    This was initially reported as semi vs cement mixer:
    But was updated sometime during the night. Apparently UPS w/triples ran into the back of a slower moving dump truck!

    Sounds like UPS had better open up a logistics division quickly...at the rate their drivers are going at it, they are going to come under close scrutiny from the FMCSA. I guess that's what happens when your truck only has one speed.

    Surprising ups was only going 65mph because they usually pass me going 71 nd up in the northeast. Im not surprising because i have seen worst with fedex drivers.

    Them guys are crazy. Snowing, freezing rain or blinding rain they blow by me. Half the time thier double or triple almost takes my mirror off. I guess those packages are very important

    Neither of them were going full speed. It happened climbing a hill.

    They had right lane open when I went by. Ups was already towed away though.

    There are UPS trucks that run up and down 65 in Indiana that Prime could pass...maybe.

    not necessarily being snarky but is 71 mph some fast speed? heck all you company hands need to drive trucks that run at least 70 but then we'd still have the middle laners with the leg propped up on the dash. never mind.
