New Truck Drivers Not Properly Prepared For The Road

Ever missed your exit and after making several turns to get back, you just pull in anywhere to turn around? 23 year old Mary Lambright just received her CDL a few months back May 2015. Lambright caused an Indiana bridge built in 1880, to collapse as she was hauling 43,000 pounds of bottled water nearly six times heavier than the posted limit.

The newly truck driver wasn't to sure how many pounds made up 6 tons but she decieded to try and make it over the bridge. She told police she didnt see the bridge sign posted no trucks allowed and was uncomfortable backing her truck up with all the cars around.

Lambright and her 17 year old female passenger were not injured and was cited with reckless operation of tractor-trailer, disregarding a traffic control device, and over weighted on posted bridge.

Everyone just make sure you are being extra careful and watch out for road signs.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE TRUCKERS AND REMEMBER TO KEEP ON ROLLIN'
