  4. since you seem to post consistently straight from CDL life you should title it my daily truck wreck headline
    as we all come to look for it as it's become so sadly commonplace

    From what I can see the drives have managed to almost cut the motor coach in half. There would be enough weight on that rocky doubles to make it happen. Who knows. Sorry people died. But that usually what happens when at least one person is not properly on the job to be safe.

    Was working on this road almost 8 years delivering propane to the mine. Deadly road, curly like pubic hair, narrow and slick. Ore truck drivers paid by the load, more trips means more money. They are flying back to pickup next load.
    Sunrise and sunset are most dangerous time because sun will blind driver and shift change time create lot of traffic. Will hate crew pickup trucks for rest of my life.
