    Don't read much do you. Kinda responded to the whole "Karma" thing above. Or did you read that and not comprehend it?
    Drivers that give drivers a bad name are the idiots that believe in "Karma".
    I may or may not have any "class" but i can read and process the english language. Maybe you might want to stop crashing your truck as well.
    Look, when you crash your truck, on a clear day for no reason other than the fact that you were either 1) not paying attention or 2) falling asleep, which is what they believe the OP did, then you're an idiot plain and simple. I sat there and lost about $260 in four hours.
    I see driving farm trucks for the OP down the line, you know, grain haulers and the likes. No regulated company is going to touch this guy for about 3 years.

    I can see both points here. I see a lot of drivers do a lot of stupid things. Driving too fast for conditions, tailgating and using the phone being the biggest and most frequent offenders. You can usually tell when someone's on the phone by their swerving and inconsistent speeds. Anyhow @mjb927 I get frustrated when a drivers incompetence holds me up. I haven't had an accident ever in a cmv or personal vehicle. I'm pretty sure I won't ever be in that situation. But on the other hand @wore out, nobody's perfect, or invincible and anything can happen at anytime. Steer tire blowout, black ice or snow squall, brake check from a young dumb revenge seeking driver. I could go on but I'm basically agreeing with both of you.
