    You can bet the investigators will check his phone.
    I remember one driver had a horrible wreck because he was updating his dating profile on a website, while driving.
    Another was watching porn movies while driving.

    What a tool, following to close while pulling what looks like a tanker, and kills 8 people one of them being pregnant. This job is getting harder and harder everyday to stay motivated enough to keep doing it

    This is why trucking companies are putting a lot of safety equipment in the trucks (collision mitigation systems,radar,etc.),because some of these drivers are forgetting to keep their eyes on the road and not maintaining a safe space cushion!
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
