so we can have a place Like Washington D.C. to put them Shame they can find their way into a truck.

 

It's time to put the bottle down and go to bed! You do have a point tho, I wouldn't know how to feel it it was one of my kids that did that!
Looking at the car it's amazing anyone lived!

 

HELL NO!!!!

This idiot drove for my company, I'm ashamed to say. How the heck he managed to get hired, I'll never understand. Check out this quote from the reader comments:

Dope!?! Really!??!?!!

This sorry excuse for an ex-driver has got me so ###### mad that I had to calm down a bit before writing. The rest of us in the company are trying our darnedest to do our jobs in as safe a manner as we know how, and this guys screws it up. It's not like we don't have a shady enough rep as things are already; he just made things even worse for us.

This nimrod should have never been issued a CDL. IMHO the death penalty is far too humane for this piece of trash

 

It bothers me TA let him leave the lot when they knew he was messed up. Evidently he had some drugs already from the bar. Probably a few shots too many and it hit him all at once. Blackout. When I first read this thread, I had pretty good intuition this is what happened. Such a shame.

I knew a woman that was like him. She would blackout everytime she drank. She ended up running under the back of an 18 wheeler.
