Any News from Crash in GA?

Just out of curiosity.

 

I don't know about that other guy but for me seeing it keeps the fear, and the realization of what we actually do out here and what can happen if we get to complacent in what we do. And by reading we can learn what not to do if caught in same situation. My heart goes out to both these families

 

Yep. Looks like millis was running one of their beer accounts. Heavy sumvgun load and yes, liquid will push truck to some extent.

Saw pics of the jb tractor, nothing left of cab. Only the engine and frame was still visible. Rest in Peace driver.

 

Its a horrible layout,just like the rest of spaghetti junction.
This crash spot has so much action,they have quit even replacing
the guard rail.
Its a shame what drivers have to learn the hard way,just to make a living.
I wouldn't blame either of these poor drivers,or the ones that are to come.
Its a bad spot,poorly designed,and never intended to take the daily abuse
that Atlanta growth has put on it.
They just keep throwing drivers at it,and hope it stays off the daily news.
Piss poor planning

 

Can you explain what do the poor ole drivers just trying make a living think the truck roll-over signs and sharp curve warning signs indicate? So help me God I hope to live the day that the D.O.T mandates I.Q tests to qualify for a C.D .L.

 

Wheres the rollover sign? Did the JB Hunt driver have a sign telling him he was gonna get slammed.
Theres another place on 285 getting onto 20.No rollover sign there either.
There is one from 85 southbound side.
Guard rails are still missing on the northbound ramp.
My IQ has nothing to do with fixing,and replacing problem areas.
$20 there is another wreck on that same ramp in the next week.

 

so now we need gooberment not only to tell us when we can drive and can't drive, but we need signs too now? What ever happen to one using common sense?.......oh I know gooberment hadn't allowed us to use that either yet

talking about people wanting to be micro-managed....how about just letting dispatch tell you when you are allowed to eat or goto the bathroom....when will it ever end

 

There's a sign on each side, plus a wall of arrows, on the I-85 NB ramp. I haven't studied the guard rail. I usually control my speed enough not to worry about it. IIRC the I-20 EB ramp even has a speed sensitive flashing light. In addition to plentiful signs and arrows. I never go that way so not sure about the current condition on that one.

That's a sucker bet. There's several wrecks there per day. Has nothing to do with inadequate signage. More like inadequate driving talent.

 

ok...

see you guys tomorrow..
somewhere on spaghetti..
braking,clutching,sitting,listening to professionals talk on the cb about our fine layout for this
beautiful piece of highway engineering.
Are all the big rig crashes from lowly rookies??Is this a place for unexperienced drivers to end it all?
How did they make it all the way to Atlanta?
