    Its just sad we had to lose one of our drivers because of stupidity on someone elses part. Please keep his family in your prayers, he was a good person and will be missed by many.

    That tells ya how they probably died.

    I wonder if Czech Amero-trucker hopefuls get this kind of news over there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if our federal gov't. pays for these guys to go through CDL mills.

    I bet he was wearing flip-flops with white socks, counterfeit Nike sports pants and a dirty t-shirt.

    Ok i might have missed something but was it dark and everyone have their lights off. If traffic is stopped and you need someone on a cb to tell you in order for you to stop on time please dont travel on the same highways my family friends or anyone that I could be friends with
