    And I'm sure we could fill the site up with company truck crash videos as well. Keep on pounding down that Kool aid they're passing around. Who knows, maybe they can bring Tracy Morgans buddy back to life with it. Great job on the YouTube forensics crash evaluation by the way

    Looks like under securement too. I'm not sure what it was but it went flying off to the right.

    That's not necessarily undersecurement......Slam into a SWH doing 40-50 mph and 15 chains wouldn't hold it.

    Oh,BTW... Bubba's W-900 insurance claim would probably be handled swiftly and neatly in the comfort of Bubba's climate controlled Home..

    As opposed to a SWH driving a megas biodegradable car.. The Driver would probably be held captive at the carriers terminal for hard-nosed questioning of that of a criminal.

    In my last yr of driving the northeast I seen about 40 wrecks. Witnessed 3 personally. My hand to God. I never once seen a small company or O/O involved. It was always the megas. So Bubba must be doing something right

    That coil flying off the passenger side makes me cringe. Also that step deck looks like it helped it from going into cab.

    Dryver I don't have enough time run logs and all that to know either way. Until 2 months ago the only time I ran a log was if we had a job far off from home. Moving equipment around town I was exempt, I think. So instead of scrutinizing my choice of words how about giving some knowledgeable input. The whole reason for this post is to get info so I can decide if getting a truck or driving,for a company suits me better.

    Well the one thing I wouldn't like is the clock not stopping.Do I run illegal . I guess sometimes I do.But not the way most think .I don't run hard what I do I guess I could do legal..But if I want to stop and maybe meet a friend at a truck stop sit catch up ,eat.i don't like the ideal off the clock to keep going when I can lie on my books a little and not lose anytime.Seems like you would be more rushed to take advantage off your time if you couldn't stop it.
