Pete Driver Roasted His Brakes & His Truck Going Down Donner

This really just emphasizes the point about why those signs are posted "Trucks must use low gear" sure lots get away with it and everybody goes on with life until this happens. very sad indeed.

 

How did truck drivers drop off of Donner, The grapevine, cabbage, or Ashland before Jake brakes or cat brake savers?

 

A MEGA, as in mega carrier? Someone actually told or taught you rather to go over the limit BEFORE hitting the brake?

 

Maybe the driver was tired of paying payments and knew if this happened insurance would cover it?

 

Slowly….carefully…usually a gear Below the one we topped the hill and….and OMG
we’re mostly all here to talk about it

 

Back before the industry got overrun with steering wheel holders and clueless foreigners.

 

They tend to be "supertruckers"?

 

They don't use their brakes al all. That's how skilled they are

 

They didn't train me to speed their eldt training company did, lol.
