WA: Machinery pulled by dump truck hits 5 highway overpasses

Can anybody really be that dumb?

 

wow.......

 

WOW doesnt even sum that up. You cant fix STUPID! I quote I felt the truck surge a few times. How do you not hear it or see debris fly?

 

BTW HI DON, welcome back

 

ya I just didn't have any other words for that......and that's what driving is becoming just filled with dumb people that cant drive, and screw everything up more than it already is....take em out back ill meet you their.

 

Not necessarily dumb, but all of us are forgetful, & sometimes we are forgetful at the wrong moment.

Once a chicken feed truck driver left a chicken farm in the north part of the country & did not let his feed boom down, after bringing down numerous electrical wires he stopped, to find him self dragging many feet of electric wires & phone lines.

Maybe he left the engine running & for some reason the boom raised up after he hit the road. I have heard of that happening local, & the investigation that followed proved it happned that way yet the driver was still held at fault.

 

Lol, if you have ever been out to Aberdeen WA you will understand that this kind of "smart" is sadly above averadge for this neck of the woods!

 

Sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off pushing loads in front like the big ocean going freighters. This way we could look out front and see what we are hitting lol

 

Equipment operators are not "truck drivers" anymore than heavy haul guys are equipment operators. This situation worked out perfectly. The construction company thought they would save money by having one of their $12 an hour dump truck drivers haul that excavator to the job site, nobody was hurt, the company ends up paying a ton of money in fines plus repairing the bridges and the machine...
Next time they'll pay a professional to move their machine.
