Have no idea how fast the truck was actually going at the time of impact, but where it happened is right where I-85 has a speed limit change from 60 to 65.
Swift crash on I-85 kills co-driver/trainer

A couple days later we were on the simulator doing the mountain grade simulation. The same guy just left it in 10th and blew down the mountain at 90 mph. Then at the bottom of the hill he blew a red light and t-boned a school bus.
I guess there's at least some value in the simulator. Figured out pretty quickly why teaming with this guy would have been a bad idea.RedRover, CrazyPATrucker, dog-c and 3 others Thank this. -

Trainer was probably in the sleeper passed out. Forcing student to run graveyard shift like a team operation. It's lunancy for anyone to put a student behind the wheel and not be sitting shotgun monitoring everything, especially when it's 4:30am
A21CAV and CaptainDaveG Thank this. -
