Yes thats right 2 roll overs in 8 days! This time it wasn't a freak accident. On friday morning, according to everything I've heard the driver was going down te service road and tried to beat the light and when traffic entered the intersection he cut a 90-degree right hand turn at 30 MPH!!(with 10 yards on) He walked away and nobody else was hurt. Truck=destroyed!!

It never pays to get in a hurry especially when loaded. You can't say it enough. We have had a good streak no accidents in 3 years KNOCK ON WOOD (Hitting self in the head)

Sounds like this guy will be lucky to walk into the unemployment line, rather than being wheeled to the morgue.

I agree with Lead Dog. You know things always happen in 3's.

We used to know the day before that the guy was coming (but we didn't know who would be picked) but now the guy just shows up unannounced. |

If you've had a few one night, and go in the morning after say 6 hours or so after, ya might fail the breathalyzer. That's when they send you home to wait for whatever. I dunno, never failed one.

We have in our policy that it has to be 8 hours since your last drink to your shift start. Its zero tolerance, we get sent home, but for a bit more permanent amount of time.
