    I have 2 sisters that live in Paoli. The residents are not happy with this trucker. The go around is literally 1/4 mile up the road.

    "When asked by Paoli Police why she continued through the bridge knowing the weight limit was only 6 tons she admitted to not knowing how many pounds that was".

    My wife is a school teacher. She said 5th grade is the year that students learn how many pounds are in a ton. Elementary school children, with no CDL, know this information.

    Don't you love it what they have done to our industry?
    Saddest part is that there will be more drivers like that in the future.

    Not defending the person, but please tell me exactly how much you remember from the 5th grade. The only thing I can actively recall is the little brunette girl that sat in front of me in a mini with her underwear showing.
