    Those transfer trailers are top heavy when loaded, I'm speculating he was speeding to fast around that curve...

    "Somehow managed" to roll it? I'd say he went into the curve way too hot with a top-heavy load...and then tried holding his lane rather than widening his turn when he felt it wanting to go.

    I don't disagree but since I don't know the facts I hate to speculate. I'll post them, you analyze them...lol.

  6. Briley from 65 back to 40 55 mile an hour all the way around.
    that were talking about CSA generation truck drivers you don't think he was speeding do you?
    I see a bunch of these are award-winning professionals with MBI Mister bolts out of Burnham Illinois near the Indiana state line for years they have terminals all over and let me just say they definitely hire some real winners..
    waste Management seems to be the only ones that hire anybody remotely close it's a halfway decent it seems

    Most of the trash haulers, recyclers, etc., start their drivers around $15. Not exactly going to get the upper tier.

    Those dudes always roll. They must be extremely top heavy, consistently bad drivers, unevenly loaded because it's trash or something. There is a spot where you get off the PA turnpike in King of Prussia and the lane to go US202 south has a bit of a curve in it as it goes over the other lanes. Those dudes used to roll over and off that turn all the time, there has been a few people killed that they fell on.
