    Well to his defense that car was right in the space that u cant see , and was just riding there. But with all that dust and #### u shouldve seen u hit somebody . And his brake lights was on , probably because he had his jake breaks on going down hill. Some of the newer trucks turn the brake lights on when jakes are in use.

    Semi is a “Star Car”,specifically a Western Star 5700 XE condo sleeper.

    If the images can be magnified and cleaned up enough they should be able to get the DOT/MC number and the VIN number off the side of the tractor.

    Alot of people don't like to pass trucks on Oregon
    You ever notice how they slow down and sit in the worst possible place when they 'pass'? :tard:

    Ocean Trailer mudflaps on a tridem van. If I were to take a stab at it I'd say its a BC truck. Looks familiar but I can't place that logo.

    Chances are that tractor will have some front end damage, mostly cosmetic.

    Well being a Canadian company, he'll have to cross the border at some point in the near future. Would border guards question a trucker about truck damage when crossing over? I mean that Western Star is essentially just a glorified Cascadia. Probably would have some pretty significant damage from even a minor hit like that.
