    yeah, cnn is saying the truck was slowing down and the guy was dozing, so you tell me, how was he slowing the truck and sleeping? magic?

    Google: NEW WORLD COMMUNICATIONS OF TAMPA, INC., d/b/a WTVT-TV, Appellant, v. Jane AKRE, Appellee.

    They simply don't have to relay factual information anymore; especially when there are ratings to be had.

    That's what I'm thinking, that it was a contractor. WM has Swift, US Xpress, Arnold, Knight, and others pulling their trailers. I'm guessing the media just saw the "Walmart" trailer and ran with the story.

    Because the truck rear ended the bus. Yeah. The trucker was at fault. And people wonder why they regulate the hell out of us because of crap like this and what happened this week in Minnesota. Here's to Tracy and a speedy recovery. One of the funniest guys on the planet.

    Definitely looks like a Walmart Pete. I can see the blue logo with the yellow star thing.
    Gonna be a tough pill to swallow when that verdict is read. Sheesh.

    This Trend of truck drivers "Failing to notice Traffic Slowing Or stopped" Is starting to wear real thin. How many more Rear enders do we need
    to read about
