    Don't know how many times over the years I was day dreaming and saw my exit to late. How much time and expence is lost to go to next exit, turn around and come back. Not 3-4 hundred grand worth

    Tanker, Van, Flatbed, Dump Trailer they all are dangerous going to fast around a corner.. Now this corner does sneak up fast on you but still I mean it's a 40km ramp... I dunno why people go so far around corners myself...

    Certain trailers are worst then others.. I mean when I haul the dump trailer I go slower on the ramps cause it's really top heavy because of the design of it.. It's a tub dump so less material at the bottom..

    Guys need to be careful... Judging by the picture the driver doesn't look at that old... Maybe he is a new driver or new at tanks??? Either way thankfully he has lived and this will teach him a huge lesson.. I am sure the company will not dump it..

    Flew by it in express in the morning with collector barely moving, didnt see any accident, guess the bridge was blocking the view. Figured with 5 fire trucks and heavy tow it would be in the news...

    Company I work for got the wreck (Heavy Tow Company). Driver said he just plain underestimated how sharp the turn was. It was there for HOURS waiting for another truck to Off-Load as it was a Dangerous Good.
