    Well I am certainly no expert on this subject but I think I would have handled this the same way as a blow out. Holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, which should be on the wheel at all times anyway, and let off the gas pedal, not using the brakes at all and just try and keep the truck as straight as possible until it came to a stop or was at a safe speed to use the brake pedal to come to a stop.

    Of course all rational thinking goes out the window when this stuff happens suddenly.

    Just stop already, take your time and write a paragraph or two if you can acualy do it. Still If a tandom locks up you should beable to keep it on its wheels on a strait road.

    Then it sounds like he vastly over corrected. If so, he could be held at fault. Tandems locking on straight road while cruising generally don't automatically cause a roll over.

    Companies see rollovers the same as rear end collisions. As far as they are concerned its completely unacceptable regardless of the situation

    Some of Schneider's equipment looks pretty bad. Just saying.

    Can't deny that. I have seen some rough looking SNI trucks. But I have also seen some pretty nice ones too.

    Not sure about that. If they are it would take forever to notice as many trucks as they have. Someone in the SNI chat room can probably answer that.
