    It's because too many drivers just flat out drive too fast for conditions...from what I'm seeing it sure looks like it's more the big trucks than 4 wheelers anymore..slow the heck down folks....this is what can happen in inclimate weather when following to close

    Wow.. Probably the result of too fast for conditions and little following distance, as always...

    I am just flabbergasted..
    every dang day I have these drivers passing me that can't hold lanes, can't be professionals and later up the road there I see them in a pile.

    This industry needs to change. Oops, it did, for the worse.

    It's things like this that make me glad I have a slow truck and I never in a hurry. I don't get to run with the pack. And it's a good thing.

    Keep these super truckers away from me.

    The ones that run in a pack are typically the megas and are typically the ones piled up. When one goes, they all go.

    Well, I don't so much worry about the weather as much as I worry about the driver next to me screwing up

    When the weather gets this bad, its best to find a safe place to park the truck !! Late freight is Better than NO freight !! (cost of truck & trailer , insurance claims , tickets , drug test , somebody's life , is the freight really paying enough money ??

    One thing I've noticed over and over again is how trucks and four wheelers run in packs in the bad weather. Boggles my mind and scares the #### out of me
