    That is a walmart truck that filmed it.

    At highway speed, he couldn't stop any faster than he did.

    Actually he did good not being involved also.

    Stick around Mike, theres alot to learn here !!!!

    I agree he is a good driver...just watch how quickly he reacts once he sees the truck losing control...but he should have stopped.

    if you stop too quick-that is how pile ups start
    its best to get clear of the area then run back- its safer that way and your truck isnt in the way for emergency vehicles--or in way if a fire starts--or if there is a hazardous load in the truck as well

    You always try to stop AFTER, not ahead of the scene of an accident.

    He waited till the guardrail ended, so he had room to stop.
