    This is also true. Complacency can kill, and it did in this case.

    They've identified the driver. He was only 31 though, so he couldn't have been driving for very long.

    I do know this much. THIS "seasoned driver" was definitely expecting bridges to be slippery when I left the house that morning.

    May he rest in peace, I was rolling OTR at the age of 22. You have to be in the right mindset, especially in those conditions.

    When I haul gas it's 100LL Avgas. A little more volatile than regular.

    But it's lighter so it evens out in the end.
