    I know that truck very well. It had no business on the roads, it was junk. Same mechanic that works on my truck worked on it, and I saw it nearly every day. These log haulers around here haul for about 3.50 a loaded mile ( no fuel adjustment ), which is only 1 way.You cannot keep a truck up at that price.


    Also, the female passenger was naked.

    Let's hope all of those kids are ok. And this "driver" never drives again.

    Didn't something like this happen in the same area about 10 years ago? Major truckload carrier allowing their driver to drive well beyond hos. Rearended a school bus then and killed several kids as I recall. What ever happened to that driver?

    THe guy involved in today's semi versus bus crash needs to spend at least that in prison even if no one dies! He obviously has no respect for the position he holds!
     
    Marksteven Thanks this.
