How many pounds is 6 tons?

How did she get a cdl? What are the testing standards in her home state? She was obviously not adequately trained or evaluated.

More common than you might realize. "It wasn't my fault, it was the GPS..."

While I believe most truck drivers are good ones, over the years I've increasingly seen some dangerous stuff being done by truckers.

If you're reading this on a computer...

Thank a truck driver.



Bada bada bing

There are a lot of good men and women doing a great job for the trucking industry, they're Professional Drivers.

Obviously, this was not one of them.

We can't fix stupid. :S

Mary Lambright reportedly told law enforcement investigators that she had missed her exit and was planning on parking her semi truck at the Paoli Walmart. After she tried unsuccessfully several times to turn the big rig around and pull into the local Walmart, she decided to attempt to cross the Paoli Bridge instead.

Lambright told law enforcement investigators that she did see the weight limit and “no semis” sign but also said that she did not know “how many pounds six tons was.” The tractor-trailer she was driving reportedly weighed close to 30 tons at the time of the Indiana bridge collapse.


She also told police officials that she was uncomfortable backing up the semi truck and that fear played into her decision to drive across the bridge.


1880 Historical Bridge Destroyed due to a 'math genius' :S

..too uneducated to be driving a truck. Don't see that every day. Apparently doesn't know what a truck with a red line through it means either.
