    Jeez, that's two tanked up tanker drivers in 2 days. The other crashed and burned in Utah. Guess they will be under the microscope for a while.

    HELP WANTED:Need 1 tanker driver in Dallas area IMMEDIATELY.
    Requirements:Sober and intelligent enough not to make a U-Turn on a major highway.

    WOW,what a moron.First he almost backs up over that pickup truck behind him TWICE,then he makes a U-Turn in front of oncoming traffic.

    He was probably loaded with jet fuel to boot.

    That's kind of a long video. But it's hilarious at the end where he makes the u-turn.

    All I can say is what the heck was that guy thinking?? Oh uh let me make a u-turn on a busy highway, then drive the wrong way down the highway. Hmmm can you say completer moron. I hope this guy gets his license taken away cause thinking like that could get someone killed.
