This inherently causes the sense of hurrying. A prudent operator will manage his/her responsibilities keeping safe operations in number 1.

Here's some advice for dump truck drivers. (Pay close attention) 1. Slow down 2. Pay attention 3. Know your load You have a greater responsibility than normal commuters. You have the responsibility of keeping yourselves safe, your load safe, and everyone around you safe, oh yeah, while driving a 60,000lb truck. If you don't think you can do it then get out of the truck. It's as simple as that. Oh, and don't blame it on com.uter driver's. You should APP know that they can't drive around here anyway, so you should drive more defensive than anyone. Isn’t this the third I didn’t involving a dump truck in a week or so?

We stopped to check out what was happening. I saw 13 emergency vehicles plus the helicopter. (There may have been more on the Florida side.) The driver was being removed from the truck and was put on a stretcher and onto an ambulance and taken to the awaiting helicopter. I pray the driver and his family.

Watched just a few minutes ago in Molino a gasoline 18 wheeler run the left turn arrow north bound on 29, do a u-turn in the intersection, then cut across traffic and into the Tom Thumb.
