2 tow truck drivers killed on I 90 in Montana yesterday R.I.P

The article on CDL life
Two tow truck drivers struck and killed while trying to recover vehicle from ditch

 

Article says they had warning signs out . I see stiff charges against pick up driver coming.

 

Hopefully. Idiot.

 

"Don’t try to save two minutes of time..."​

Not even that much; maybe two seconds.

​

 

Unfortunately it is not universal; in some places it is:

• Slow down
• Slow down and move over
• Slow down or move over

 

hammer down, race the clock, we dont want a log violation from Mr Werner lol

 

I tend to go with slow and move seems like the right thing to do, if you’ve been working on the truck on the roadside I think you understand.

 

Now we get taken out two at a time??
RIP Heroes, and my sincerest condolences to all family/friends.

This is getting out of control.
Slow down and move over; or what?
Unless there is a cager right next to you,
there should be stiff fines nationwide for that crap.

I see this ignored almost daily; plenty of room and time,
and they come within a foot of you going 80.
I motion/point "move over" 3-4 quick times and it's, "what??"

Is this not plastered all over; maybe it should replace some of the annoying ads (of crap I vow never to buy, JUST from your ads.)

I use flares on any interstate cause its an unmistakable signal.

And I want to salute the professionals who immediately
hit their turn signals and grab the hammer lane.
Perhaps Driver here could have headed speedy off,
and averted this tragedy; who knows. RIP, Guys.

 

Perhaps if using jake brakes throw the 4 ways on . It’s on the 4 wheeler but 4 ways maybe would’ve helped.
