    First of all, these are totally unrelated.

    I want to say how much I hate light bars and the 4 wheelers and trucks that leave them on to see if they can blind me for the next 5 minutes.

    Seriously, this can't be legal???

    On another note, I'll leave you with some photos of a new driver at Stevens Transport (my 1st company). Goes to show how much common sense is used these days... FB_IMG_1494115819478_14955971904281.jpg FB_IMG_1494115826882_14955971903981.jpg

    Anymore I can't help but laugh at all the stupidity in today's industry.There's plenty of blame to go around.

    What I wonder if it was camera enhancement. No driver can be that stupid or can they.

    No doubt even a normal 100%student driving for the first time would know better but the key word is normal.

    Yep. Common sense is gone today. Completely.

    Reminds me of the new driver that tried to cross that 4 ton limit bridge that was like a historical landmark....

    1: I also hate those LED light bars.

    2: That tow truck was totally unnecessary. Any place you pull into, you can back out of. But that would require the self-awareness that it was a dumb move to take a semi through a drive-thru. I hate when drivers make us all look stupid like that.

    I used to run with a guy who drove for Dunkin Donuts. I hope they didn't outsource his job to this driver and the guy was attempting to deliver there.

    Pro tip: if the lot is too small to get around the building or turn around, you must back in off the street.

    What I heard is he got hung up on the thing you order into or something and the tow truck lifted the trailer. Doesn't look like the tow truck was needed though...
