    LMAO at the ignorance of some people. Heres the thing about being named as a defendant.....YOU DONT GET TO DECIDE. Your opinion means NOTHING. This case was a warning to all trucking companies.....you can be held liable even if you don’t break any highway traffic laws. Anyone would have to be a fool to think otherwise.

    I know I don't get to decide ..its just an opinion just like ####### you and everyone else have keyboard warrior. The ignorance of people like you..I investigated accidents for 26 years..did you? Yes my opinion means nothing..its just an opinion.. but its based on experience. you know that's what message boards are for..duh?? I am just stating who the at fault vehicle is..liabality can go either way in front of a jury . Overthinking people like you are the problem..

    The difference being oversize has a different set of rules. We have to shut down before everyone else. You can't compare permit loads required planning with dry van freight.

    A jury also declared oj simpson innocent. Juries often flaunt the rule of law and pass judgement based on their own agendas.

    Id have to see this from a verified source to believe werner has a policy against cbs in trucks. A trainer telling his student to keep it off sure or not installing one at all, i can see that. but company policy? Not buying it without verification.

    According to the info in the original article, the CDL manual in every state requires that the driver slow to a crawl and get off the highway. Same premise as oversize.

    You didn’t say it was your opinion earlier. You stated Werner was NAF like it was fact
