    Vail beats another one. Wonder what the road condition was? Looks "mostly wet". That type of "wet" can makes brakes seem non-existent if you don't have need to use them often (not very heavy) then decide you need them all of the sudden. But, a lot of other possibilities on that grade this time of year.

    He was WB, if you look at the one pic, I think he probably hooked the snow/ice with the right steer, jackknifed and flipped when the trailer hit the divider.

    Can you imagine working in their safety department?! I bet for some of them they don't even open their mouth from shock anymore. Lol

    Hope all involved were OK. Doesn't look like a fun ride.

    So you presume to know all there is to know about 18,000 plus drivers , some of whom have been driving since your grandmother was a teenager , based on nothing more than the name on the rig ? Incredible .

    I feel sorry for the driver regardless the company who's not only out of a job , but done with a trucking career due to a rollover .
     
    Kindle and ShortBusKid Thank this.

    Could have been a lot worse considering its blocking all the lanes and there is nowhere to go. Glad to see a truck stopped behind the accident and not plowed into it.
