    You never know nowadays. He was DWT(Driving While Tired). Now Heartland Express owes someone a new house.
    A lot of companies (my employer included) do CPAP testing on its drivers for this reason.

    #### driver 20 yrs otr & u pull a rookie move like this smh. BTW rule #1, dont talk to reporters!!! I wonder how the front half of the trlr got detached from the 5th wheel? It looks like the force of the crash tore the tractor & trlr apart. We'll have to see how long it takes b4 he post here looking for a job.
    Should he have admitted he fell asleep or concocted a phanton deer or 4 wheeler story?
