So...

It fucked up a shit ton of personal vehicles, some the owners likely aren't aware of yet, but they haven't even ticketed the trucking company let alone making them try to fix the damages they caused?

Think about what it’s doing to the ground, too. I bet a bunch of small creatures died in absolute agony

Considering it happened a couple days ago, and that the trucking company's insurance will cover any personal damages as well as any fees assessed by the county for cleanup, I imagine it'll get resolved with money.

Compared to the train derailment in East Palestine Ohio, where jack shit was done to help the environment or the locals affected, these drivers will get off easy. The trucking company will get off too, and the company's premiums will go up a bit as a result. The real winners? Insurance company lawyers
