If you seen how big of base was under that pole you'd know why it didn't budge......The concrete under it weights many many many times more then the truck. A tractor trailer would have a very hard time moving it, if it would even. Some of those are down 20+ feet.

I thought those poles are to shear at the base on impact

What does the footing have to do with the strength of the pole itself? It could be down 6 feet and make that damage if it was frozen...Usually a pole will cave under that amount of side impact.
Cyle, get lost and go troll somewhere else.
