Prime Company Tanker Driver

Agree any truck can jackknife due to driver error, or if the brake valve ( can't remember the official name) is faulty and only sends air to one side. My point is these videos prove nothing other than showing that tankers can indeed wreck.

 

My point is these videos prove nothing other than showing that tankers can indeed wreck. But they will not jack knife because of surge.

Fixed it for ya. Ha

 

Not Tuesday either so you're real gross for that week was 700 and some change

 

According to ethos, we don't know the condition of his brakes or when the driver last took a dump. So the slosh could not have been the problem. It was aliens.

 

Are you serious right now? According to ethos? Do you know the condition of the brakes? Do you even know if the trailer was loaded?

Look you're the guy who advocated laying on the horn and safely running a red light. Love the safely part and now you want to come at me like I'm ridiculous?

 

I'm not saying, if that lights been red for awhile to keep pushing. But if you come up on it as a green and it turns yellow dont try to be safe and stop if you can't do it without wrecking.

There's way to many factors to play into that red light scenario and if you haven't experienced it, then its really hard to put it into text.

If that light has is stale then you should already be gearing down and preparing to stop anyway. But for the instance of a quick green.... And the closeness you are to the light, the condition of your brakes and when you last went potty. You make the call. Just be safer than safe when doing it.

 

Right but how do you know the trailers were loaded in the videos? If loaded how do you know surge caused the wreck? See, you want to poke at me but how do you know it was surge? If it was surge then how do vans jackknife, how do empty trailers?

 

Because if I say it was surge, then I'm right and my post was right.

If I agree with you then I'm wrong....

So naturally as a human I choose.....
