    Coworker of mine bought a crotch rocket and did a weekend course for his license. Guy's an idiot. Rides around town in flip flops. I almost backed over him in the parking lot one day. Dumb ### shot behind my pickup while I was backing in to a parking space. Just lucky I hit the brakes. I'd have been really upset if he dented my bumper.

    So be it but until the investigation is complete and reported don't assume anything.

    Someone lost there life, maybe it was the bikes fault but to assume that it was with no facts is wrong.

    Besides what I heard from. The actual accident investigation and I'm the ####ing one who has to lock this trailer down that dude ran under? Imma stop right right here before @MACK E-6 and @REO6205 have to step in and ban me for this. Please share your knowledge of this accident with everyone.

    Thank you sir. I'm the one who has to find a spot and lock this mess down. Please keep the driver in your thoughts and prayers.

    I know a couple drivers who were involved in fatals. Both were 100% the fault of the deceased but the drivers still live with 'what ifs'. 20 years after the fact the one still manages to work it into almost every conversation. I hope your driver finds peace with what happened.

    It's my biggest fear.

    You know what this dude is one of the dudes that actually pre trips a truck...under that trailer with a flashlight to make sure it's locked....when's the last time y'all did that? I ##### constantly about the non drivers I work with but this guy isn't one of them! A true ####ing professional and twice the driver the nay sayers could ever wish to be. Y'all put the years in accident free and we will see how y'all respond when #### goes south on you.

    I never assumed anything. You assumed it may have been a Harley when one of the articles stated otherwise. In addition the article also stated the truck was making a left hand turn when the accident occurred.
    I feel for the driver-nobody sets out to have an accident,let alone one with a fatality involved.

    Exactly. Who was the guy that had to move trailers so they could measure out simulated skids. Who was the the guy who had to get held up at work from suits walking between trailers. Who was the guy who had to make that phone call to a co-worker knowing everything sucks? I would like to think of myself as a pretty reliable source for this one. Stay safe everyone..... please..... please stay safe. I know you can't control everything as in this case but ####.....life or lack there of changes in a instant. There is a man pulling a red box in central Florida who's life will never be the same.

    I’d certainly rather not do that.

    But folks, let’s try and keep our tempers in check, ok?

    I'm sorry @MACK E-6 you know this one hits a lil close to home for me. This and my brother in brown getting gunned down in South Florida.....I'm not in a good place as far as trucks are concerned right now. I'll keep my bull #### in check.
