Did all these truckers just lose their jobs?

The lesson that needs to be learned here is not just speed, but following to close. It boggles my mind how many so called professional drivers tailgate.

 

Hi TT, oh, I know. Just the other day, I was going somewhere with my daughter, she has a small car, and this trucker was right on her tail. She knows I was a truck driver, and said, "Dad, why is this guy tailgating"? (she was going almost 65) I turned around, and this guy was on his phone, and I told her, "Well, it's 1 in the afternoon, some slippery roads, he probably has 6 more deliveries to make, probably arguing with the wife, because he 's not going to make it home for the dinner date, and the company is hounding him, where are you now"?

 

Love the ones when you tell them on the CB about bad weather / traffic slowdowns ahead that you just came out of and the reply is DRIVER YOU DRIVE YOUR TRUCK AND I WILL DRIVE MINE .

 

I guess that panther is going to be an exception...To the whole on time thing.

 

He probably hasn't been paid in weeks,so not an issue with him..Seriously,though that vid was kinda hard
to watch.Felt really bad for all those drivers that had split second decisions to make,or die trying.R.I.P. driver that didn't make it.

 

Theres another video that showed that cab that came off. There was a guy in the seat not moving.. As long as the guy in the Pete wore a seatbelt..

 

I wouldnt be moving either. Id be glued to my seat and wheel.

 

they had an inch of snow around Sidney Ne last night
I was going 55 or so right lane was clear
some guy in a rush had to pass in the other snow covered lane
total whiteout next 30 sec no idea where the road was
all i could think of was here i go just like mich

 

Yea, what ever happened to "shut up stupid" lol

 

It sounds crazy, but, if he's already ahead of you, try turning off your headlights when that happens (leave markers on). Of course, you should be slowing as well to help facilitate the pass and give the idiot distance, but you might be surprised how well you can see when you're not looking at headlight glare from blowing snow.
