    This is kind of scary knowing that there are many worse grades around this country that is probably thinning the herd a bit. Part of the problem is the roads are crowded now and the HOS regulations make some think they need to hurry always because they may lose a second here and there.
     
  5. LOL..

    “Better pour some water on that ish!!”

    I'm only here because I misread the title as "truck rolls over on runway" and I was very curious about how someone managed that.

    However since this seems like a pretty standard consequence of complacency and contempt, carry on.

    I drove past that before recovery got there. At first, it looked like he missed the ramp and hit the ditch next to it. That had to be one #### of a stop.

    Enforcement was very active and visible that morning. I almost never get lit in Dumont and I had an inspection + brake check. Jeffco Sheriff was working just down the road at Genessee, too.
     
    Lepton1, Bud A. and mjd4277 Thank this.
