Georgia: Report on Truck Rollovers

The tanker truck that rolled over in Lincoln on Tuesday is owned by Trans-Spec Truck Service, a company well-known by Massachusetts officials who handle trucks and truck inspections.

Massachusetts State Police are "concerned" about this operation. State Police reportedly are now "evaluating what additional measures may be necessary to correct the company's problems."

Law enforcement sources told 7NEWS that inspectors have stopped Trans-Spec trucks in New England more than 90 times in the past 24 months, and 37 percent of the stops resulted in trucks placed out of service.

According to inspectors, one out of three Trans-Spec trucks were taken off the roadway for being "imminently dangerous."
