Reward...Anyone with information about the crash or who might have witnessed it is encouraged to call Tennessee Highway Patrol at 865-594-5800
This shouldn't be that hard. A truck that size would have two probable destinations and would have been recorded.
"From eye witness reports, it's a blue logging truck. An 18-wheeler...one of the big ones. It was fully loaded with the pulp wood or pine wood on it," Blake Kirkland explained.
Update: Tennessee Highway Patrol officers are looking for the driver of a logging truck who hit a car driven by James Kirkland, 65 on June 30, 2010. Kirkland died on Saturday of injuries from the crash.

Please help find this driver
My father passed away this morning from multiple injuries sustained this this wreck.
Anyone with any info please pass along, someone somewhere knows where a big blue logging truck is at, and that was traveling Hwy.61 west in front of Eleverton Church Wed. June 30 @ 1:25pm
thank you
Travis Kirkland
I would check with places
I would check with places that buy logs. Huber below Rockwood and the papermill in Calhoun would be a good place to start. Since the truck was loaded with logs he had to take them somewhere.
Are You sure it was pine and not hardwood?
He could have been headed for Tennessee Hardwood below Kingston.
Out of Business
That company is out of business the only company purchasing wood or pulp wood is located in Calhoun TN.
Traffic heading west
I was at the scene as traffic was held up do to the accident there was a red logging truck sitting in traffic.
There may have been 2-3 trucks traveling together from Anderson County , someone having land cleared and would have taken the trucks to HWY. 61 towards Harriman anyone in the area who knows of land clearing, timber being cut around the Anderson County area Oliver Springs area please get in touch with us or THP
