    In all fairness the pic is of a straight truck not a semi so one could assume no straight trucks over 6 tons right?

    Yeah she's distraught all right, distraught b/c she's in jail not distraught b/c she killed(?) & injured innocent bystanders.

    Honestly, you go over a bridge that says 6 tons, and ignore the no truck signs, then you make the bridge collapse, they should just pull a gun out and put one in your brain and be done with it. Obviously this man is too stupid and he's dangerous.

    He's gonna be paying big time for that little mistake. "No trucks" signs, low clearance, and posted 6 ton limit. I'll bet he'd be blaming it on his company routing or GPS.

    My company routes it's drivers, but it's more the general route, as for specific addresses it's up to the drivers to get directions from the QC if it's in there, call the customer for directions. Usually if there's a problem with the route or if I have to detour I just have to let them know. Usually I'll use google maps or google earth as well as the truckers atlas and various apps to find ways into a place and avoid non truck routes or messes like this one.
