ATLANTA — A tow truck driver in Georgia has been cited for hauling a big rig with a reefer trailer attached without a valid CDL and no medical card.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Sept. 22, the Georgia Department of Public Safety wrote: “This is how to get our attention … come into the weigh station 35,860 pounds overweight, with the driver of the vehicle being towed still in the driver’s seat headed to another state. During the inspection, MCO3 Sturdivan (Region A) discovered the driver of the tow truck had a non-commercial drivers license and had been cited twice for no medical card. Come on, people! #gamccd”
