    That's such crap.. build more safe, legal areas for trucks to park and that won't be an issue.

    Just FYI guys, the bikers was truckers themselves. The story is all weird from so many angles. They had just passed by a rest area before the 136 on 40/85 and there was another coming up on 85 just south of Greensboro.

    Also the stories I've read indicated there was another person riding shotgun in the truck. Was he sleep as well?? It's pretty obvious the driver fell asleep

    Asking for government to fix a problem is pissing in the wind dude. Besides, you know when it's time to pull over. And you do it.
