Dumptruck Truck Driver Cited For Damaging 11 Vehicles

Truck Driver Cited For Damaging 11 Vehicles
4/7/09
Wisconsin
Quote:
From the Dane County Sheriff's Department:
At approximately 7:30 am, Dane County Sheriff’s Deputies began receiving reports from motorists of a gravel truck traveling eastbound on Highway 19, creating what some motorists referred to as a “hail storm” of gravel.
An L & M Transit Company dump truck operated by Jason Hanson of Dodgeville left the Yahara Quarry near Waunakee without properly checking his load of gravel. A total of eleven motorists have reported vehicle damage sustained in this mornings incident. The damage consists of cracked windshields in addition to chips and dents to the bodies of some vehicles.
Mr. Hanson was cited for spilling waste on a roadway, which carries a fine of $186.00.

some of those dump drivers think the big sticker on the back saying "not responsible for damage, stay back 200 feet" is a waiver for them to drive over loaded or without the tarp secured/in place

he might have not cleaned off the tail gate or sides, or his tail gate was open as some gravel drivers have done.
