    Well, I hope they at least found his trailer with the tandoms slid all the way up! I think it appropiate that this company park the rig "as-is" along some highway and write the words"ALL FREIGHT HALF-OFF" as a sort of punishment for this . . .

    I was watching the tv show smash cuts and they showed a couple clips of trucks getting hit by trains one was a truck that ignored the bells flashing lights and arms coming down he went right on thru and there was a redlight on the other side with 4 wheelers in front of him putting his trailer tandems on the tracks and then the train comes and bam end of trailer gone. There was another clip showing a crst truck going across some tracks there and it was an angle crossing with a light on the other side and same thing he stopped leaving the end of his trailer angled on the tracks and the train was coming and boom took off the end of his trailer and tandems, when will these drivers learn?

    I wonder just how hard he had to stand on the brakes to keep from being dragged by the train?
