Gravel trucks need to slow down

Published 3:22 pm Thursday, January 17, 2008

I have been reading with interest the stories about people trying to get their windshields replaced due to damage from rocks on the freeway. I, too, have a windshield with several rock chips, but I can only blame the Rinker gravel truck that went by me way too fast, with its second box swerving from side to side, sending a spray of rocks up with each swerve. I slowed as much as I could, but the large rocks coming toward me were unavoidable.

All I can say is Rinker, please get your guys to slow down and consider the fact that maybe it is your fault sometimes.
