Wrong Way DUI Semi Driver - I70 Fatality

Really? I don't spend any more time in truck stops than necessary to fuel, shower and sometimes sleep and I can't say that I have ever seen a single sloppy drunk (other than a lot lizard), nor even a regular drunk for that matter. I would hope that if you are in fact seeing drunk drivers in truck stops that you would follow the appropriate steps if you suspect they plan on driving.

 

he was driving a freightliner, which tells me he had been with the company for a while.
they don't give new drivers fresh out of school the nice trucks like that.
The new drivers get the internationals.

 

The scuttle at USA is this driver picked up a load of beer from Golden, CO. Broke into it, retrieved a couple six's or maybe a case or two and got plastered, increasing his rage and diminishing his ability to think.

 

i was surprised how the only seal those beer loads with a regular metal seal.
not a cable seal.

they are very easy to break into.

I should prob pick up a usa lock. they SAY the terminals supply them. But i have never seen one on a trlr.

 

I think that when a driver has no lights on and is going the wrong way-the trooper would do well to prevent a serious crash or, at least lessen the chance of one by pulling out IN FRONT of such a vehicle . . .at least people would see the blue lights coming at them . . .

 

Sounds like a suicide mission... you first.
