    So, not only do you know why the guy killed himself but you also know my "situation" now. Hmmm. If that pumps your ego and makes you feel superior then have at it. As I've said all along nobody here knows the true reason he killed himself...that includes you, no matter how much you want to cut and paste info from psych books. You have a feeling why he did what he did but you don't really know the facts.

    You might want to Google "sensitive ego" to better understand your situation.

    Think about how many don't leave a message and just plow into the bridge or whatever, family still gets the insurance and avoids the self-questioning of their letting them down. Maybe alot just want to end it all without hurting loved ones. Accident? We'll never know. God rest his soul.

    Thanks for the update. The wait staff at Biscuits didn't know much about the situation the day after.

    Thank you for the update. The poor soul :(

    So glad I'm not the only one noticing how politics seems to crawl into everything around here for some strange reason.

    Politics and race usually get blamed in the end for most things anymore. No doubt before too long someone will explain to us how he took his own life because he was the wrong race.

    He did what he did for reasons we will never know. Since we didnt know the man it really isnt our business to know anyway. Sure we are curious. But as so many others have already said how do we loose sight of the tradegy and turn this into some kind of debate?

    This forum is full of some of the most helpfull and amazing people in the trucking industry today. Let's please remain that way and respect this poor man and wnomever he left behind.

    Someone said he should have came here to seek support. That was great advise really. But reading over this topic I am wondering if we would have helped him or pushed him further.

    RIP

    TY...I'm glad YOU said that too.You can't talk back to the pets around here without it turning into major drama.I hope this poor Driver's family
    is making it o k.If he was working for Swift,chances are he was broke and with the ripoff funeral prices I'd say it's a bad road for them right now.

    Major drama?? Could be because you treat everyone else with condescension.
