    You just post CDLlife links? You know we are fully capable of going read them if we want to, right? We don't need you to fill the forum up with threads that simply mirror the home page of CDL life.

    You don’t have to read it. That choice is left up to you.

    Its not any worse than most of the threads on here. Like, Best flip flop for otr (non volvo) or best shampoo for regional drivers... I rarely pull up cdl life, unless a link from here sounds interesting.

    it’s amazing how so many people are literally offended and triggered by certain things that are posted… There’s people in society that really need to seek help

    I like seeing this stuff when I have the time to get on here and see it.

    Edit: I just read the story and hope the driver of the car was dead on impact. If not his last moments being dragged must have been horrifying.

    Driver was a 19 year old kid. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

    How do you NOT feel an impact significant enough for the other vehicle to get stuck to you? Let alone the feeling of dragging an extra ton or so... I felt it when I ran over a turtle a couple months ago.

    Photo shows a couple of US Foods tractors. Driver may have been pulling doubles so it’s possible he may not have felt it. Rear trailer absorbed the impact but the front trailer and the tractor probably didn’t even flinch.
