    What do you mean by "well qualified" drivers?Those who know that a yruck with trailer weights 17 to almost 40 tons?That's basics man.Do you think it would be usefull to teach in CDL schools that 1 ton =more or less 2000 pounds.That's elementary school stuff man.I am east european but don't you guys say "You just can't fix stupid"?More than anything driving a truck requires a bit of common sense which that girl apparently lacks.

    I was surprised with two things,she didn't know how much six tons was and she didn't blame GPS like .most do.she supposedly had a rider,why didn't she ask him how many lbs six tons is.but then again doubt thAt would have done any good,she probably didn't know how much her rig weighed and how many lbs was in the box.

    Well her rider was her 17yr old cousin so in the Amish community she probably had the same schooling and did not know either.
