Twister Throws Truck off Kilter Posted by DC Cargo Mall on May 21, 2013

A rough count of at least 91 people were found lifeless, following this Monday's disaster. The twister spun roofs off of homes, schools crushed to slithers, trees yanked off of their sockets, debris and tossed about haphazard piles of vehicles lay stranded; some, even miles away from their previous location.

MSNBC reports this siting of a toppled truck up on the highway near Shawnee, OK. The truck lay on its side, its former contents in a spilled mess sprawling the ground below. The truck appears to be on the verge of still tipping over the bridge, not quite balancing in its already fallen position. Reports show this truck catastrophe is only a raindrop in the sea of disarray that the deadly twister has caused.

Natural disasters is one of the unpreventable causes of trucker fatalities, but every precaution must be taken to sometimes NOT brave the weather conditions, or if slightly weather -permitting, to at least ensure safe securement of loads with proper strap count and double checking the vehicles functions before heading out.

On DCCargoMall.com, Rules and Regulations are discussed in length, and now more than ever would be an opportune time for brushing up on the basics.

In the wake of the Oklahoma Tornado tragedy, DCcargomall extends its heartfelt and prayerful wishes to all those affected.
