    I read the news report [such as it was], hence my requests for clarification. Unless they later updated the story, but my earlier questions still stand.

    So let me see if I have this right. "Turning too soon" and "lost control" are the same thing? That's good to know and explains a lot of prior crash reporting.

    Go back and re-read it then. It basically says that he shorted a corner and took down the sign while trying to follow his gps. Rookie error.

    At least England is honest. It says right on the back of every trailer 1. lease, 2. train, and 3. drive. Hahahahaha! That's putting the cart before the horse don't ya think? Maybe i'm wrong but i think it would be better to train first. Clearly England wants your money first, and doesn't care if you end up in the ditch.

    Had one of these genius park next to me this morning while on my break at the loves in Beiver, MO. Opens his trailer doors and proceeded to dump all the broken pallets pieces and what ever else on the ground instead of doing the logical thing and walking 20 feet and grab a trash can. Then he takes his nasty broom and puts it inside of the cab. I guess he's to stupid to figure out that push broom can hang up where the load locks go on back of the cab. Definitely a head shaker.:biggrin_25512:

    Not sure of a news story or not, but another England driver took out a sign at the TA in Santa Rosa, Nm.

    Also looked like they stuck it on a pole too.
