You were at fault , you drove into a barrier by your own doing . Move on find a new job and learn from your mistake.
truckdriver31, stillwurkin and buddyd157 Thank this. -
It's okay you are still alive. Things happen I wonder what the heck is the best way to get the job done. It's driving things like that will happen.
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
Head on collision? At highway speeds? On a fully loaded rig?
not sure if that’s an accident I want to be in.
if all facts are true “thank god” you walked away. Job is worthless when your 6 feet deep.
move on and get another one.
Next time if your rig doesn’t have a camera you get one yourself for your protection.truckdriver31 and stillwurkin Thank this. -
A dash cam can make the difference. IIRC, the offending driver did not stop, but was caught later (don't remember if there was contact between the two trucks).
stillwurkin, magoo68, G13Tomcat and 2 others Thank this. -
It could just be the company's Insurance Co dictating your termination..
If you were driven off the road a decent dash cam may have saved your butt..or at least help you with convincing your next employer to hire you. I never drive without my dash cam rolling..
Good luck, hope you get back on your feet soon.stillwurkin and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
I saw an idiot do that yesterday on 97 south in Oregon.
Slick as eel snot, and traffic was stacked up about 15 deep behind a scared rookie running about 25mph.
Well... Genius peels out into the oncoming traffic lane and accelerates to overtake the entire line at once.
No headlights on.
But, he did have a bright yellow tractor.
Made it about half way when traffic appeared and he had to FORCE his way into the correct travel lane to prevent a head on collision.
That's a real pro.
A superior representative of us all.
He had to go.T.Rucker, not4hire and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
I would have pooed a lot in my pants. Holy crap, that is scary to watch I can't imagine what that guy felt like seeing that coming.misterG, not4hire, G13Tomcat and 1 other person Thank this.
