    I will guarantee you that some lawyer will come in and all the driver's "Ts" better be crossed and all his "Is" better be dotted. His cell phone record will be pulled, his fuel receipts will be traced, if he has Qualcomm that will be checked, and anything else that might place the truck driver at fault.

    I find how the term "professional driver" has been turned into

    only a way to blame drivers, cuz after all we're" professional drivers" and

    are next to jesus in being perfect and unable to make mistakes. Not to mention

    an easy way to have us by our balls at any given moment.

    It seems that sometimes drivers are the only professionals left in the industry.

    Of course you could ask if the truck hadn't been there, would he have hit the train?:biggrin_2556:

    Are they sure? Looks like he got stopped just in time that he didn't get decapitated! Not sure how he survived regardless. The steering wheel is against that back of the seat bottom and the dash is against the from of the seat. That's one lucky dumb#$# I'd say.
