    Huh. That's not far from the Lenoir City terminal - but it appears to be moving away from the terminal. Too damaged for terminal to fix, but not damaged enough to just part it out?

    They mentioned a unusual amount of trailers being topped recently.

    I would guess this is partly due to the company accepting a bunch of oddball loads in new places where we have poor directions.

    That's not an excuse. Topping should not happen, but it is more likely as drivers go into and out of new places.

    If that's the Hershey's facility in Hershey pa, I think England shuttles trailers between the dc and the plants in the area. Some dont have a lot of room.

    Looks like it might be Palmyra Hershey DC, yes, but until the last few days, there should have been a generator in that picture. Maybe the pic is from before Covid, or the plant removed the generator on wheels.

    I saw one of our Walmart dedicated trucks pulled over by the Colorado SP north of Denver last week. Didn't realize it in time or I would have snapped a picture -- I was riding shotgun on the way to pick up my truck from the shop.

    Nothing to do with Crete,but.........
    Was cruising I 80 in PA,when I saw brake lights and everyone hitting the hammer lane,so I followed.
    As I got closer to the Rig on the shoulder I saw some debris in the lane which were his triangles
    that he set up in the lane next to his truck (2were ran over),and he was standing in the lane on his cell phone.
    All I can say is WOW!
