    How do you know that that is the front of the total scene? That the cameraman didnt just shoot the heaviest part of it?

    Ok, further examination tells me , fedex is upright. His lead pup is intact mostly straight behind him. His tail pup is jacked, suggesting that truck got into him. But he is upright. Whos to say he caused it.

    I get it they seem to have a penchant for speed, but to automatically assume ....

    Yes. It says he was one of the 50 others who got wrecked.

    Not even close. But if your gonna "lecture" me and quote my posts and try to point out how horrible it is up there I will tell it like it is.

    Your post came off like I don't know how to read a weather report or something. If I misinterpreted than that's on me but that's how I took it.

    Also assumptions are very dangerous. You know our company doesn't have the best reputation either so I admit I find it hilarious when you point out the shortcoming of other companies.

    If you've noticed I've been complaining about snow and ice a lot on my thread.
    When I looked up the area and saw it sucking I was commenting on the bad weather, it was not about you or trying to lecture you.
    If it came across that way simply by quoting your post, I apologize. That wasn't my intention.
    I'm fed up with bad weather and was expressing my frustration, was not trying to lecture you.
    I know you know what you're doing, heck you manage to get out of the TX/OK black hole all the time and I can't even get out of Kansas lol.

    I'm cool with people sharing their option and being opened but lets please keep it at least somewhat respectful towards one another.
    Thanks

    Yes exactly one of 50 in the pile up.
    How do I know that was the total scene and it wasn't just shoot the heaviest part? I counted.
    If you look at the overhead shot and COUNT those in the crash you'll clearly see Fedex is up front and that's just about the total scene.
    I numbered all those in the picture and counted 49

    Being from this photo I saw 49 of 50 stated and Fedex was up front is how I made my statement.
    Every pile up has a start and it has to start with someone up front of the scene right?
    Not saying I'm right or wrong, just an observation and guess.

    I hate the Fed ex sleeper trucks. I'd rather be in a herd of CR England trucks than have one of them near me.

    The only good thing about having a FedEx Ground truck near you is that he won't be there for very long......

    Probably a Schneider IC cut fedrex off, started the chain and then went on about his merry way. Not even bothering to check if anybody needed medical attention in the mess he just caused. Yes I said "he" because we all know women drivers would never do such a thing.

    No wait, it was a car that spun out in front of fedrex after speeding past and cutting him off. He managed to save her life and the lives of her 3 children, and keep his truck upright in icy conditions, before watching her walk around her car and seeing no damage get back in and speed away. The other 49 drivers were going to fast for conditions and couldn't stop in time.

    No wait, it was the Prime truck that rear ended fedrex because she was following too close and distracted by the cat she keeps in the truck. When traffic began to slow due to deteriorating conditions, it was too late by the time she realized what was happening.
