    The 1st exit north of hwy 60 is hwy 574. Lessors has a terminal on 574 and their colors are white trailers with grey and black lettering. Could have been a Lessors truck that had entered 75 northbound @ 574 that wasn't up to speed yet. They're reefer and usually heavy. That's my guess.
    Could also have been a northbound Lessors truck slowing down to take the 574 exit heading to the terminal.

  3. It's a guess from the officer on scene, from debris on her car they are guessing.

    OK, I've got a little different perspective on this. Not about folks playing judge and jury, but about posts regarding accidents.
    First off, I'm sure there is a little bit to learn from each and every accident that we learn about. Even if we are life long truckers, we can still learn something.
    And I have no problem with a driver being taken to task if they have done something stupid and caused an accident. But I do agree that the media almost always likes to portray truckers in the worst possible light.

    OR.......

    It could have been any other of the approximately 5 katrillion trucks of that color or similar, that may or may not have a terminal, drop yard, or receiver nearby, and may or may not have just been getting up to speed, or slowing down, or picking a booger, or eating a big mac, or filling a pee bottle, or........

    Says the driver was out of Nashville. Someone still has an agenda.
