    I have a question which will seen as stereotyping,but,oh well.Why is it,more often than not,do most accidents and or mishaps seem to involve refer trailers? And is there a website that tracks statistics such as that?

    i have seen/saw a report on % of accidents and yes it seemed iirc that reefers were in more high speed accidents because of the time restrictions on the load
    in the posted accident you can tell it wasnt bo or luke duke driving---they would have made it----maybe it was evel knievel driving

    According to local TV reports both occupants of the truck made it out safely--sure looks like a miracle if they did--still looking for link

    so because a trailer matches a tractor that classifies them as a "super trucker"?...... im a little lost here....
