It's the drivers responsibility for saftey that's why he does a pre trip and a post trip and can read and comprehend English then the da woulda hitbthe break check area and drove slow like the sign said or hit a runaway ramp
And that is ultimately the bottom line, if it's not safe, refuse it. My company will always have the driver's back, and they are constantly doing training and reevaluating. It sometimes gets annoying when I have to repeat the same courses every year but every time I've had to refuse the trip because of a safety issue I have never been criticized or admonished for doing so.If the truck wasn't safe don't drive it.Its cheaper than being thrown in jail for 10 years.Kinda like a taxi is cheaper than getting a dwi or killing someone drunk
That idiot was going 85 in a 45. Said his brakes failed but he still have a jake brake. Went by emergency turnoffs and killed 4 people. Be eligible for parole in 5, I think the 100 years was to much but he should do 20+.
That hill is miles long with a big drop in grade. I don't THINK a Jake alone would be much help. My Trucker friends say there are way to many of these unskilled drivers on the road right now.
You can down shift to slow down. He was inexperienced shouldn’t have been driving big rig. Lack of anybody wanting to drive truck or have a job anymore.

1st of all...Happy New Year everyone.
Elections have consequences.
Has the governor demonstrated his Fellatio skills on this guy?
Before anyone gets their panties in a wad...that WOULD be a legitimate reason for lowering the sentence.
I remember that Air Canada incident, was blamed on a ground crew member not making the correct calculation for metric. That plane landed in Gimli Manitoba, on what had then become our "local" 1/4 mile dragstrip, pilot remembered it from his air force days or something like that, coasted that plane some 350 miles before setting it down.Did he ever admit he actually pulled the trigger? I don't think he even copped to that. Would a commercial airline pilot ever get charged with 120 murders if his plane went down and he survived? CANADA AIR jet filled up with 1700 liters of fuel (or something like that) and the pilot thought it was 1700 gallons! He ran that jet dry at 35000 feet and had to almost belly land it on an old WW2 runway. His fault for not noticing the fuel guage was pegged empty? Lots of armchair quarterbacks here....
We had a dump truck (18 yd) come down the ramp towards the than toll plaza loaded on the Verrazano Narrows bridge and rear end another truck stoped paying tollsYeah, I really hadn't learned anything about this case until this thread came up. I had just heard a few things pertaining to the case in the media. They sure did make it out to be an issue with truck maintenance.
I didn't know his speed. I knew it was down hill. They sure as hell didn't say he drove past runaway ramps.
My thoughts have changed on this issue. I just hadn't invested enough time in reading about it. I quit paying attention to things in the news that didn't affect me personally around Feb. 2020.
