    Midland area: A driver hauling an over sized something hits a bridge.......ok but he takes off.....less than an hour later he hits another bridge in the same city..... no kidding! Both are closed from damage.

    Evidence left behind tells deputy dawg that its the same load........so deputy dawg searches the data base and guess what? All current permit holders accounted for meaning no permit.

    Q: What could the load look like? I mean both bridges are closed! He bow shaped the I beams!.

    Unbelievable!

    "Stay Loaded Trucking"? With a name like that, shippers should keep their expectations on the minimal side, anyway.

    i guess, better to be "stay loaded", then maybe "always loaded"?

    or, "we drive loaded"?
