So a company can put your life in jeopardy ? ... it was -14F. And for whatever reason he had no heat in the tractor...
The guy is a idiot, but trans-am is wrong.

Agreed, tras am were d bags, but not criminal. Thats what the judge was talking about
-
Is there any responsibly on the drivers part? If his tanks were #### near empty after only 2 and a half hours, then he was way low. Would you blame tras am if his tank gelled?Hammer166, Snailexpress and rearview Thank this.
-
I wouldn't have let my tanks get that low. I would have been on the horn with dispatch asking for help finding the fueling station.
-
He could have called 911, medical emergency, trans cant tag him out for that
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Basically this was a comedy of errors, on both trans am and the driver. End of the day, they both made many poor choices. None of which were illegal
MrEd, NavigatorWife, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
Listen towards the end of this video.There's exceptions to certain laws and this one is one of those exceptions.I question just how fair this judge will be if does get elected to the Supreme Court.NavigatorWife Thanks this.

I pretty sure they are told when and how much fuel to buy.....
They don't just fill her up... they are told (something like) buy 35 gals in OH and get going....and stop a xyz in PA and buy xxx gals...Ke6gwf, NavigatorWife, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
I dont, far as i can see he read what the law said. There is no exception for breaking company policy, if he had slured speach, and losing feeling, call 911. If you want to play the bad choice game, he basically drove drunk
-
So he is a robot? We tear up wheel holders everyday here. If he knew his truck had no heat, why was he driving it in sub zero temps? Windshield is gonna frost over... low tanks gell, hey boss, need gogo or i cant gogo! But he either ignored several red flags that we wouldn't, or he let himself be brow beat by trans frickin amNavigatorWife, G13Tomcat and rearview Thank this.
