    What are you talking about? Sorry man but most that make statements are 400 pound pigs that haven't washed themselves in a week. It is very hard to have any respect for those don't respect themselves. People in general have a great respect for truck drivers. It's truck drivers that don't like or respect truck drivers.

    Thats a pretty true statement...if ya ever notice, its only the truckers who really bash truckers. If the genrral public hated truckers so much then why would they want to mingle with us at the truck stops? I dont have 4 wheeler drivers shun me at any truckstop. 410 lb pigs after the breakfast and dinner buffets today hahaha...

    Thank you for posting. I sure hope that's the worst one I ever see. And I'm so happy that they escaped with so little injuries.

    It would be interesting to see the embankment he launched off of. I'm guessing it was pretty steep. I looked on google maps satellite view but they only have an old photo before it was reconstructed.

    I'm impressed by his cargo securement ! amazing that stuff (shingles ? lumber ?) wasn't scattered all over the highway.

    I guess the fuel and/or oil was ignited by the frame of his truck scraping across the road. With that much weight scraping things heat up pretty quickly.

    How do we know that it was a car that almost sideswiped the driver? Seems these days too many truck drivers have a hard time staying in their own lane when passing or being passed. Twice in the past 4 months I've almost been run right off the road by another truck while trying to pass..
