    Although she was teaming with her husband, he wasn't in the truck when it happened.

    Can't he get a job in trucking? Or maybe he is since the article was published...

    Antique bridge. $750K is not replacement but restoration costs?

    I think $750K sounds cheap even for teardown and replace!

    The I90 rebuild in Illinois from O'Hare and westward... wait for it.... 4 Million a day! IIRC

    Costs are et:al. Likely she destroyed the footings on the bank with her weight and then twisted the iron. You have to lift the bridge out, ##### damage to everything, have engineers with civil and structural licenses redraw everything, get it approved, award bid etc.... My cranes ( 90 to 100 T ) are $2100 a day...every day. Many charge travel, escort and fuel.....I've paid as much as $8000 a day for one 100T and all it's support.

    $750k is light IMO...... be more like just resetting the bridge . I'm sure the carriers insurance co. wasn't happy.

    Well, that depends. Are you talking long ton, or short ton?:D
    Oh yeah, and is it Tuesday, or Friday?:confused:
    Are you talking a ton of feathers, or a ton of bricks. (This was actually a question I heard asked, very seriously, one time.):eek:
