    Incredible. Turning down the wrong ramp is bad enough, but could almost be an honest mistake and excusable if they stop immediately and back out of it. Just trucking along like it's normal is insane though.

    I don't know how this guy could miss the WRONG WAY signs at the tops of these ramps, complete with the red circle with the white bar in it.
    It seems like a lot of these clowns who hail from that area are nothing more than steering wheel holders. I see them on their cell phones while barreling down the highway at 105 km/h and I work with quite a few who must not know what a pre-trip inspection is. I've gone to pick up trailers from locations, only to find a tire is flat (how the hell could you do a pre-trip and miss that?) and I've gone to pick up trailers where the paperwork is missing from it. Drivers like that ought to be working as Walmart greeters.

    Like I've said many times, more training and regulations won't fix this. Its a common sense and attitude issue.

    What will fix this is enforcing the regulations we have on the books.

    Unfortunately we can’t weed out these bad drivers because his friends and family will rehire him

    Want to hear a crazy story a co worker at work has to testify in court because he witnessed a semi truck running into the back of another. The driver was 21 from Brampton and the truck was a new freightliner only a few months old with license plates from a 07 volvo . The courts can’t figure out who owns the equipment and the 21 year old driver hasn’t shown up to court two times now

    I saw a brampton driver in a Honda civic driving the wrong way on dixie rd going north near the kenworth dealership last week and people were honking their horns and flashing lights. i couldn’t believe it

    All professional means is a your main source of income come from a paticular chosen occupation. We tend to associate the word with skill because of using it with various sports. Again this is references the individuals main income. Not their skill level.

    Another one posted on skilled truckers on fb. 142k. And used his real name. Just bought his licence in July. Is this live streaming stupidity a relatively new thing?
