Given he was hauling Lumber- was he heading to a job site and was that the 'most legal' way in? I have no idea the answer to that question, just the first thing that popped into my mind.
This is what gets me about government, business spokes people & news outlets: Then later in the story......... They should have left out one of the two conflicting public statements.
Correct but such conclusion doesn't tie some "investigators" up for a month getting overtime pay, so gosh golly wally, we need stop jumping to final conclusions regardless of most conclusions being of something akin to common sense because our newer societal infrastructure doesn't allow for "seat of the pants" conclusions, for those that believe they're the smartest ones in a round room but can't understand how the square dance seating is arranged. Eye'll b leevin' ona jet plain, jus gotta figur owt war et B.
It's a SHAME the scientist "driver" wasn't injured. "driver" certainly DESERVED an injury or 3 and not just becuz of the pathetic decision. I've driven on some spooky bridges, but PONTOON "bridges" were the WORST, even with a Full Freightshaker Sleeper and an empty 53' Dry Van. Glad I had the Experiences!!
It’s entirely likely that trucks have been using that road forever but weren’t allowed too.. either way the guy knows how to secure a load … that’s likely 90,000 lbs of lumber hanging off those straps .
The wrappers say Scotsburn Lumber ltd. That mill is 40 minutes east of there Given that the bundles all look the same I doubt it was a jobsite delivery. It was probably going to a lumber yard. The driver took a wrong turn and was trying to get back down to the route he should have been on
How did the large crane get there ? a loaded B Train is not going to a construction site . Did they list the drivers name ?
