Accidents in a rig

i wish you luck in your endeavor, keep at it for a while and you can make some decent money for your family, but it wont be easy.

 

If you're really concerned, I know of a race shop that can put a roll cage in your tractor.....

 

When big trucks end up in a crash, they often turn into a fireball. You got two 100 gallon fuel tanks sitting unprotected right under your doors. Drive safe!

 

You're far more likely to be injured in a function not related to actually driving the truck than you are of getting in an injury accident while driving (or while parked and asleep in the sleeper as happened in CT the other day). If you run team, though, your chances of becoming involved in a moving accident effectively double.

 

Just so YOU know, I was involved in a fatal accident, so I've been there, done it, got the scars to prove it. Accidents WILL happen, it's part of this, you deal with it or go find something else to do. But then again, you could get killed standing in the middle of a park throwing a frisbee.
