    Some women can be truckers' wives and some just can't. It's something to consider when looking at career options.

    I've been mad at them plenty of times...heck, I'm mad at them now...but what that driver did isn't going to solve anything...he only made things worse for all of us.

    I've decided when it comes time to leave a job...just leave...its their loss, not mine.

    That said...there are a lot of people (drivers and otherwise) out there these days that have nothing left to lose...and you know what they say about a man with nothing to lose.

    prepare to have all your companies, specially the big ones, have drivers use seprate entrances to buildings and not be allowed in certian areas of facilities because they can be considered unstable.
    this story is running the emails now and come monday there will be new rules in place at large facilities. I bet money on it. Just come back and read my post in a month and tell me I'm wrong.

    Looking at the news reports, now he's not dead. There are so many conflicting reports. It was a flatbed, tanker, he's dead, not dead, there is a lot of stuff they are getting wrong.

    If he's not dead yet I'm quite sure when this is all over with and he's sitting in jail suffering from the injuries he inflicted on himself, he's going to wish he did die.
