    @ Inertia,
    Someone gonna pay for this roll over.
    It’s not the drivers fault about the fees. He/She is doing a job. Someone has to do it. Just think of all that garbage piled up.doesnt sound too expensive to get it gone..( I know people are on fixed income has trouble paying ,there is help for that ) . Glad the driver is ok..

    Not surprised. They speed through our neighborhood all the time. If it’s not sanitation speeding it’s Fedex. I think UPS is the only company that respects peoples neighborhoods.

    There is nothing but great people driving and working those trucks, to do what they do like clockwork for each and every one of us. God bless them all and I’m so glad there were no injuries.

    I passed this wreck about noon thirty yesterday as I was going hunting. Found out a short time later the driver was ok…that’s all that really matters to me. Y’all take your time on the roads and be safe…things happen like this but the driver is ok and no one else was injured.
