    if you saw the tow truck i doubt very much he has a cdl but of course the media has to raise the bar on killer truckdrivers

    its a rollback wrecker and too small to be needing air brakes so calling the driver a "trucker" is simply sensationalizing the news

    I drove a truck like that for years and never needed a cdl. It's no different than a uhaul.

    Now a days they can track your call to the exact minute you had your accident. So even if you said you were not talking on the phone, they still can find out..
