    The car is a Utah state trooper. The accident must have just happened as no wreckers had arrived on scene. He missed going into a ditch by a few humped feet. You can't see it but he punched through a guardrail.

    I don't think paper logs have anything to do with it but........Your assumption on Eastern European was my first thought as well. More specific, one of the Ruskies from Chicago or, it could be one of the Califas drivers from the Rialto hub. Both hubs have horrible reputations.

    I actually spend more time on the east coast than the west. I do like the northwest though and I grab a load that way when I can

    Thats right,.. dont forget. The Cubans from Miami love their Volvo's too. LOL

    Plus those 'Eastern Euro' folks are getting smarter. They are hiring rednecks from Bama and Missip to drive their trucks. Cuz from Bama makin good money too.

    In all seriousness,.. my carrier is owned by a Lithuanian guy. Polish, Armenian, Slovic, Lithuanian,.. these guys are not as bad as the few apples have made them out to be. I think I've seen more black and white drivers from large companies crash more trucks this year then I have seen from minority based companies.

    I've personally seen more craziness from drivers in Miami than anywhere else. Nothing like a nut job with anger management issues driving an uninsured truck with no tag and black magic marker to write a name on the door to make you rethink American bureaucracy.
