    Well maybe out there in CA they play that but there is like 15 states now that are "no fault" states. I know DE NY NJ MI are "no fault" states. Which means you get in a wreck with another person and the stories don't match = no fault. Rear end wreck or whatever it may be.

    Understand the feeling. But don't blame me, CBS already did it.

    Secondly, you aught to know by now that once the media gives a full name a person can be easily found on the internet. The media long ago gave this guys name, age, employer, state, town, twitter. With that information you can find out who changed his diapers!

    Rear ends are always at fault. That's the way the law is, and that's the way insurance companies see it. Trucking companies too.

    I personally try to avoid Walmart, not because I'm against Walmart, but they're just take so long to get in and out of.

    Oh yeah? It is as far as I'm concerned, and will continue to be so as long as I'm on the job.:)

    I passed this wreck. I can tell you that up until the accident back up, traffic was light and spread out, and after we got past it, it spread out again. The back up took about 2 hours and was only about 2 and a half miles long. They had all 3 lanes blocked and the traffic was being diverted to the shoulder to go around. One thing I did notice that night, NJ has variable speed limit signs and there were several that were on as 45 for construction, in areas where there was off road construction and those were largely ignored by traffic. In some places you would see one reading 65, then down the road, 45, then pass several that were dark.

    After the passing the wreck, I stopped at the Vince Lombardi and we changed drivers, and had the easiest transit of the GWB and through NY that I ever remember. Traffic was light.

    I'd rather go to WalMart any day than some of the Mom & Pop warehouses I've been to that are built for straight trucks.

    Pull into an alley, jockey around half a dozen cars to slide a 53' trailer into a dock that you'd have a hard enough time fitting your bobtail into.... yeah, give me WalMart any day.

    Speed limit signs on the NJTPK are just suggestions according to those that ride it regularly

    I blame you for contributing to the problem by spreading it around.

    Just because somebody does something wrong doesn't make it okay for everybody else to do it, too.

    Now some nutjobs might stumble across it that might never have bothered looking for it.

    I think people do connect with WalMart. Nobody connects with a trucking company. People shop at WalMart not at Swift, Cowan, JB hunt, etc.

But yeah unless you are a WM or a dedicated at the D/C's it takes forever there as well ADM, Walmart , several other big names just got on my nerves having to sit so dang long and I wanted more exercise so I gave up swinging doors.
