UPS calls it a terrible tragedy- A company manager is dead after the truck he
was driving crashed in Tennessee.
The manager was filling in as a driver, when the tractor trailer ran off an

The cargo compartment split open- scattering boxes across the road.
Since the beginning of the strike, managers have been forced to drive
trucks.
