    she'll never drive in this industry ever again and who knows maybe she doesn't want to.had she got proper training she would have never been on that bridge.folks in today's industry treat driving truck so lightly.one thing that goes with trucking is basic math and numbers,she didn't know how many pounds six tons was.she should have been asking questions while in training.most the things that happen in this industry should never happen even once but it does and never changes.like hitting low bridges driving on bridges like this lady did.folks don't read and/or understand signs.I'm convinced all one needs is a pulse to drive truck.
