    You can see half a dozen places on I 40 in NM where people have crashed and burned, rolled it and burned, leading up to the 1 hour by design back up.

    Yea UPS is replacing all vehicles involved. Same make an model (or newer) they will try their best to settle out of court with the ppl involved... However even of they are able to settle out of court with the ppl they ain't gone settle with the state of Indiana... ESPECIALLY since that happened in a construction zone.

    Cabinover101 Thanks this.
  11. that's supposed to be news??
    we all know UPS is governed do about 75 and FedEx is governed to about 73...
    unless you're way up in the Northeast and then for some reason they're castrated way back..
    I roll along 71 miles an hour down in Georgia and I always get my doors blown off on i-85 from the brown clowns
