    Main point is more like...He was in the left lane, traveling too fast, too close for the weather conditions. Happens too many times now-a-days in the winter. Can you now say...PREVENTABLE. I might not kno TMC's policies, but if it were my driver..."Good-Bye". Should have thought "Safety First". Be safe out there drivers.

    Yesterday I took a close look at a flatbed loaded with railroad car axles while parked at a truck stop. They were secured against side to side movement with a 2X4 running from nose to tail on each side, nailed to 6 1' long pieces of 2X4 that were in turn nailed to the wood strips in the deck with 2 16 penny nails each. there were two chains and one strap on the front and back axles, and one chain looped up and over every 3 axles. If he hit anything, it's likely that half if not more of them would have left the trailer.
