    Well the driver doesn’t seem to present a risk to them. They aren’t out in a stressful chase or stand-off. Really, if routine cleanup and situation management of what is caused by idiots pisses them off, they probably should look into other work.

    There are parallels in trucking and most professions. When the easy parts of the job piss you off, it’s time to rethink employment.

    Try telling that to the Ontario Provincial Police!

    Knocking down overhead highway signs (resulting in a highway shutdown)and then leaving the scene of the accident is not one of those approved past times! The fact that the driver responsible actually did this is nothing short of sheer stupidity-and his company is going to be on the hook for certain for the damages and cleanup!

    Maybe it’s time for the driver responsible to rethink employment!;)

    Maybe it’s time for the driver to be in jail. But I’m still not seeing a reason for this to upset a cop. Easy day.

    Nowadays some law enforcement can get PO’d for less. Plus,they’re not crazy about dealing with paperwork from stupidity!

    The driver is from Brampton so it's not a surprise.

    Well they can have the job. Being a cop is like being societies trash collector. It would be tough dealing with what they deal with on their bad days. My respect to them.

    He's upset because this has happened a few times here in the past few years. No need of it.

    I think the drivers who were shutdown waiting while the cleanup continued were probably more upset than anything else.
    Seriously though,how could you not check to make sure that your dump body was down and secured? That’s right up there with checking the fifth wheel.
