    I wasn't going to post this, but clearly a bad day for dump trucks. A woman was killed in Milwaukee yesterday when a dump truck ran her over. I noticed the tail gate was open, and blacktop near the back. Wonder if the driver was in a hurry to get rid of it before it turned into a rock. 34 year old driver is done driving trucks, for sure.

    I would like to add, I was driving on some 'goat paths' yesterday out of the northern side of Pittsburgh with a lot of dump trucks running like they were nascar drivers! What are they thinking? Nothing is that important to drive that way, all it takes is 1 mistake!

    I see you are a newer driver.....so let me give you a little more of a heads up.....What you witnessed is SOP w/coalbuckets throughout that area....they get paid by the load&never let up....and in case you haven't been south of there yet.....it only Gets WORSE the further south you get in Coal Country.....coupled w/the 100k+coal ONLY weights in the Bluegrass....
