    Forgive me for stereotyping but of the trucks I saw in the pictures and videos of the crash I'd say it's rookies and foreigners for the most part. Anyone who's spent anytime in Wyoming knows how slick it gets out there and how blinding the blowing snow gets. CRST, England, Quest, Trans Am and "amritruck" where the U.S. Carriers I could make out. None of them are exactly known as bastions of experience. There's been a lot of these big multi vehicle crashes the past year I hope it doesn't repeat next winter.
