    Isn't that just amazing? Some muslim extremist with known ties to terrorist groups shouts praises to his god before shooting up a military base, and that is treated as an "incident of workplace violence" by our wonderful government.....but some pissed off trucker rams his terminal before setting the truck on fire and THAT is an "act of terrorism".:biggrin_25513:

    The only person he hurt was himself, which is a good thing. The problem is, the company probably didn't get whatever message he was trying to send.

    IF he is still alive, I wonder what Schneider is going to place on his DAC?:biggrin_2551:

    At least one preventable. Depends on whether he crashed through the gate before he hit the building.

    At that time of the morning, all the sob did was endanger the lives of the other drivers as after hours that place is, while highly secure, there is no personel on site except for the mechanics in the shop
    Also, this guy was very premeditated in doing this
    Any of you ever driven for Schneider? it takes freakin forever for them to check you in at the gate and open the arm to let you in, so if he was really unhinged seems to me he would have rammed the security gate getting in
    Of course since he didnt survive it really doesnt matter now but in my opinion he was after the most damage that he could do and wanting to hurt anyone he could just cuz someone had hurt him
