Semi overturned on i29 southbound
-
Some retard flipped his semi onto the side on i29 southbound right at the i94 overpass. I have no idea how he did it, it was a flatbed. Traffic is stopped and being re-routed onto i94 either direction. I saw FOX news was out there when I left best buy as well.

indeed it does, try to go over a double decker bridge with an empty cattle pot with a 50mph gust...

The owner of our company came into work tonight and said he was carrying steel plate. Imagine one of the fuckers coming down the road at you.
Why does it seem that all the major semi accidents happen in that general region on that fuckin lane?

It was raining when it happened...I saw it on the news and the equipment did not look up to par, air bags were weather cracked. If one blows while going around a turn, load shifts and tips pretty easy. Also could have been going too fast around the clover leaf.

Also could have been going too fast around the clover leaf.I didn't mean that the rain was the cause but it wasn't perfect road conditions by any means. I figured he took the turn too sharp and the rear just came out from behind him, never saw the news or what the actual reason was.

well you dont need just a special driving permit, but the company or currior service also needs a special permit for hauling certain types of loads.
btw its all legal until you get caught, iv had a semi full of grain weighing in at 116,000 lbs..

Right and right. Just more people get caught in SD due to the Highway patrol and DOT officials not getting laid. It maybe just out of state trucks but we get a lot of BS tickets in SD. I guess somebody has to make up for their tax system. Just this week we got a ticket for an imaginary nail in a tire that was still holding 100% of it's air, and a ticket for no brake lights on a trailer but when the driver blocked the brake pedal down and went back to check, they magically started working again. Still got a ticket though:icon_scratch: End mini rant.
