    Been 2 Fedex rigs went through the guardrail and down in the trees at Institute, WV. Both trucks on same grade in same guardrail. Seems to be a pattern.

    That's bad when a carrier has enough crashes, often enough, that they can pre-position safety teams all across the nation to more quickly respond in areas they can be fairly certain they will have a[nother] crash :biggrin_25523:

    They must have a few dozen in-house "safety investigators" living in the Laramie, WY area by this time of year, ready to roll. I don't think they look for ways to stop these crashes, they look for ways to mitigate them and to make cleanup faster and more "cost effective"
