Semi crosses median

And here's another one for today, not more than 40 miles from my home-20. And 2 rigs wrecked on WV Turnpike today. Seems to be coming more frequent for some reason. I know it's raining, I know it's slick, but slowing down in these conditions helps no matter what you are driving. I often wonder if some drivers are pushing harder because of the HOS law, maybe trying to outrun the devil before the 14 hr chime?
Be careful out there guys / gals, there's only 1 You.

LOL...... It's them darn out of towners / flat landers.

 

Some of it is "stupidity" most likely, no cure for that. Then again, accidents do happen. Just a lot of accidents lately. On I-64 east at Institute there has been 3 trucks wrecked in about 6 weeks, 2 of those trucks went through the guardrail (separate wrecks), what is it with that area? another 4 wheeler flipped in that area after I got home today. The other day there was an 18 sitting in the granny lane at the end of the entrance ramp for the westbound pickle park, black marks leading right up to his tires. From my understanding a 4 wheeler hit him, then swerved and hit more 4 wheelers while the 18 came to a hard stop, not always the truck drivers fault.

 

My first truck was a 1973 K100, it had 10:00-20 bias ply on the tractor and the 42 foot trailer I pulled, today we have hi-rent radials. Everything is suppose to be better now, "suppose to be". But we slso have more distractions, and higher speed limits that most ignore.
