The driver was quoted as saying "Forget sleeping, money talks.". Was that bail money he was referring to?

He should ask the Walmart driver involved in the Tracy Morgan accident how that worked out for him. Idiots, one born every minute.

Yeah, he gets the "Idiot of the Week!" Award. And if he was telling the truth probably at least one hell of a fine.

UPDATE:

Saddle Creek Logistics in Lakeland positively confirmed through video surveillance that truck driver Kerry Cuthbert checked into their facility at 9:14 a.m. Tuesday and left the guard shack at 11:50 a.m.

According to the company Cuthbert drives for, International Logistics Group in Chicago, he was supposed to be in Valdosta, Georgia at the time.

It's fair game.

UPDATE 2:

The owner of International Logistics Group told ABC Action News that Cuthbert has been suspended while they investigate his driving. They maintain he did not break the law and say they are proud of their clean safety record.

Yeah, really you never could if someone who had any power in your life wanted to dig for dirt. Pretty common for employers to look at your fb page, which is yet another reason not to have one.
