Attention UShip Viewers wanting to haul 4-5 cars behind your 1-ton--- START HERE!!!!

Most of those 3/4 & 1-tons can out-stop a semi. Of course that does no good when you're asleep/texting...

 

Jesus... Makes you wonder why they don't put a stop to that crap. After all, they regulate everything else in this industry, right down to how long it should take me to piss!

 

I don't know about that.

 

Believe you have completely missed the point & where does it say the driver was texting or sleeping? He could have been drinking a tall glass of Kool aid, but since there was no mention of that, will leave it for speculation. Or maybe it could have been slick roads when traffic came to a halt for another accident? Maybe...

 

I dont know what other regulations would have prevented that. It looks like driver error to me, maybe going to fast for the icy road conditions and the vehicles obviously werent properly secured.

 

may god bless his soul,we r humans and humans make mistakes.i just hope i die in my bed not crashed in the cab of my truck

 

I wonder about these guys that want to be half truckers, want to haul a couple cars but don't want to get a CDL. Those trucks are just as long, you make less money on three cars then six or seven ( I would guess ), and after driving pickups pulling heavy boat and equipment trailers I know I'd rather be in a semi with air brakes then one of those set ups. I'm also guessing that fifty five thousand dollar dually isn't going to last a quarter of the miles a real truck will. Eventually one of these things will hit a schoolbus or have some other horrible accident that gets national attention and they will get the long foot of the government up there tails. I say, why half ### it, be a real trucker, not a wannabe.

I bet no ones ever unloaded a wedge that quick.

Stuff like this scares the crap out of me.

 

Where to even start..not everyone drives for uship. My Dad pulled a wedge for over ten years after retiring from Preston in 97. Don't think he was a half trucker. He was leased on with a company out of Indiana also. Don't be so quick to judge, remember a person lost his life in a accident. They are called accidents for a reason. Full truckers have them everyday. Everybody has the right to do whatever job they want. Hard to say what happened to this "half-driver", but its sad. Just glad nobody else was killed in the crash. We as professionals shouldn't be so quick to put labels on people or jump on the bashing bandwagon that happens way to often on here. Just remember, could be anybody in that situation on any givin day, not just half truckers....just sayin. And the school bus remark?
