    I hope the driver is okay...the article didn't say much about the driver. It looked like a really bad accident.

    U S Xpress F/P page said the driver made it out ok. No other details.

    Not sure what the report meant by not being tagged right unless they meant that it was placarded for hazardous materials right. They didn't say that he hit anything, just it burst into flames.
     
    mamamullins Thanks this.

    Well thank God that the driver made it okay, and that they are able to go home to their family.

    They have no idea about the tagging they may have seen water running out and had no paperwork for it so they deemed it hazmat. I shut Greenwich CT down because frabic softner was leaking out a tote and running out the trailer and until they found out exacally what it was they deemed it hazmat

    We took a Clorox load back to the terminal one time that was a d/h there because it was leaking some sort of fluid from the trailer. Husband had stopped at the Pilot for fuel not far away when it was discovered. With mixed loads you never know for sure what it could be.

    I wonder if he had a fuel line leak of some sort.
