He wasn't here to defend himself. Probably out west somewhere with the needle buried, turnin and burnin. It was my civic duty. I'd do the same for you my friend.![]()

I don't care what name is one the truck..if a driver runs over a boulder of that size and doesn't have a clue that they ran over something of that size and drags it the distance the driver did, well then driver shouldn't be driving a truck.
It wouldn't matter who's name is on the truck whether it was knight, Werner or even walmart per say, to do something like that is just plain idiotic and shows that the driver doesn't have the ability to drive a truck much less a car. -
Driver should have been cited for DWHUA!!

S'ok....I just heard about one of my own Swifties (*sigh*) backing up to clear a dock area and pushing a taxi cab over onto its side.....and kept on going.

I think there are some benefits to not having 'trainer time' if the people are properly vetted...With a trainer, there's pressure to perform and do things you may not be comfortable doing because you have these eyes on you that can determine your future and you want to please them and have them think you're more competent/comfortable than you really are...Without one, our future rests all on us and we may go slower, take more time to do something and ask more questions making us a little safer as we gain experience IF we don't succomb to external pressures....Just a thought.....
Our company puts out a weekly list of company accidents/incidents and I'm always impressed with how minor 99.99% of them are....Everett Thanks this. -
As is true industry wide.

Injun Thanks this.

If a driver has a series of *ahem* "minor" accidents....Odds are....That driver will eventually have a Major Accident......
For those who missed "it".....It's called "Driving Habits"!!!!
