    The trucks have drivecam but I don't have access to that data. I'm not sure who the carrier was, i don't think it was another milk hauler. I have been around dairy for a long time and know most of the companies by name. I think it was a chemical hauler or something.

    I was so relieved when I saw that 4 wheeler pull over. It probably would have killed someone. I was actually waiting for the crash.

    Here in wildlife land we have folks come up from the cities and actually try to put the children on a huge bull elk with a great rack to get that picture, I have decided humans are not the intelligent species on this rock, they are in a race for the fastest way to the end. I have made mistakes hiking around with them, they will make you regret not paying attention and trying to hurry. unfortunately some just need to learn a lesson a hard way, slow down, enjoy the ride and keep your eyes open.

    Contact your safety department and see if the video was recorded. If so I would encourage you to report the incident both to the company and to the police.

    Drive cams have 2 buttons on the side that the driver can push to start recording. Just make note of the time and bring the info to your safety department and they can pull up the data.

    i told my boss about the incident and he said that's b.s. what the driver did but he really didn't care a whole lot. he would be the one most likely having access to the data. we do not have a safety dept that i am aware of. it seems like my boss only cares about himself and how much money he makes. i have two people i deal with, the owner bruce; and jessica the dispatch/office person.

    i know my boss has access to the camera data because he looked at camera footage from the last accident his company had and he fired the driver after reviewing the data. the driver was looking out the window and lighting a cigarette.

    im guessing my boss doesnt care because there was no accident. thing is what this guy did was highly stupid and the next time he might kill someone. if he did it this time, im guessing its not the first time.
