    Not disagreeing, but knowing and caring are 2 different things
    That would be a waste of a wall. I say hang 95% of them and start over

    .....Ive had drivers with 10+ yrs experience in Ontario and I still wouldn’t even send them to Lancaster, PA alone. I always went along with them on another load and we only delivered the last mile separately. I have too much too lose and these companies we’re talking about here have nothing to lose. That’s the problem

    Agreed, except the result won't be more stringent conditions for new drivers, instead they will use this kind of thing for speed limiters, less hours, etc.

    I know... but it was "supposed" to have been 2 40' crates, then they added 2 49' crates.

    So had to break out the third tarp, and dink with the back end for 20 minutes.

    I know... boo hoo, cry us a river. Not really anything to complain about, they did pay $250 for tarps so so the effort was worth it.

    Anyone consider this as a terror attack ?
    I couldn't see well on my phone; were there brake lights on the trailer when it crowded that pickup?

    I think they said there was no evidence of that.

    I didn’t see brake lights either but if he didn’t have any, there wouldn’t be much point.

    Ok, just curious. From what I could see there wasn't smoke boiling out either, and no fire when it went passed that fella right before the crash. Seems odd.
