    I would not have. I don't want to hear the super truckers bragging about their 150 MPH truck or megafleet drivers complaining about their dispatcher.

    Super trucker gets a lift outta there! I expected his truck to look worse considering how fast he hit.

    First off only a moron would stand in a ice covered Highway. But someone with some sense could put out triangles stand on the side waving a jacket throw out flares etc etc. Guess standing there filming saves lives or just gets you on World Star Hip Hop. I for one would hope someone would take a chance to slow people down if it might happen to be one of my family members on that road. That in my opinion is what is wrong in this world today to many watchers and not enough doers. Just my 2 cents . Until you have seen the aftermath first hand standing and filming might be your first instinct. But for those of us who have had to hold someones hand and keep them calm waiting on medical attention while being pinned in by a tree you tend to want to stop it before it happens....

    that is nothing short of a sheet of ice, i wonder how long they were driving on that (forget about the fog for a moment)

    i havent driven on ice in a few years, i just park it, so i dont wind up in situations like this

    they had no chance of stopping if the roads were in this condition

    There's only one way Super truckers would have slowed down...

    Get a naked lady on shoulder to throw Big Mac Sandwitches onto the interstate :yes2557:

    I guess this was not that sticky ice that some super trucker's on hear say you can haul ### on.

    Too many idiots thinking they are indestructible, especially the billy bigriggers who like to fly through that crap at 80 mph and think it's funny to mock people taking it easy on hazardous weather.
