    Yes have seen & heard the pileup on i80 in Wyoming. The snow was coming down thick, visibility was barely 300', which should be a sign to drivers to slow down, right? If you can't see what's ahead of you there's no amount of money that should make a driver keep speeding down the roads as if the sun is shining.

    Actually the swift driver's problem who got stuck on the ice
    may have been arrogance. Many a driver will not admit to having gotten stuck or making a mistake. It starts out long before becoming a trucker, back when a man won't admit he is lost & keeps driving in circles. At least the Werner driver called for help to get a tow.

    Common sense. I know it's a quality most don't seem to possess anymore but that is main thing, IMO. Use common sense. You aren't driving a darn car so don't act like you are in one. So many drivers drive like they can stop on a dime. And bad thing is, it is what they are taught by people who haven't been in a truck but a few months. It just keeps compounding.

    It's not difficult to be safe out on the roads every day.

    Can't use what you ain't got. Common sense ain't so common any more
