I talked to the kid a and asked Wtf? He said to me that he didn't see the signs. I asked him if he saw the pictures yet he said no. I told him well when you do you're gonna see them, you can see them from space. Not to mention, even if there were no signs, how the eff would you ever think your 13 + truck would fit under there??

Yeah, a real shocker. I thought tree people were so much smarter than that. Go figure.

I'm wondering if his insurance will pay out seeing as he willingly let a non cdl driver drive the truck? There's going to be bridge repairs too.

Well, I just hope he did a thorough pre trip, and his log book was all in order before setting out.

Lol, u serious? Ahhahahahahahaha
Aren't we beyond that point anyway since the kid didn't have a cdl?

No, not serious. I guess my point is that a moron is still a moron, regardless of whether or not they have a cdl.

True. I feel bad for the driver. He's a friend of mine, but obviously lacking in certain areas, specifically common sense.

Yeah, bad deal for your friend. The owner should've recognized his limitations (beyond the legality of the situation) and never put him in that truck in the first place. Oh well, he's gonna pay for it now.
Dust in the wind... or maybe morons lodged under the bridge, whatever way you wanna look at it. Lol

I feel like calling my attorney and asking him if insurance pays out in a case like this. I'm really curious.
This guy is one of my direct competitors

Tried telling me he didn't see the signs lol...

I guess if it was one of my more dirtbag competititors, I'd be kinda loving it too. Just to read about it happening somewhere else doesn't really do it for me though. Same with these videos of homeowners dropping trees on houses, etc. Just makes me sick after a while. Or maybe it's just the tree business in general that's making me feel sick.

I'm not happy that it happened. My friend's dumb ass got hurt and he has a newborn. Also, I've never met Sebastian, so I don't have anything bad to say about him. What is funny is that someone tried to shoehorn that beast under that thing. It's just amazing to me.

got my 2 kask comm helmets yesterday. mated them and very nice.
more on the bad news...get a call from my town yesterday 7 am and next town over cop wants to talk to me, they have my truck. all kinds of stuff goes thru my mind. call and they have my toyota pick up. who cares....BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TRAILER AND 2 MINI SKIDS ($25k replcmt ea) ON IT??
call and they tell me they got my toyo at 5 am on radar thru their town (near the interstate). he stops it and approaches and THE GUY BOLTS...GUY TAKES OFF ON A CHASE WITH A FOUR CYL TOYO WITH FOUR K OF TWO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ON IT!!
he gives chase and a quarter of mile down the road in huge intersection guy swerves to miss a car at the light and loses control and is on front yards now across from giant high school. he does maybe 3 yards and hits a sunken drive and THE WHOLE TRAILER BREAKS OFF AND SLIDES INTO THE MUD (thank God)...
the yota rolls across 6 lanes into the school campus and into a yew bush and comes to a stop. cop follows it and jumps out with gun drawn. guy had jumped out and fled when trailer detached AND COP DIDN'T SEE THIS???
I go down and all I care is the 2 mini s (stumper/and dingo) and they are fine but trailer has bumper attached to pintel hitch. go over across street and 4 copcars there and they are investigating dusting for prints and taking evidence. steer column is tore open and ratchet, wire cutters, screw driver, can of pepsi of his, flashlight are on floor with pieces of column from hot wiring.
cops had brought in dog and he lost trail....comedy of errors...but I somehow feel REAL lucky at this point. I take minis off and lift trailer onto my silverado and then put them back on and take them home. take toyo to my mechanic and ask for a go over. making some noises but started right up with key and drove home.
lovely start of a day. just a matter of days till they finish the road project into my new lot property and I have to wait so I don't get blocked in when I need stuff.

They filed charges against the guy who drove his 18 wheeler ALL THE WAY ACROSS this bridge. My guy, Andrew saw the whole thing.
