    Make sure he is driving legal (understand the Log regulations and you will be able to know if he is or isn't if he calls you allot). Make sure when he is taking his 10 hour break he isn't on the phone 8 out of the 10 and make sure he is not stressed out and tell him to not speed and pay attention is the most important thing! How can you not see 2 big trucks on the side of the road. you should slow down and move over if at all possible.

    Then again maybe this other driver had a medical problem at the time?

    Them are just small suggestions to try and preach. Don't call your b/f with things that can stress him out while he is on the road. If you need to talk ask him to pull over and call you! If it can wait until he gets home or on a 34 hour break or something where he will be down for a long period of time wait!

    Some things just can't wait but don't tell him as he is driving down the road (cell phones, grrr):biggrin_25525:
