Funny Freight Friday: Same thing.
The market’s brutal, sure, but for freight agents with the right tools, it’s prime hunting season. Here’s how they’re making it work.
The body of Christopher Scott, the driver whose truck went over the side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, was successfully recovered on Friday.
Officials confirmed on Friday that the body of a driver, whose tractor-trailer truck went over the side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, was recovered. The truck, owned by Keep It Moving 22, LLC, went overboard on the northbound bridge on Thursday afternoon.
The driver was identified as 36-year-old Christopher Scott from Henrico County, Virginia. Scott's body and the truck were both successfully recovered by a salvage crew on Friday afternoon. Scott, a father of three, tragically had a child born just hours after the crash.
The incident, marking at least the sixth such in recent years, is still under investigation.
