    that was last week and of course they blame the truck..... however........ there happens to be a very busy on ramp there with an acceleration lane thats about 2 car lengths long before you run into the overpass ......so the transplant commuters from ny and new jersey come right off the ramp without stopping with many jumping right out to the hammer lane and cut right in front of oncoming vehicles without looking no matter whats coming

    More fodder for EOBR's and control over trucks and drivers.Even if the driver was not at fault, it involved a truck,and thats enough for them.

    A truck going too fast on I80 leading to a crash.. Never..lol..

    All kidding aside, I've watched it with my own eyes for too many years. I would have my 62 MPH truck pegged in the 50 zone with other trucks pushing me out of the left lane.

    If he caused it which my experience at that MM says he did - cutting into the right lane on a tight left curvre - he should loose his ability to drive a truck. I'm tired of it..
