You know, the headlines make it really bad, but 4 tickets in 14 years.....come on
Lepton1, kemosabi49 and 25(2)+2 Thank this. -
He was the one that crossed the median. All of them through there are maniacs. Lot of tourist traffic through there so a lot of different driving habits, folks looking for exits, yelling at kids..........
And the locals just swap lanes like nascar drafting at 'Dega, tail gate, constant stream of bs going out on the phone and CB......
Yeah I dont miss one #### thing about running 75 everyday
Dont imagine it has gotten any better in the decade since I have been gone

Dont see a number. And there are 5 different states listed. That record would preclude you from any reputable company.

Due to that fire we may never know.

Really? What if they were all in the first 4 years? Meaning he hasn't done anything wrong in the last 10. Meaning he could hire on anywhere.
People are so quick to judge with limited information.Lepton1, mustang190 and drvrtech77 Thank this. -
Last one would likely be in 2014 the last year listed. If it was speeding in 2014 he could not apply here. Well speeding, unsafe equipment would definitely do it. Pretty sure the overweight would as well.
You say it is four tickets. Given five locations and four types of violations it could be 20 tickets. All I know is one in the last 5 should mean you ride a bicycle for a living IMHO.buddyd157 Thanks this. -
The mail truck wasn't the truck that crossed the median from what it looks like. The pictures I saw had it sitting sorta on the shoulder facing the right direction with the other truck sitting sideways. And one truck driver was from South FL (probably the mail truck) and the other was from Albuquerque.
The death toll could have been much worse, 5 kids in the van were killed, and 7 others injured.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Incorrect. The broadside American Eagle is the one that was travelling north bound when he hit a vehicle and pushed both into oncoming south bound lanes where the Wiley Sanders and the van full of kids were struck and pushed into the number 3 and shoulder lanes on the south bound side.
According to FHP recreation analysts.
