Saw two pup trailers in Chicago this week that looked like they were on there side, hope whoever went over is alright.
 
It was a hand out of chicago. He had a schedual Minny half way meet, and rolled them up by Portage,Wi. No major injuries from what I heard, but he no longer has a job !! Good he is ok, but he has a task ahead of him trying to get employment, coming off a wreck
 
Rollovers are worse than a dui. Maybe he can get it dropped in court to something small or wiped off his record. The thing is, where else is there to work??
 
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but unless you had a heart attack or other sudden medical affliction, there is NO excuse for rolling a set, EVERY driver I heard of at Con-Way and Estes, that rolled a set, was at fault. People need to remember, the posted speed limits are for CARS unless otherwise noted! A 25mph off ramp should be 15-20 for a wise LTL driver! Etc etc etc! High winds? SLOW down, or shut down! Icy conditions, same thing! NO EXCUSES! SAFETY FIRST!

Do you work as a safety man in your off-time....LMAO..
 
If he got a ticket, he could probably get it taken off his record, but the accident, is there for at least 3 years, and he is trying to hire in on it. Had a friend that this happened to and he had to suck it up and really swallow his pride as to who he could apply to,(even with 25 years experience) and he ate sh-t sandwiches for a year or two

I rolled my back pup 2 months ago. I still have my job and big e called it non-preventable. There was a drunk driver involved. Nothing I could do. I got no citations.

So now not every driver you've heard of was at fault.

That advice will eliminate 95 percent or better of the roll overs though....good advice..more need to follow it
 
just use commen sense and take it easy. the freight will get there when it gets there. im not killing myself or anyone else to be billy big rigger. by the way, read conways thread. there putting cameras in the trucks. i guess were next.
 
We only hire professionals. No need for cameras or electronic gadgets to keep us rolling
 
Those camera's would work both ways.... yes against you, if you are at fault with something. But they could come in handy to show the cops just how bad you got cut off by the dumb -ss four wheeler, and had no choice, but hit something. I'm thinking strongly of getting one myself for this reason
