    All I can say is WOW, I had an issue one day in Chicago where a bridge that I normally could go under was being worked on. Seems some OD had hit it. Signage ? there was none to divert away until you were too close. I pulled over and was working on what plan of action to take when I saw a police car. I waved him down and he helped me bet backed up and to a spot I could turn around. Best thing for this guy would be to go to the DMV hand them his licence and tell them he is too stupid to drive.

    I agree! We had a Temp driver that tore one up that bad on his first trip along with turning into a neighborhood of brand new houses.
    He ripped a fire hydrant out of the ground along with about 100k of property damage not to mention destroying the truck and tearing the clutch out.
    How some of these guys even think they should be behind the wheel of a big rig is beyond me!

    had one driver come back one day missing a set of duals, claims he did his pretrip yet low and behold missing a set of duals when he pulled into the yard. Shop guys retraced his route and found the duals in a ditch.

    I noticed a warning decal on the side of a USA Truck trailer warning drivers not to jack beyond 90'.

    Wasn't it CRST who has/had the black stripes on the trailer where the air deflectors would hit, so the idiots would stop turning?
