    CR England pulling a Target trailer. Wonder what the investigation will reveal!

    7 people dead. For no good reason.

    It's really sad and when you see the way people drive every day, it's not all that surprising when something like this happens.

    i know that feeling all too well.

    in my years on the road, i had seen many red sheets, crushed hard hats, dismembered bodies, and crushed cars, SUV's and vans..and tractors separated from the frame.

    when i'd be in the classroom telling my students about the severity of the many crashes, i had to pause to compose myself.

    one never forgets what he (or she) had seen

    The other night when I was at the loves in Boardman Oregon, there was an England driver, pulling a target trailer getting rude with the loves employee because he needed a tire changed.

    He said he had a bad tire and had to be in Boise ASAP and they informed him that it would be a while because they’re backed up with service calls,

    he didn’t like it and he left and went on down the interstate to the east. He obviously came out of Albany, Oregon, for sure went up I-5 to 84 and passed numerous places with shops… Drivers like this make me shake my head.

    They’ll take a hit,without a doubt,with possible litigation and other issues but I don’t think they’ll go bankrupt. Too many team drivers sharing 3 bunks in their sleeper trucks!
    Plus they can make a rap video or two to pay their attorneys!

    So clearly the flatbed was at fault and England was caught up when flatbed shoved the van into his trailer
