What happens when you put a dumb ass behind the wheel of a dump truck? *PICS inside**
 

Happened yesterday at our shop. Work crew came out to repave our driveway...as soon as the pulled in and turned around, they snagged a telephone poll wire and pulled down 2 poles. Needless to say, they didn't get to pave our driveway. Total bunch of morons...

Sucks... Im assuming you have to call the electric company now to fix right?

What a bunch of idiots.

Luckily PECO was out last night fixing it. We're back up and running today. Unfortunately I lost a half day of business and had to do a couple installs in the neighbors parking lot. :(

Tell me about it!!

How do you not see a telephone pole?

Thats crazy.

joe told me about that yesterday...so retarded. good thing you're back up now!

Accidents happen all of the time. At least the driver didn't kill anyone.

I lol'd as soon as I saw the 1st picture.

lol holy crap. we have trucks go down my street and on the one corner they snag the wires all the time. luckily our power doesn't go out.

thats what happens when you get for hiring the cheapest guys you can find.

Or when electric power wire guys throw lines up at low levels.


While I agree, they should have spotted the low wires, it could have been much worse. GOod thing no body got hurt.

True dat! I've seen some pretty dumb **** on the job site.

What's worse is a operator claiming they have it under control, then 2 scoops later watching the wall collapse and a shed sink. :bigeek:

power lines being knocked over really sucks especially when it delays your business, but you should see the commotion when a dump truck tips.. that's what i thought happened when i read the thread title. it happens more often then you'd think right down the street from where i work. there's a quarry about a quarter mile away and there's a steady flow of dump trucks all day long. when making a turn at the stop light, sometimes you get some idiot driver who forgets he's got a full load and turns too sharp, too fast and flips the damn thing. it happened four times in one week about a year ago. it's quite a mess haha.

Well on a positive note your getting your ghetto driveway paved! That's good news.
