    I have pulled Xtra trailers a few times when it gets busy.
    If Penske is on the hook for this, then that will be a relief for the town. Penske has plenty of money to pay for that bridge.

    And they will spend 3 times the amount trying to get out of it. Trust me the town wont get crap for relief if the blood sucking lawyers have anything to say about it.

    I wish I was a fly on the wall and could see this girl's reaction as that thing collapsed around her.

    For now anyway. You didn't think they were gonna make her write out a check for the whole bridge right away did you? That would be something to see if they did....

    I am sure that they lost their job and have that tiny fine but doubt the driver gets much more. And probably be sitting in a truck for a different company in a few days.
    The company on the other hand get to put pen to check.
    Heck I have paid a no seat belt ticket for more than that. So I think the driver fine should have stung a lot more. Say a grand+

    Made in 1880, so it was about 135 years young.
