You better look again.That is a SMX truck.Looks like he shoulda stuck with something he knows, like drywall or shingles.
Keendriver is right, about the name on the truck and the drywall or shingles part. Problem being there, the drywall or shingles would most likely end up being put on upside down.
I've had discussion with the HH Operations Manager numerous times after one of the drivers from the co I'm leased to nails an underpass. The first thought is usually "new driver". Actually, in most cases, it's been drivers that have been doing oversize loads for 10,15 and beyond years. Seems the biggest problem is FOCUS. Driver complacency and distractions are the culprits. The only way to handle these type loads are to be completely focused on the job, 100% of the time. One phone call/text message, one yappy escort going on about what they did last week, anything other than complete focus, and what you see is what you get. Sure, lots of loads make it because they were lucky, but lucky don't make ya good.
As for Keen, I worked for Bill Keen in the late 70's and have stayed in touch with him thru the years. For the most part they are one of the best at what they do. I'm not saying they may not have a wild card or 2 floating around, but they won't be there long.
CinOK, There's bunches of those out there looking for tha quick buck. Aren't they the ones that show up with a 50ton trailer to load the 75ton load? My experience with those have been they cut my rate by half, go try to load, break their trailer, and then I get a call to go rescue the shopper,,errr customer.
That's usually about the time I'm to busy watchin my lawn grow. Sorry, can't make it.
OK, Let me get off of my soap box before I fall off.
