    Can't see a seal, so, don't know if it's loaded... wonder how long it took to pry the seat out of his butt

    They should suck the fuel out of the tanks and let it there,
    Plus put a LED roadsign (that is unreadable except for that split second the angle is perfect) with a trucks use left lane message.

    As far as I can tell the "trucks use left lane" signs are to ease merging traffic in packed construction zones, not to keep trucks from veering off the shoulder.

    I think those signs are to keep the no talent steering wheel holders from doing just what this clown did.

    Plus the paved shoulder isn't made for large amounts of heavy truck traffic. Usually that's where you see the left lane requirements.

    Looks like an owner op truck to me. Maybe he got real tired and swerved off? Atleast it's on its side not upside down.

    Looks like they ran over a bit of guardrail. I'll bet their seat cushion is packed pretty tight.

    Maybe, maybe not
    A lot of clowns either can't read or just don't care as they blow by everyone else who are correctly running the left lane

    It is a big problem between Louisville and Nashville too. At least ten signs say All Trucks Left Lane 55 mph and I have only seen one driver besides myself that will actually do it.

    Gotta be empty to not have pulled the truck over on its side. That is one for the pucker factor
