    I can't find the article, but about 4-5 years ago, a tanker carrying milk rolled over on that same ramp.

    I was wrong, it was a little longer than 4-5 years ago, it was 9 years ago and in January also, but still remember it. WFMJ Article there is no pics though, but not being too far from the area, I do remember it. There has been several rollovers on that ramp over the years, and the westbound side is where they had the 50 vehicle crash 2 months ago, and another 9 vehicle crash a few weeks ago.

    that looks like a mess, but i dont pull a trailer full of milk jugs. i do bulk pickup. tanker trailers similar to this. i agree with not messing around with corners. you can hammer down on straights but DO NOT mess with corners. always go UNDER the speed posted for the corner. speeding around corners with a smooth bore is a great way to flip it over.

    Some of these drivers don’t get it. Milk,juices,bottled water-especially 43,000 pounds worth in a 13’6” high reefer WILL lay your truck over if you take certain curves too fast. If I’m not mistaken that particular ramp is a 25 mph ramp.

    Way to go, Ohio. IDK, looks like more than just milk. Not sure what those other jugs are, but probably an O/O trying to make a buck with a double stack load of 80g's in the box and over she went.

    Those are all milk. If the fat tops are throwing you off its because that load was going to a Costco most likely. Only place Ive ever seen flat top milk jugs and the blue painted pallets are a Costco thing as well.
     
    Bud A. and 201 Thank this.
