    Saw this online a while ago. It didn't look like the driver was braking at all, but just little turns to avoid 4 wheelers. Medical emergency? Kind of strange. I drive that stretch frequently. Your head has to be on a swivel. Traffic is always stopping in that area.

    My pleasure. I woke up about 0100, WIDE AWAKE, and had a 0400 delivery. I was parked in the dock.

    I thought," Boy is this gonna be fun."

    The way the truck jerks to miss the first car, then he realizes he's in stopped traffic.......so I'm going with full " Oh F " complete panic brain lock.

    Either texting or talking. Maybe both.

    Only half through my first cup of coffee.....cognitive comprehension is probably three cups away! I read it as ..."a while ago".....meaning more than a few hours......

    WHERE'S THAT WAITRESS?????

    Can't even count how many times going up or down I-5 I would see those boys watching "movies" set up on the dash .
