    Actually, it was him, first his Uncle (?) gave the original story, then later he joined up and confirmed it and gave more information.

    I have a friend who’s been Driving for 40 yrs. He’s had 2 rollovers within a year. One on the loop in downtown Chicago, the other in a snow storm near ramp for scale house in Missouri, Lol. Never had a problem getting a Job afterwards. He’s a very good and safe Driver, Still runs through Chicago everyday. All I can say is get a good Lawyer. Worth the cost. Best Luck to you. Any major accident usually results in being fired. Often rehired after a year, provided no accidents. Happened to my Father once. After a year they hired him back. Insurance reasons.

    Always that one trucker on here downing others mistakes because they think they're so perfect, but wouldn't admit they've bumped trailers or took someone's mirror off leaving in a hurry....no driver out here long enough is going to be without blemishes....close calls happen to the best of us even while being safe.....

    I have just have experience driving around these drivers. They follow their own road rules always when passing they slam right back in front of you. I live 30minutes from Yuba City so I get to be around Legend alot. Like always the bad drivers probably are the exception rather than the rule but have seen enough to make my decision
