I never once seen the police on this highway. I cringe every time I go through there.
tucker Thanks this. -
I think they need to quit salting the roads so people learn how to drive in slick conditions or just stay home.

Swedish Chef, Lepton1, taxihacker66 and 5 others Thank this. -
FEDEX GROUND SAFE??? yep sure are it's a safe bet they end up in an accident when the snow starts flyingtow614 and freightwipper Thank this. -
Dave_in_AZ and Straight Stacks Thank this.

Guy's you need to know that anytime you see a sleeper fed ex it isnt a fed ex employee. These are employees of people who buy some trucks and lease them to fed ex.
Fed ex employees drive the day cabs. And no...I have never worked for fed ex as either a lease driver or employee. I just think fx employees get a bad rap because of lease trucks and drivers that arent fx employees and are not paid by fx. -
You need to know that hardly anyone rags on the freight guys........but, the O/O Ground guys.....OMG. I mean I've seen so many bad things that these people do.........just awful, awful stuff.......mostly involving driving too fast and tail gating
tow614, Pintlehook and HalpinUout Thank this. -
I hope @Straight Stacks is ok. I see a Prime on its side...
Straight Stacks Thanks this. -
The only curse on 78 are the dumbest ####in drivers on the planet....been runnin across there since before it was considered 78 when it was still 22--or as my older neighbors call it the "New Road".....everyone runs way too #### fast across there...packs of 15-25 vehicles of all kinds runnin ####### to elbow at 75+mph...is routine....its completely absurd....only difference w/this wreck is it is further out west from the usual spots....where the old us highway has actually been updated to full interstate spec and where it is relatively flat and straight.....bottom line is if everyone was driving w/a lick of sence it wouldn't have happened...heavy winds very recent snowfall..lots of blowin and drifitin and everyone ridin like nascar qualifyin on a sunny summer day........
