Think back, when he finally did return to Maine he neglected to bring his truck and trailer as directed by the state police and the attorney general. Typical mass hole cut and runreport abuse

I remember seeing a car hit the back of a new car carrier causing an accident and severe damage to both vehicle on the car carrier and the vehicle hitting it. The truck driver had no knowledge of it until he hit the toll booth in York county and the state police stopped him. Truck drivers are blind to the very back of the trailer and because of normal shifting noise and movement, they don't often know when they lose part of their load. It is not uncommon at all and is believable that he would not know, especially at night. I think that he proved he was not intending to run off by turning himself in. This is a waste of money because I doubt he will be found guilty.report abuse

I find it really hard to believe this guy thought he did not cause the accident, of course he didn;t say anything, he was trying to keep himself out of trouble...maybe he would have looked a lot less guilty of he had actually said something at the scene of the accident when he returned, its nice to know that he has such little regard fro human life but cares so much about his wood.report abuse
