The tow truck driver at the 7 minute mark who jumped out before his rig and the semi plunged off the cliff had to go for an underwear change....
Ive seen a lot in my 33 years driving truck. Have had many close calls. Only one reportable accident when a guy backed out in front of me and I took the ditch. Guy tried driving away till I grabbed the mirror on his pickup. He got an earful. Had a guy come off a side road blow a stop sign and bounce off my tandems once. No damage to my truck. Also bobsledded through the middle of about a dozen cars coming off a 3 mile downhill grade on the interstate once pulling a pup trailer. Road turned into a sheet of ice half way down , when cars started to dance I let off and the jake locked the back wheels . I shut the jake off and used the trailer brakes to keep it straight. Longest 1 1/2 miles of my life dodging cars down that hill.
Distracted driving. Then too, today more and more of the big trucking companies are paying low wages and hiring inexperienced drivers.
