    Well if not for the bazillions of log violations constantly compiled by all the street urchins turned wanna be drivers, that were employed by the mega's, we'd not have to fool with e-logs.

    We aren't supposed to do that I run a high rail. He wouldn't have made it that far on my truck.

    The story is not accurate, says 2 semis collided-no, 1 semi ran over the other one big time!

    Indeed.

    Thankfully they both survived, along with bystanders.

    Well, we all know even day cab drivers don't get a full night's rest even with their "be home every night" gigs.

    Some nights I certainly don't.

    To a point, I can see the appeal for the OTR driver. Home is where the drama usually is. :confused:

    I am glad they made it out ok, as a car hauler I worry about this happening, have seen it twice before. I always try to keep my deck at about mid hood level, it will hurt but it won't let his happen.

    Don't know about you, but if I ever saw an ACCURATE news report, I think the shock would kill me. Journalism sure isn't what it used to be...

    He fell asleep while watching a movie on his smart phone
     
  11. Fell asleep cause he couldn't be bothered to get sleep when he was suppose.

    1. Facebook
    2. Texting girl/guy on the side
    3. Being pushed my postal contractor to "you can do a second load"

    Uggghhh
