Improper permits 2 days in a row….disaster!

Looking at that first one and all the damage on the road and how it went in the hole there....at what point do you say "hay wait a second" and just stop? Jesus

 

I think OLDSKOOLERnWV provided the reason in his link to that story.

• They gave wrong information to obtain permits
• They copied the same permit for 4 loads
• The equipment hauling it, 2 out of 4 loads, were different
• The drivers obviously didn't do their own planning or dry run via Google Map.

Your rhetorical question gives them too much credit if the rest of the previous points above indicate that they and their bosses were complete idiots.

 

Yeah, but I think the point was that you can see the ditch, and you can see your back tires, and it's daylight, so how does this happen?

 

The 1st and 4th loads made it through because they had steerable axles. The loads were 15 feet too long and the permits shouldn’t have been approved had the trucking company given the correct information on the load length.
Someone probably thought they could “shortcut” on the permits by giving the DOH load lengths shorter than they actually were!
Either way,the trucking company might be looking at some fines!

 

36 hours with one rotator?!?!
Now,say for example the wrecker service charge $1200 dollars an hour just for that rotator.
36 hours X $1200= $43,200!!!
Just for working to get the mess cleared-that’s not just for SHOWING UP or preparing to work or finishing up!
The bill could be more or less!!
I would not want to be the insurance company involved right now!
