    Your right. Not only would the pole go flying, but we would be reading the speed limit sign upside down from what it is now.

    It wasn't photoshopped. The sign could have been hit by something else, and that speed limit sign could have spun around on its mount. The tree is still there because he didnt hit it. It was at an angle...but...

    It still proves that Werner is the worst. :p

    Prove to me it wasn't photoshopped.

    There is no way that tree is that close & not got hit or have limb damage.... I'm been out here way to long... A bit truck even gets within a block of a tree & limbs start breaking & falling.

    Thanks Redd, you took the words right out of my mouth.

    The poster says they received poor training huh? That may well be but, does that excuse them from not using good judgement?

    I'm really sick and tired of all of the "old timers" and "old school" drivers baggin on anyone and everyone that drives for a company that trains students.

    I have sat and watched MANY independent (read OLD SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS) make bad decisions and do silly things in the parking lot. This does not mean I talk smack about all of the indies out there.

    My new favorite form on entertainment is listening to the old timers talk smack about everybody they see on the cb then, do something silly. It's great, you should try it.

    I can't prove it, but just look at it. The truck hit the building, there is no doubt about that. Whether the trees and pole were added afterwards I have no idea.

    :D

    Graphic designers have some amazing skills. They can make anything look like the real thing.

    Very true....very true.

    The one thing that has eluded designers on Photoshop for years is how to make a Werner truck appear safe. It is a mystery.

    Once upon a time, I went to design school. While I was never that good, a few former classmates of mine could make that picture from scratch.

    Don't believe me? Throw "coroflot" into your preferred search engine and check out a few portfolios. A talented person can do amazing things with rendering software.

    I'm not saying that trucks don't hit buildings, but the photoshop fabrication is definitely possible.
