    The only thing is that the driver never checked his/her brakes...it is painfully obvious the rear pup locks up, while the front keeps rolling, and the rear pup is the one that broke traction, the front pup maintains line with the tractor. Automatic slack adjusters does not relieve the driver, (MALE OR FEMALE) of daily pre-trip inspections which INCLUDES brakes and the adjustment of the brakes.

    1907 or 2007, the driver is responsible for the rig and all components of trailing equipment...but the union that the FE has probably thinks that the drivers are exempt from anything but balls to the wall driving. I guess that once again, if the word FEDERAL is involved...LET THE PUBLIC BEWARE!

    I don't see the backslash lines for sarcasm...so I hope you're (please note the spelling, options are; you are, you're, your, and yor...pick the one you should have typed)...anyway I do hope YOU ARE not serious in this statement...if you are..maybe this is video of YOU driving the FE accident no longer waiting to happen, which would also explain your (aha different spelling but proper use) defense and complete knowledge of the incident!:biggrin_25522::biggrin_25523::biggrin_25524:

    And in those beyond obvious slick...whether it be just wet and oily (as in first good rain of the season) or ice as it appears, conditions dictate extremely slower driving...especially with doubles or any combination vehicle....

    Automatic slack adjusters do fail and could be out of adjustment due to another faulty brake component . ABS systems rarely fail but they do at times .

    FedEx Ground tractors are O/O although many are owned by fleet owners that hire drivers . The drivers aren't hired by or employed by FedEx

    I've been accused of "speeding" when the roads were snow/ice covered. However I don't care what anyone says I'm not following a line of traffic at 20mph, 30ft off someone's bumper. I'm going to pass them, all of them, and get away from the herd of lemmings. That's how accidents happen, first guy in line freaks out and hits his brakes then it's a chain reaction and someone is going to wipe out. No I don't drive for Fex Ex, I'm an OO. You guys can follow the guy in front of you wearing your fingerless leather gloves and cowboy hat but I'm getting as far from you as I can. Speed does not cause accidents, stupid people do. Just because snow freaks some of you out because your not used to driving in it, others do it daily with no issues. This isn't an insult to anyone, but who's going to do better in snow? A guy from Miami FL, or someone from Buffalo NY or Alberta Canada? Just because a truck passes you and you feel it's an unsafe speed they probably can't understand why you don't pull over and stop being a road hazard.

    Oh and turn your flasher off, we all know it's slick stop being annoying.
