Im guessing It starts with a P...and ends with an... er.  Hope the operator is ok.

Why not say the company name I don't think they are a Sponsor and there are only two companys down here in the south that start with a P & and end with a er, and they are owned by the one in Atlanta.

 The only reason anyone should even want to know whos company was involved should be out of concern for another Brother. If I'm not mistaken Brother bullfrog works for them. (I think) The company was Pioneer and I dont wanna hear one word of smak talk, Please?

 Man I hope no one was hurt! What a hard week, only one more day to go. Hope everyone has a safe and easy Friday!

Wow...just saw it on channel 2 news this morning, the lafarge trucks were backed up paired, smoked the tires of one I could plainly see and news person said it blew the shoes off one driver and sent them to Grady with some nasty burns. I remember being foolish enough to boom over powerlines once.....ONCE! I hope the ready mix driver will recover ok. Looked for a story on the 3 major news channels websites but dont see anything obvious.

The operator that it happened to is a seasoned op. Goes to show u it can happen to anyone. I hope everyone pulls thru this. We all know what company it was. I will not name it, out of respect for all involved.

Electrocution is soooo awful!  The burns that are visible imediately aren't the bad ones.  It's the ones that start to surface after a day or so...being cooked ain't cool...
