That's a pretty horrific crash. Not much left of the Ground tractor. The only consolation is that, aside from a moment of utter terror for the Ground driver at the wheel, it would have probably been quick.

This is why these damn meat factories like Swift need to overhaul their training so it involves legitimate training. And for that matter, other carriers should start getting off their asses and get around to having training programs. PROFESSIONAL drivers should get PROFESSIONAL training. Creating someone capable of holding the steering wheel is NOT ENOUGH for ten tons of iron moving at 65mph.

Wow, nas! Thanks for posting. Glad no one was hurt.

Never seen damage like that to an Interstate bridge... That will be an EXPENSIVE claim.

"The Tennessee Highway Patrol cited the semi-truck driver and equipment moving company, D G Equipment Movers Llc. out of Lily, Kentucky.

Officials said the driver did not have the proper endorsements on his driver's license or the proper permit to be in the area. He was cited for the vehicle being overweight, over-height, over-width and for not having the proper endorsements on his license.

"It is absolutely, 100 percent the driver's fault and the company's fault for being in this area," said a THP sergeant."

Huh...I let all of the air out of the driver’s seat, position my cooler between the seats with my old padded log book on top so my rear or hip sits perfectly, with my feet in the passenger seat and my head in the driver’s seat while using my jacket for a pillow...sleep like a baby (waking up every two hours looking for a nipple)!!

Also agree, naps are habit forming which is why I try not to take them...once you start your body relies on them IMO!!

Old Dominion Freight Line Posts Record First-Quarter Revenue of $925 Million

http://www.ttnews.com/articles/old-...3Nnl1VEtQRWF3WVRVS1wvVGsrWnlYNEg1cXU3UlRzIn0=

"Old Dominion says the revenue increased primarily because of a 15% increase in less-than-truckload tons and a 5.9% jump in LTL revenue per hundredweight. The company also said increased business and improved financial status allowed it to hire almost 12% more employees compared with the same period last year."
