Huge Truck Pile-Up on Interstate

The "professional drivers" with CB radios COULD do that but they generally prefer to argue and call the drivers asking "what happened" rookies for not asking 10 miles earlier.

 

Or they're busy making stupid noises and asking for a radio check every 30 seconds

 

Same been running almost exclusively nights. And another thing about eld is it made some hands that were good drivers before and start driving like idiots playing beat the clock.

I was on 380 yesterday when the snow squalls hit. The few of us together running back from jersey all backed off real good and kept distance from each other. Couple idiots flew by us

 

Sometimes the best thing to do is SHUT IT DOWN and wait for conditions to improve. Find someplace to safely pull off.
A lot of people have forgotten that summer has come and gone-and act all surprised when snow hits! I know I definitely haven’t forgotten because 2 weeks ago 27.5 INCHES of snow was dumped on my house(and no,that is not a misprint). We have have been taught time and time again to allow extra time for weather conditions and yet these wrecks keep happening.

Regardless if you’re running I-90,I-80,I-70/76 or any interstates where the terrain and elevation changes you have to be on your guard(and sometimes “know when to say when”). And also,don’t BUNCH UP!!

 

Wind causes these accidents someone light gets blown a little bit tries to correct and spins out of control.

 

Okay and here's some helpful news.

In the event that conditions look questionable on 80 and you're about to hit no man's land between Rt 15 and Lamar, get off on I-280 and go around through Williamsport. The elevation doesn't change as much, the road is wider, there aren't any 200 foot deep drops on the other side of that broken old guardrail, and if things get really bad you can pull off in Williamsport, the Lycoming Mall, Rt 15. I think there's even a unlisted truckstop up there (really a gas station with diesel pumps and 5 parking spaces, IIRC.) better than sitting on the shoulder with your 4 ways on waiting to get plowed into.

 

The 80mph guy obviously. The 5mph is definitely a hazard on the road but going the proper speed and full attention on the road you can safely pass them. The 80mph idiot will jackknife and hit your trailer possibly making you lose control. One can be helped the other not so much.

 

ELD mate! Nothing else. HOS makes you beat the clock.

 

And now theyre giving illegals drivers licenses which I'm figuring will now allow them to get cdl's.

 

Glad ive been in arizona
