    Nope, the pickup was ascending the grade, looks like he said screw it all to pass the rig while ascending on a double solid.

    Victim trucker: The pickup with camper was driving in wrong lane. I was fully loaded going downhill in Idaho

    I'd like chocolate filled chocolate eclairs please, thanks.

    "that area" is the whole country.

    Trailer pulling tourists are the worst, they are all pre-approved Swift runners.

    ####, that’s some good handling of the situation.

    The trucker is more of a dad to those kids then their actual dad at that moment.

    According to the Reddit thread, it was a construction zone and the pickup didn't realize it was two-way traffic on that section of road. Initially thought the truck was the one going the wrong way. Of course, the double yellow lines should have been a clue.

    Bah to 'didnt realize'.

    That scene isn't a "Caution: paint truck ahead", that's an obvious substantial construcion zone, wherein much signage would have already occured, including "Two-Way Traffic ".

    I'll bet the chocolate eclairs that BuddyD owes me the pickup was typical tourist: I got me a Chevy 2500, no problem honey!

    A dude old enough to have a wife, a family of 3, a truck and camper is plenty old enough to know construction zones and signs.

    Guess the sign didn’t mean anything.
    or he didn’t know what it meant
