    I dunno. It's a different world now. We've got a public that generally seems to hate truckers, kids endangered, ticked off parents, and JB Hunt tacitly admitting fault (offering money to pay expenses). The right (or wrong, depending on your viewpoint) lawyer gets a hold of this....it wouldn't just be a matter of sweeping it under the rug with an out-of-court settlement deal. Get the media involved and it could potentially get real ugly real fast.

    The corporate morons at jbi can thank their wonderful Bendix radar system and the Bendix system that automatically brakes the truck if an object appears too close too fast. They got it figured out huh

    Well, in some cases it would be hard to tell which 4-letter word I used(maybe not in this specific case). I mean how would readers know whether I was saying ####, ####, ####, ####, or ####. It could be confusing.

    Or should I have used a 3 yr old's word for it...like dukie, poo, poopoo or poopie?

    People run into emergency vehicles with all of their lights on too......

    Some people drive looking just past the steering wheel and then wonder why they got in an accident.
