    My thoughts exactly. I think it probably goes back to the Drive-A-Check (DAC) system the Megas set up to blackball drivers. Sure it’s justified part of the time but I’ve seen crazy abuse of that system. I, myself, have had a scratch on a rear trailer hinge no bigger than 1/2 of my pinky nail classified as a preventable accident and put on my DAC when the company was pissed that I left. Cut off a man’s livelihood and he tends to get pissed.

    You have no idea. Some of the world’s worst tragedies have occurred because of a grudge.

    True. And sometimes it IS just random. I’ve consumed everything related to the murders of those people at the Pilot in Tennessee and it really just looks like the driver had a mental problem and just snapped one night.

    Maybe he was going for suicide by cop?

    If he was he might have succeeded. What police barracks doesn’t have video surveillance nowadays?
    As it is,Highway Patrol is rethinking their security procedures now,as nothing like this has ever happened before.

    The story says he backed up his truck (pickup). No mention of hitting anything while doing so.

    Impossible for him to be a swifty..

    Doubt it. Suspect lives in Gladstone,Missouri-that’s north of Kansas City and Missouri Highway Patrol are searching his house to see if had anything illicit.
