2nd triple fatality in week in work zone involving tractor-trailer

And Effingham Is so Trucker Friendly- Let's Not Ruin that.....Might be too late after this one.

 

To fast and not paying attention. Quick slow downs, and abrupt stops can catch a driver off guard. Been there done that, as has anyone that drives. Fortunately never hit..but a mighty hard stop. Whew!

 

Yup not paying attention to the road. Sounds like the driver hit the suv with out slowing. God rest their souls.

 

This driver was 59 and the other was 57, maybe they’re too old to be driving

 

Maybe get rid of a lot of these stering will holders.... A lot of a clowns out here have no business having A cdl much less a driver's license

 

Probably not gonna be the most thanked post of the week Tucker.

Did you note the driver was 59, from Michigan?

 

Over 20 yrs otr I can count the times I locked my brakes on one hand. Most if not all occasions were the other vehicles fault.
For instance on US 301on MDs eastern shore an EXplorer was pulling a
set of "doubles" the Explorer towing travel trailer towing a boat (is that
even legal?) He started across the nb lanes then saw 2 18s sb so he stopped in the crossover with the boat still in the nb granny lane. I stood on the brakes & hit the horn, I got his attention so he pulled up enough to get the boat in the hammer lane, there were no vehicles in the hammer lane. The 2 sb 18s hit their horns also. I hope he learned a lesson, probably not

 

Willing to bet the following items will come up in the ensuing investigation:
1. Driving record has numerous infections/ violations of all types.
2. Works for a company with a similar bad record.

The authorities know exactly who these people and companies are. Just like the scandal in Massachusetts where the 26 year old killed 7 motorcyclists. Head of DMV forced to resign, over 1200 drivers have had their license revoked in the last month, and counting.

 

I sure did.
