End-Dump falls off Road
I don't have any news story to associate with this, because of the area, and I think the driver was not injured.
Anyway, another one of our company driver's was running about 40 mins ahead of me, and called me to give he a heads up. He was running up K-7 highway, between US-160 and US-400. A frameless end-dump was on it's side in the ditch. It appeared that he must have dropped a tire off the road. This stretch of road is narrow, rutted, and has absolutely no shoulders. We will run it to get to US-400. I don't like it. First time I drove it, I told my little brother about it, and he just said, you're not going to fall off the road. Yeah right, I think he needs to tell that to the guy who did today.
Our other driver, couldn't tell what company it was, as you could only see the undercarriage of the tractor and trailer. By the time I got up there, they had the road closed down, so had to take another route.
