    Lets hope the economy gets better so this driver and the others like him/her can go back to their regular jobs and get out of trucking..

    I have stayed at that Petro in Amarillo twice. Which entrance/exit was they leaving from? The main entrance is large with no major ditches and you exit on the far side which is kindof narrow. You have to swing out pretty wide but there isn't a ditch there. I think its a curb that goes uphill alittle bit.

    Did they hit that curb? You must have been an idiot to flipover at that Petro. That truckstop is very large.

    I'm not suprised, the way some of these drivers go in and out of truckstops, I'm suprised it doesn't happen everyday.

    To clarify where this happened...He was attempting to go out through the northern most entry driveway not through the exit located at the other side of the lot. He claimed that another truck came in and forced him into the ditch but NO ONE saw the other truck that he claimed was there.(He also later claimed that it was a 4 wheeler that cut him off)

    Some people that saw it happen said he was going way too fast in the parking lot on his way out to the ditch!
