Equipment truck in an accident

[AdoptedVOL]

Funny I was thinking about the equipment truck a couple days ago as folks were posting videos of players boarding the plan. Got me to wondering about how all the equipment gets moved (uniforms, sideline equipment. comms, etc). My original thought was coolers on the side lines for the hot game.

It would be a good topic for a video. I found an old one from Dooley’s days. Maybe it’s time for an update.

Yeah would be a good video for sure. Not sure if they are teamsters that we are hiring but those fellas do a lot of unheralded great work for ball teams around the country

Hope everyone involved is safe and sound, completely injury-free.

Beyond that, you don't suppose the driver thought he was flying a plane, then gravity assured him that wasn't the case, do you?

My guess would be a crew of 2 DOT licensed drivers who are employees of the State followed by a van of roadees (Equipment Manager and student employees). Wild guess. If I’m wrong VN will be sure to correct me as always.

Probably gonna be out for a while. Even the trailer is f'ed up. The good news is that trucks and trailers are probably available for rent (I guess).

Next truck up

Would you give your all for Tennessee and paint it?

Heupel just advised in a press conference that both the tractor & trailer have lower extremity injuries, and are Questionable for the Arkansas trip & game.

Austin Price reported that the repairs are minor, and the tractor & trailer could travel later this week if they were needed.

I used to know the guy that hauled the equipment.He was just an employee of the company that had a contract.He would take his wife to nearby games but games like Oklahoma /Oregon he had to have a co-driver for DOT regulations

My wife works for Roane transportation as a dispatcher. What happened is a car came over into their lane and put him into the wall.

Lance Heard has been MIA so long he will now take a 2 week course as a trainee with a brand new CDL as a co-driver so he can make the trip to Arkansas.From left tackle to 5 star trucker
