So this Associated Press video is in todays news. It looks like a "Benefit Transportation" tractor hauling for RL, so yeah, another job well done by purchase transportation (full disclosure: I work for Saia, and I dont like PT either). Have you guys heard anything specific about this accident?

All we got on it at our barn was it rolled over. But nothing if it was the drivers fault or was caused by a 4 wheeler.

I saw a different aerial shot showing what looked like a flatbed that plowed through the R&L trailer and ended up crossing the median before stopping.

It's pretty clear he was on his side before it was hit, still has the trailer sidewall on the passenger side.

He turned the van into a set of pups.

Ouch. Gotta hate PT. As if getting screwed out of a load isn't enough, they make us look bad.
