I 57 at the northbound Post Oak rest area south of Salem Illinois. Semi trailer load of frozen broccoli on its side. Wanna give a shout out to Richard and I 70 Towing for the referral and Jeremy Shroyer Trucking for giving us a hand . it took a little longer because we hand unloaded the whole load to keep from destroying the trailer. It was a win-win..

There was an accident at the 98 mile marker on I-57 southbound near Mt Vernon Illinois where a car lost control, went through the ditch, and a semi-truck narrowly avoided collision with the car by swerving went over the guardrail down the ditch and into the trees. Both drivers were confirmed to be okay and the interstate is now open.

If you’re headed north on I 57 today we are at the 88 mile marker northbound with a truck that has went through the trees over the top of a box culvert and creek with the tractor and the trailer is against the box culvert wall. No injuries.  There is a right lane closure due to no shoulder where we are at.

Thursday we had a Semi truck stuck on the railroad tracks. The Railroad temporarily shut down the rail and we got him off the tracks and on his way to deliver his load.

So early this morning around 7 am we started out with this truck and trailer in the ditch with a skid steer on its side. There was no damage to the skid steer due to the ditchbank being very soft mud so we ended up lifting skid steer out of the ditch, put it on the road then had to tow the trailer because both axles were badly damaged. The driver was OK and the customer drove his truck away. The skid steer ended up with no damage, just a little bit of mud in the windows.
