    Plenty of faults captured in that video...........

    Bob tail in the middle lane is problematic... he may have done nothing wrong, but.......

    Car that got smacked: Looks like he got around the bobtail pulled in front then slowed down (notice how the red car that stays in the right lane is even with the passing trucks trailer tires the whole time and starts catching up at the last few seconds). Almost as if thecrashed car was trying to stay in the passing trucks blind spot. If the car had maintained speed he would most likely have been fine.

    Truck: should have seen the car passing the bobtail and kept better track of the car. Maybe he should get an aero nose put on that thing when he gets it fixed so he can see traffic around him.

    Lions share of responsibility is the passing truck to my eyes from those videos.

    I'm the same way with a bunch of refrigeration tools now that I'm on the service side instead of install, I have a shelved 6'x8' tool trailer full of tools that rarely touched now along with stuff in a storage unit. It's been kinda nice only carrying around a bag most of the time now.

    Well.
    We have arrived at yard, turned off ole Red.
    Seen a Penske box truck, pulling a car trailer with a Jeep on it, misjudge a curve on 13 N of Collins Mo, and layed down on RHS, scattering all their belongings, and wiping out an F450 with flatbed work truck on drivers side, scattering tool boxes and a big welder.
    10 mike backup.

    Then..
    Ran through a tain storm in West plains, loaded with soybean meal, but parked with 42 minutes to spare, Monday unload 75 miles away.
