    Then they will have to place 2000 orange cones around the thread and close 2 of the 3 lanes down for 20 miles without any sign of life for days.

    It's really sad what kind of people the industry hires to train to deliver the freight and they don't care and neither does Fmcsa otherwise they would be fixing the problem instead of more stupid laughable laws that only takes a huge bite out of paychecks.

    Even if she didn't know how many pounds 6 tons is, couldn't she interpret the "multilingual" picture-sign, that denotes 'NO TRUCKS?' Glad SHE will be off the roads now!

    ps: Nothing against women, by any means. My wife holds CDL-A and drives also. Not like this chick, tho!~
     
    Daria, Blackshack46 and pattyj Thank this.

    That's 1,200 lbs, right? She should have been way less than that, hauling water bottles! Those things are made out of plastic fer cryin' out loud! ;)

    Article also said she had her "CDL endorsement" since May.....Without being able to back up it's a miracle she made it past June 1st!o_O

    If she doesn't know how many lbs is in a ton don't think she weighed any of her loads.even if she would have been empty the rig itself weighs more then six tons.then you said she can't back I'd like to know who she drives for.
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    No one is going to ask ? A Amish truck driver? Would not a truck be one the evils of modern living? Not aiming of attacking her religion . Just a question.Sorry the young Lady didn't get proper training and likely ruined her career ! Feel bad the town lost a historic bridge.
