I-84 in Oregon, 70 cars and 17 semis involved.

Black ice ,I'm sure , is just a term from lawyers and the media, to make the crashes seem justifiable. "It was black ice". Oh, in that case, all is forgiven.

Oh, in that case, all is forgiven.[/QUOTE]I use to hear about black ice back in the 80's when I lived in the god-forsaken state of Ohio. Now that I live in the south (where I belong) if you say black ice with a southern drawl...it sounds like blackass...which is something totally different...and possible offensive...so I won't say it.....oh......wait....ummmmmmm

 

The guy they are talking about has a yellow truck. There is a video of an interview with him around here somewhere. Its awesome.

 

Cool ol' KWhopper. This is the one I was thinking about.

####.. And I have a load leaving SLC headed to Woodburn
Hopefully this is cleared up by tomorrow...

 

you guys need to stop picking on Swift

their drivers have awards in excellence

(so it says on the back of every trailer)

and honestly, it seems that every pic of multiple truck crashes has a Swift truck in it

could it be they set off the chain reaction?

 

Just talked to my son in Baker City. He's stuck in his office today, and HAPPY to be there. Says it has been "spitting snow" off and on all day, and the streets in town are a mess, as well as the freeway. Sure glad I don't live up there!
