Was the 20 year old bobtailing or pulling an empty trailer? Either way,looks like he let the truck get away from him!

i have been DEADSET AGAINST, ANYONE under the age of 25 driving tractor-trailers, now you see why?

the immaturity of the many young ones.

but what gets my goat, is that the story ID'd the tractor-trailer as a Freightliner...

why did they NOT ID the milk truck brand..??

this is NOT the first time, where i have specifically read, where the news ID's the Freightliner...

so, "tractor-trailer" does not suffice..????

I started driving trailer truck when I was 21 and turned out alright. As for the Oakhurst truck, it was a freightliner, its the only brand they run.

16yr-21yr is your most reckless years, that’s a fact. Your testosterone is high, your adrenal glands is still not screwed up from years of caffeine, cocaine and meth abuse. So my 18yr old mind would say something like “I THINK I CAN DO 90mph ON THIS CURVE BECAUSE I FEEL INVINCIBLE”.

Now I’m like, curve? Better downshift and take it slow...

Now a lot of you guys will get jealous when the day comes. The day will come when you meet a 20yr old owner operator, drives a long nose Pete and has a chrome spread axle trailer. The first thing that comes in your mind is pffft, he’s a company driver or he’s doing lease purchase. But no, he flashes that “clear title” in front of you. “Yo, it’s all paid off bro”.....

my feelings will be hurt....

I wonder how did the load weigh. As for the the Oakhurst truck,it must’ve been an M2 series.
