The construction trucker’s nightmare

A heavy-duty soil hauler tipped on its side in south Ottawa last Wednesday, creating a heavy-duty mess.

Before several heavy tow trucks could even begin set the cab and trailer upright, the contractor needed to call for a front end loader and extra dump trucks to haul the soil away. Police were on the scene to direct the traffic.
