    Took them 6 hours? And they only had the one lane open the whole time. Thats ########. They should have had the cleared up in no more then an hour. Instead the pics look like they are all standing around going yup, the truck went off the road.

    I was talking to a tow truck operator from Georgia this summer and he was telling me about how if they dont get the road way clear in the first hour the will get fined.

    And even if they where having allot of difficulties getting the truck out, they should have then waited till later in the night when traffic was gone before they removed the wreck. They could have had all travel lanes open during peak traffic.

    There is a lot of accidents there is no way they can get cleared in a hour time tow truck driver was pulling your leg
    And if they would have left it there it would create a hazard

    Wonder what that guy was really doing, I've never had an issue if I was tired I sent a message and they told me to pull over. This is not GTS or Superservice (now the same thing anyway) fault but the fault of this driver. He was probably trying to get home, or trying to get to his next load. Everytime we went into FL we had to Deadhead out after waiting about 24 hours for a load in fl.
