You mean that trucking company named "Sure Wish I'd Finished Training"?Love the little kid in the background.
Rumor has it the Semi driver is now working for Swift
Have you looked at the entire collection that the owner of that site has of truck bodies and trailers being destroyed? The bridge's nickname is "the can opener". The railroad lifted their bridge 8" but it doesn't seem to have affected the rate of incidents.
