true its not always the truckers fault but everyone has their stupid moments while their driving and yes majority of ppl that drive do talk on their cell phones but so do truck drivers and they also have walky talky things and computers and talk on their cell phones as well big rigs and other big trucks need to have their own road because usually when u hear a wreck between a big truck like that and a normal sized vehicle the trucker usually makes it and the person in the car does not so they need a road for just truckers

If you hit thr truck in the rear or drive under it how is it the trucks fault? Some people need to take resonsibilty for there actions and quit blaming others.

from what the family has told me, and him being released so soon with NO major head tramma or anything it was a waist of a flight. all it done was made the family more upset by thinking he was in real bad shape cause they flew him out. and my spelling has nuthing to do with my job performance, you dont have to spell to evaluate someone. ive said my piece on this matter, your probly the one that called for med flight is why your so stongly backing the call.
