    That would be because OO are not a company. They are individuals.

    Your source is a law firm. Quite questionable.

    It’s the tail end of produce season, and the reefers are all driving like total ##### down 20/40/70/80.... I was put literally on the shoulder 3 times today on 40 by 3 different reefers with feet on the dash and couldn’t control themselves in NM. Nightmare.

    Yea, because a website made by ambulance chasing lawyers is sure to be accurate...

    While I would not be surprised if it's true, it would only be by accident as one would expect training companies to have more wrecks.
    Not to mention it makes no sense. The give USXpress 3rd place with a score of .0046 (whatever that number means) and Warner a .0056 saying they both had about the same number of wrecks, but USXpress has 2x as many miles. Should not the rating be half then?

    No, if you want to throw out statistics, at least throw out something that's not so obviously b.s.

    So in other words, because you can’t do it nobody else should be allowed to?

    That sounds awfully familiar.

    Ok, that’s not a big deal.

    On the other hand, if you’re dragging along at 62 mph in a 70 in the middle lane and you’re not about to make a left hand exit, you deserve to get cussed out for holding up traffic.

    If its the height of rush hour in a major city I'm holding that center lane regardless of how fast the speed limit is or if I can go that fast or match the flow of traffic. Not that I'm an ###, but I don't want some idiot that don't know how to merge to aide swipe me... Therefore possibly causing me to sideswipe into you as you blow my doors off at 10 mile an hour faster than I can go.

    That meme is now officially stolen.

    If I could thank you more I would.

    That was worthy of a lol in the real world. My dogs are now looking at me funny.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. - No idea.

    Here in Chicago, the white Volvo mafia companies wreck pretty often. Far more than the megas.
