    Deol's been around for a long time, they are a new company cause that's what they do, trash their carrier profile with idiots here on vacation visa's driving with a fake license or whatever, and then just change company names every few years.

    The real question, and this question goes to you MR POLITICIAN, is when is this BS going to stop. We have 2 #### TV shows (highway to hell, heavy rescue 401) making some kind of bizzarre entertainment out of how these idiots think driving a truck is some kind of a video game.

    When I ran Calgary-Van last winter, there were 3 of these idiots off in the ditch every trip.

    Why was he just let go at the scene of the accident!!?? Why wasn't he arrested and charged with careless, reckless, vehicular homicide etc. He was at the stop sign for christs sake.

    People have to wake up, the RCMP is doing the bidding of our crooked govermnet that wants to provide cheap trucking to all the scumbag companies from grocery chains, to oilfield, to grave.

    WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP!!!!!!!

    Why did they not show the film footage when they looked left (south) from the intersection? Can't really make much of a determination of visibility if they don't show what a driver sees when stopped at the sign.

    I wondered that too. I'm not sure, but maybe that truck that was parked on the right as they approached the intersection was still there and would have detracted from what they wanted to show?

    I guess its possible. That stop sign does look pretty obvious. Not like its hidden or anything.

    The social media support in light of this tragedy is something else. The gofundme is over $8 million and not slowing down.

    The stop sign is oversized. It was installed when a similar accident killed a family of 5 20 years earlier at that same intersection, explains the crosses located at the intersection.

    I believe I read the stop sign also has red blinking lights, pretty hard to miss.

    Apparently, you can have a stop sign the size of a billboard, and if you aren't looking, doesn't matter.

    True, soo true, you know I will share this, I was on my bike (motorcycle) about a month ago, and coming down a road that I am WELL familiar with as it's only about 5 miles from my house, and I unexplicedly just blew right through a stop sign, as soon as I got halfway across the intersection I realized what I had done and literally had to pull over and count my blessings, to this day I just can't explain why I didn't stop, just glad someone else wasn't coming the other way!
