Woman gets CDL license, proceeds to destroy 130 year old bridge in Paoli, IN

When engineers designed the iron bridge in Paoli, Indiana, they tried to account for lots of things. Unfortuantely they could not account for 23 year old Mary Lambright, a freshly minted CDL truck driver whose last name comically contains the word “bright”. You may think we’re being unnecessarily mean here but when you read the police statement below and see that she admitted to police that she saw the six ton weight limit signs and proceeded because she did not know how many pounds six tons represented you’ll understand our take a little better.
Her truck weighed more than 30 tons when she got the tractor onto the bridge and then began peeling the top of the too-tall-to-fit trailer off. Immediately thereafter the whole structure gave way and a bridge that was one of the last historical markers in the town of Paoli, a bridge that had been standing for more than 130 years, was reduced to scrap.

Hard to blame her when she clearly didn't know the truck's weight.
There should be an app for that.

If it weren't for the destruction of a 100+ year old bridge, that would be pretty funny.
Women drivers, amirite?

That truck is no bigger than a size 8. Everyone knows not to ask a woman what she weighs.

Good lord.

When you.... can drive a truck, you got a job my friend!

Y'all should be ashamed. Fat shaming a semi truck.

I reckon she didn't graduate from

Seriously is that not one of the catchiest low-budget jingles you've ever heard? Every time I hear the relief windows ads on 104.5 I want to stab myself in the ear and I wonder why someone can't get a better 15 second jingle like DDA.

Untangling the truck from the bridge may take a while.

That's easily the best jingle ever written.
All you lurkers and posters know damn well when you read that number you read it just like this.
"One eight hundred,
Five five one,
Eight nine hundred!
DIESEL DRIVING ACADEMY!!!!

She tried to calculate tonnage using common core math and arrived at the answer halfway across
