    even tho i am a grain hauler and have yet to drive a rig out of the state of iowa i agree with you 1,000,000,000 % that 4 wheelers need to learn how to drive around us when i am in my 4 wheeler i give big rigs wide berth and i made a promise to my self that if i ever have a exp like yours then it will be time for me to get off the road and think about if it is worth it to keep going
    just like you did in the vid

    thanks, there is a fellow company driver who is not only my bud but has over 3million safe miles was talking to me for the next hour after that and amazed at how i reacted. we have a way newer guy who hit a deer and just kept driving for 30miles more before he was like oh maybe i should see how bad the rig is... DOT would have shut him down right then and there he was lucky the radiator was fine. still amazed some one that dense drives for us.

    Sorry, I didn't watch the video, but I was involved in a fatal accident in 1993, so I kinda know what you are going through.

    Thanks for your message to the 4 wheeler!
    We see it everyday; people driving reading the newspaper, texting, got the cell phone to the ear and talking; zigging from the hammer lane to an exit ramp in front of a big rig; cut off a semi-truck, then slam on their brakes; (jeez!) just to name a few of the not-so-smart moves on the road by 4-wheelers.
