Tractor-trailer crashes into I-70 tollbooth

Hell with it..Certainly not worth the aggravation of posting...

 

you know were just another stat.

does anyone give a flying for unseen cosmetic kernel about us?

I don't. Do you?

we ARE NOT holier than thou. we ARE NOT better drivers than the general public... WE ARE THE GENERAL PUBLIC. Why should I feel bad for this guy? he died?well sorry for your loss bud but i have other #### to attend to and I'm going to keep on keeping on. this one seems to me to be either over worked, over driven or under supervised. THIS WAS NOT MECHANICAL ERROR. I have better things to hold my sympathy for.

and I'm probably going to get cited for language but here is a thing to consider .|..

were grown boys and girls we can handle an ''' ohh scary or bad word """"

keep it in check but dont be ####'s

 

Excuse me Maam, but how did this horrible accident justify you attacking men in America?
Just when we were trying to get in touch with our kinder, gentler sides like Cosmo wants us to?
I'm so outraged I may cancel my Spa day and after a good cry I will 'get over it'.
Sadly it's "Accidents" like these that give the Regulators more justification to tighten the rules on the rest of us sheeple that herd 80 thousand pounds of potential destruction down the road as safely as possible.

 

I was responding to a poster who was ranting about this accident and blaming Russians...and paper-loggers, etc. It probably makes more sense if one reads the original posts. Cosmo? Even I didn't read that rag. Spa...everyone, male and female needs a little pampering now and then, especially a massage to work out all the kinks. This OTR life is hard on the body. LOL

 

Here is what it looked like before he got to it. You are driving east on I-70 falling asleep in the middle of nowhere when suddenly WHAMO! You are in a toll booth, I always thought it was a bad idea. I used to comment to the toll booth workers, "you couldn't pay me enough to stand in that coffin all night". I have heard their stories about trucks going through their lane at 70 MPH smacking their mirror as they squeeze by with inches on each side, blown steer tire that hits the curb at 70 mph...
No thanks!

 

OMG!! I've not been in the truck long, but I've never seen a Tollway look more like a bowling alley in my life. And the poor toll-booth workers...no way you'd get me in there to work at any price.
Thanks for the pic.

Added: That's why it didn't look familiar...our company GPS never sends us through there...always directs us around KC. How'd they do that? It's not like the company is trying to save toll $$.

 

No maybe about it, The DOT and FMCSA will be all over this. like flies on stink.
