Dang, just bought over 700 sq feet of tile. Might have been a discount there. Hope driver is fine. Appears he jacknifed for some reason.
I hope this driver will be ok. This is basically his/her home. The load may have shifted during an unexpected event. Stay safe big rig drivers, without you – America stops.
