For those who are unaware of this unfortunate event, Corey Hart passed away early morning Wednesday March 12, 2014 after being involved in a tragic accident while on duty as a local intermodal driver in Atlanta.  The investigation is still underway, but the preliminary report indicates another tractor trailer lost control and jackknifed while merging onto I85 north off of I285 West (spaghetti junction).  Corey was traveling northbound on I85 and stuck the other vehicle’s trailer as it jackknifed (perpendicular) across I85.   Corey had little time to react as the jackknife happened directly in front of him. 

Corey was a valued member of our team that everyone in Atlanta called a true friend.  Our hearts hurt for Corey’s young son, Corey Jr., who frequented the office many times throughout the past two years alongside his father.   Corey’s upbeat manner and his commitment to being a loving family man rubbed off on those who were around him.  Corey will truly be missed here in Atlanta and in New Jersey where he previously worked as a local intermodal driver for J.B. Hunt. 

Please keep Corey and his family in your thoughts and prayers through this tough time.
