Owner operator under contract.
More than likely the contract will be terminated.

As it should be… There’s no excuse for that especially when a sign right there says no thru trucks

Was that the female that dropped a 6 ton limit bridge into the river?

It wasn't a female that dropped that bridge. Drivers name was Harjinder Singh. Same name as the Florida guy but not the same guy. Had to talk to cops through an interpreter. Bridge was posted for 6 tons.

Trucking company and driver sued after following GPS onto 6 ton bridge, causing collapse

It's two different bridges. One was an amish lady, and the other one was another driver by the same name as the Florida turnpike guy

Think this is the one you are talking about: Truck driver destroys historic bridge by driving her 30-ton trailer across it - because she got her math wrong and didn't know she was FIVE TIMES over the weight limit - Truck Safety Coalition

Yes that's it

She didn't need to get her math wrong. A no truck sign was also clearly posted. No need to worry your pretty little brain about tonnage calculations. No truck sign means no trucks. Easy peasy.
