    I believe that International and Freightliner were the only ones to have a flat floor

    I am really out of the loop on pop culture so I had no idea who that was until you posted about the crash.

    A couple of comments about the "car" it looks like an f-104 with wheels on the back. The BATF had a hard on about civilian airplanes with ejection seats for a long time but, I think that has calmed down. Anyway, that airplane had a zero zero ejection seat that allows the pilot/driver? To eject at down to zero speed and zero altitude. I don't suppose they had a hot seat and, with the much more than 10-15 degrees of roll the seat may not have worked correctly. I know in boat racing they are using ejection pods, land speed cars seem like a good fit for this technology as well.

    It’s not him. There’s another driver who, a few months ago started a thread bashing owner operators, in particular cattle haulers. I didn’t respond to him. However, there was on of his cronies who a week before made the statement about how he doesn’t watch his mirrors in traffic because he was taught that he is only liable for what’s in front of them. But yet, in this post, they are complaining about cow trucks ride 5feet off the rear bumper.

    If you don’t use your mirrors, why do you care if anyone tailgates you?

    Well, this genius driver had another driver knock on his truck to switch loads (genius won’t answer his phone off duty), and not only would genius not look out the sleeper, he called the cops.

    Cowards deserve to die. And no one misses them when they do die.
