    I bt it was one of them OLD outlaw types, still running three different sets of loose leaf log books, if only he had swapped over to eld and straightened his life up, this would have never happened.

    I've spent most of my vacation near I-40, I-15 and I-80. It;s hallowing how much you her trucks riding on the rumble strip. Not just a quick touch on it either, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

    No wonder we get so many people getting plowed into on while on the shoulder. That's just people not even bieng able to keep it in thier lane. Something like stopped/slow traffic is a whole nother level...

    Sprinkled with a bit of not paying attention.
    So true. I have been behind some of these so called truckers. For fun, counted the times they drop off the edge of the road in a mile or so. Unbelievable! Can understand reaching for your chips or whatever. But constantly, really? Figure if they can't keep it on the dang road..get a different job. Two lane roads they drive 30 to 45 mph. CDL what a joke.
