    Typical media . Shuttle driver doesn't see an 18 wheeler in broad daylight and the reporter runs the DOT numbers of the trucking company .

    Always blame the truck dontcha know. Big time Lefties hate big trucks. They would like to ban them from many places. But they don't understand. If you are wearing it, using it, writing with it, eating it... basically if you have it a big truck had something to do with getting it to you.

    And the news is mostly in the bag for those Big Time Lefties.......

    OH! And I spend an AWFUL amount of time at the Air Terminals at IAH and see a LOT of trucking. Sometimes the big trucks just have to do certain things.

    I'm wondering why the driver was by the airport anyway. There aren't any businesses back there to pickup or deliver to. He probably got lost trying to get to the Forest Park Terminal. The terminal is only several miles from the crash. Thats probably why he was making a U-Turn. Lol, #### GPS!

    If the driver is a moron for making a U-Turn then thats makes all of us morons. I know I have made my share of u-turns knowing full well that it is not legal to do so and I am sure all of you have as well. I am also a driver for USA truck and have a perfect safety record. Even though this driver made a u-turn it does not make him responsible for the other driver crashing into him. I think the driver will probably just get a citation for the u-turn and nothing more.
