    I pulled into the Loves in Greenwood shortly after this wreck and saw a mass of blue and red lights up ahead in the eastbound side... I didn't know exactly what was up but I knew it couldn't be good. My condolences to the folks in the Jaguar and their families.

    Another mark against the industry and more so against the drivers.Wonder what this trucker was doing and how fast he was going that he couldn't stop in time.My most deepest and sincerest apologies goes out to the family and friends of the deceased and also the passenger.

    They really do like to make a point that it was a jaguar.

    Thoughts and prayers to all...
    We really dont know much of the details.... I know when I am in traffic there are always cars cutting inbetween me and the truck in front od me... which I just dont get.. why would a car want to be between two trucks..that is the most dangerous place for them to be.. but they do.. and when ever you back off to leave room another jumps in..

    We dont know all the facts yet.. could be a combination of things and poor judgment on both drivers..

    My guess would be he cant drive the truck without smokes, got to have one lit at all times. Some of you who do have no clue how bad it really is.

    This will Never Get Better..........

    When we keep Putting inexperienced Warm Bodies in a Truck with the mindset of "Im Really Not Sure I even want to do this"

    Couple that up with a Cell-Phone, Texting Abilities and a non-Trucking Attitude...

    Its a recipe for Disaster Everyday!!




    Folks....If You people really dont want to drive a truck,Please DONT, You Have to be in it 110% With a Focus on Safety and professionalism....No Maybe's, No "Im Gonna try this" ..

    You Folks are Killing People and Making Others in this industry Look Bad.


    Yes..The Maga-Carriers and Their mill schools are a Huge Player in this Debotchery.



    Again Folks.......If Your Not Suire You Want to be a Truck Driver......Please look For another Career.
