8 Semi chain reaction crash I-70 Indiana

you don't suppose a contributing factor is tailgating, do you?

 

Pretty easy to tell the cause...................................

weather related !!!!!!

 

truckers going too fast? too close together? speeding in a construction zone?
ya think?

 

Nah, never happens

 

What? Trained (CDL mill) professionals (a couple o' days of orientation and into the truck) speeding and tailgaiting?

Nah...

 

I have noticed more and more truck drivers within the past couple of years that are getting more and more dangerous. The professional driver has become a rare breed.

 

I agree lot of drivers have no respect,they complain about the four wheelers and there just as bad

 

Its a race track approaching the choke point in there. EVERYONE is trying to outdo the next guy in getting to the front of the line. If you slow down to the construction zone speed limit at the point they have the "55 MPH" sign, there will be 10 semis trying to get in front of you in the hammer lane.

These guys are going way too fast when then enter the single lane - and then it goes into a right turn in the forest there that obscures your sight of what's ahead. So there is little to wonder about in terms of "why" or "how" this happened.

So I guess that seven of the eight of those truck drivers found out about what's "at the front" of the line in a bad way...

 

simply because the new breed of driver IS a 4 wheeler in a big truck
