Well, I DID PUT ONE IN THE DITCH one time, so I guess that means I can make fun of them to my hearts content. And yes, it WAS my fault, no reason to not man up to it. Glare ice with a gusty cross wind, I was driving a single screw pulling a pup with no freight on board. But I obviously was driving too fast for existing conditions, or I have kept it on the road.
I know what it feels like to see the barrow pit coming at you, and have your rectum suck the drivers seat clear up into your throat. I'm sure if I had panicked, I'd have laid it over, but I kept my head, and kept it upright. And that was NOT just pure luck, it was knowing what I had to do, and doing it.
So yeah, I will poke fun at other drivers, knowing that I have had plenty of fun poked at me. A person who cannot take a bit of ribbing is going to have a hell of a tough time in the world.
Fed ex, you're doing it wrong!

seems to me doubles are the most dangerous rigs on the road
R and L Carriers put a set in the median today mm125 on 40 in AZ -
Doubles and triples. I never hauled triples, other than around the yard building sets. I didn't mind the doubles with a twin screw tractor, and well loaded rockies were fine.

I hate that saying (good job keeping it up on the wheels driver ) it's blind luck and not much else in most cases

OD and the local food service guys like to lay doubles on their sides as well.
