   REGARDING:
   “just get out of their way”

   I favor anybody trying to lawfully earn a living and give them the benefit of the doubt.

   Nonetheless, “get out of my way” attitude is that of a bully and I don’t like bullies. I hope your husband isn’t a bully.

   David for honest living and fewer bullies

   you can’t get to Quintette hwy. without driving on 95A. They cut trees in this area.Unless you’re a logger you would be mostly unaware of where.

   This truck driver may have done nothing wrong…he may be one of the “good ” truckers, but some are very scary and drive way over the speed limit and I have seen several “almost accidents” where the truck was traveling too fast to be safe for other drivers, and several where cars turning were almost rear-ended on hwy 95A…some going north, some going south. Where are they going, fully loaded when they go north, and in such a hurry?

   I am sure this truck was turning on to 95A from Quintette Rd. and heading to the plant they are cutting lots of timber over there in Santa Rosa County. You pass log trucks on that road each day.

   I’m unaware of any tree cutting by the paper company on 95A

   The driver what looked like was having some kind of problem was going two mph just trying to get off the road and out of everybodies way were the ditch was to steep.No good deed goes unpunished i guess.

   These trucks exceed the speed limit all the time as well as the trucks carrying wood chips, they all routinely run 65 or 70 mph on all the roads especially hwy 97, they pass me all the time. They are paid by the load…time is money

   Some of the log trucks turn off Hwy 29 to run on the back roads to avoid the DOT on 29. Some of these trucks are extremely heavy and might even exceed what the weight limit is for our roads. If he was over loaded and traveling faster then the posted speed limit (which most do) then it’s just a accident waiting to happen.

    The backroads is where the woods are to cut trees.Where should they drive and where should they get trees.Any suggestions?JM

    Three loaded log trucks came speeding out of 95A @ Morris Avenue onto Hwy.29
    yesterday, trying to beat the red light. As they sped on down to the Muscogee/29 light, the first one ran the yellow light, & the 2nd. one totally ran the red light.
    I know they have to meet quotas, but is it worth it to run over someone else? I’m glad that I had moved to the left lane, for they might have run over me trying to get to IP…………

    I’m surprised there are not a whole lot more accidents with the logging trucks
    they are just like so many other drivers. Why are they on the back roads anyway with full loads? I’m not saying this particular driver did anything wrong maybe he just likes to take that big rig down one lane narrow roads

    Glad no one was killed..

    So what happened? How did it overturn? All these trucks on 95A fly down the road and some won’t even slow down when the person in front of them is turning…they just fly around them.
