    I saw this in NOR this past Thursday. We ALL need to pay attention to what we are doing every second we are out on the road!

    Holy Buckets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck did he hit..Drivers don't value the industry and the equipment like they should.Even tough the DOT has certain hrs when safety starts and stops,safety starts with me the very second I step into the trk and doesn't end till im parked and home.

    Except that last hour when you're contemplating where you're going to set the brakes for your 14. IIRC, your idea of a trip plan consists of mashing the loud pedal until you run out of hours.

    Well I do hope that he was ok after this. Trucks can be replaced your life cannot.

    This was the one of jungle drums friends from trucking school. He was in the sleeper and I think his trainer was texting and side swiped a ups truck on the shoulder.
