    When you see that visual (angle), it honestly does not look that problematic. And I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully they were empty ... but such is life in the trucking world ... all is not all that it appears to be.

    There is way too many people out there that I can see doing stupid stuff like this that are so far from having a Clue what they are doing.

    Unbelievable any of the megas can afford the insurance claims and lawsuits for hiring these clueless people.

    Well, yes ... but you gotta drive an additional 5 miles to get behind them, so there.

    But seriously. Can you pull them ACROSS? Otherwise, how do they get turned around? IIRC, they will have to back at least a half to 3/4 of mile to find a drive to get backed into and turned around in, then, they may get hung up there, too.

    Id drag her back and wish her luck, possibly remain on standby when she attempts to turn around by backing into a pond

    From the article-

    "
    The driver, who said “I’m embarrassed, this hasn’t happened to me before,” did not want to give her name.

    She said, “I won’t go this way again.”


    You just can't fix stupid......
    smdh.

    Gotta agree with you there, Miss Patty. I always wonder when these Mega's insurance costs and damaged equipment will catch up to their cheap labor. You'd think they'd actually save a little money by paying sensible wages and attracting quality drivers.
