    Another good reason not to speed through the parking lot. The recovery guys said he swerved to miss a light post he didn't see at first. He had totes of liquid juice which shifted and sloshed and took him down. Couldn't see a company name or Dot#. Independent or small outfit probably foreign or U.S. super trucker.

    This at the Missouri westbound Rest Area at mile marker 126 today.

    That is quite impressive a roll over in the middle of a empty parking lot. What a way to set the bar High.

    It takes a special kind of stupid to flop a truck in an empty and level parking lot.

    I guess if your going to have a rollover..This open rest area is probably the Best place to do it without causing too much hysteria wiith the media,law enforcement and the public.

    Probably keep it kinda hush hush if nothing leaked or spilled

    Get the wrecker in there quickly before all heck breaks loose
