    Everyone driving like idiots, many playing beat the clock and hoping to get a parking spot. Just my .02 The reason I don't leave Michigan if I can help it, been in this racket to long.

    That wreck was so bad I couldn't see the fed ex freight logos on the trailers.

    Anyone care to say this is purely odd coincidence they both catch fire? DPF systems had nothing to do with either of these fires? The numbers of these fiery incidents keep escalating and accumulating and yet they keep putting us into these potential hell-on-earth vehicles, just waiting for a driver to screw-up. Thank you California and the rest of you over-regulating governmental buttholes

    Too many fires with these new trucks, years ago there weren't many truck fires.
    Where is OSHA, they don't care about our work place safety. All that matters is California has clean air, no matter how many drivers it kills.
    Years ago most truck fires were from brakes or tires, not anymore, it's that blowtorch under every truck.
     
    7-UP Thanks this.
