Someone needs to pay the 83k
Stupid didnt make sure the fifth wheel pin was latched before leaving the yard.
We need to be more kind to one another. People make mistakes.
that mistake could have had serious consequences had the container fell and a vehicle next to it.
I hope they didn’t spill the cocaine!
BIG SHAW LIKE YAH STRESSED OUT
Keep the 40 ft. containers in the Port Purcell and nearby Pasea area until all the dilapidated paved roads on Tortola are repaired by the ‘unity’ government. Let the 20 ft. containers roam around Tortola for now.
Its the size and weight of these lorries and the trucks that keep the roads with potholes. The trucking business should be charged more to help pay for the upkeep and repairs to the roads.
