Dump trucks spilling rock and speeding on Highway 70

Got complaints in the area of the rock quarry on 70 in Bethel Ridge. Caller says there's numerous dump trucks that's going to and from the rock quarry. He said they are loading the trucks wrong. Some of them are tarped, but he said they're loading the trucks wrong and rock is spilling all over the roadway. Said they're also speeding in the area. He said he called 911 yesterday due to the large amount of rock that was all over the roadway, and I guess the highway department responded and cleaned that up. He said the sheriff's department has talked to some of the drivers in that area, but he said they've still not had any luck with anybody slowing down or not being gravel on the road.
