Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

I been driving a yr and a half now and I cant seem to understand how a truck flips over on a straight interstate seen 2 on they side today

 

Wind, truck drifts onto a shoulder over reacts, blown steer, not paying attention

 

Stupidity, laziness, arrogance.....

 

Im lazy....that why I drive trucks lol....j/p.....I dont understand how ppl roll over trucks either

 

It's actually quite easy, for all the reasons above. When I hauled turnpike doubles, We had a new driver that flipped his across a 7 mile straight road and blocked the only way in or out of the area for 2 hours LOL! He wasnt used to the stress of hauling over length. nor the competitiveness of his fellow drivers at the facility and it tired him out and He drifted off for a few seconds and drifted off the road and the back trailer rolled and brought everything over. Thankfully he wasnt hurt. But he did lose his job.

 

There's a paper place in GA that does this with the power unit still attached. Tosses everything in the cab all over the #### place.

 

do yall still deliver those big paper rolls to Muskogee Oklahoma?

 

The only accident that has ever happened right in front of me was in Kansas on 35. Jeep Liberty passed me on the left hit the rumble strip on the left and just seemed to head straight into the guardrail on the right. Bounced off and hit the left wall. Brutal accident but the girl was allright. She spent 30 minutes in my truck waiting for the troopers. Pretty little college student. I was pleased with the way things turned out, lol.

Point is the road was straight everything was fine and then it wasn't. There was no wind, it was a sunny day. Just a swerve and an over correction and that was it. Who knows why these things happen.

 

Got love the new mpg bonus game.

 

This is what I tell the students at the local tech school. No matter how long you drive, no matter how many times you run 15, 5, 10, 40, 75, 24, 90, You will NEVER drive it the same way twice. You may have different road conditions, construction, that girl using her cell phone, and that guy shaving and eating while driving. One day it's hot, the next, it's cool. As a professional driver, you must always be ready for whatever the road has to throw at you, because the minute you stop paying attention to her, she will slap you.
