Bad Driver - This Is Why Trucking Leaves A Bad "taste" In Some People's Mouth
Topic 1787 | Page 1
Well, you are probably correct, but until we find out the cause, I am withholding judgment. It was probably human error, but it could have been mechanical.

you say this is a bad driver ok thats your opinion,youre doing exactly what the news, fmcsa ,and government wants you to do see truck accident blame driver.
now heres the possibilities of what could have happened brakes gave out,steer tire blew (with 80,000 lbs that stinks bad at times its not like a car ),a car cut him off its in the middle of a city mind you.
now please think of what you said before going and blaming a driver its not the drivers giving the bad name its the press and govnmnt pushing false facts that do it.

Yeah there could be a lot of reasons this event occurred. Just don't believe everything you read from the media.
Hey folks, just to let you know...please don't be so defensive in my post.
There was nothing in my post itself that implied driver error. Dave & Rebel - I am neutral concerning this incident.
Though I would like to point out, that this state (California) is one of the most unfriendliest to the trucking industry and incidents such as this (whether driver is at fault or not) painstakingly makes for more laws and legislation against current and future drivers.

Maybe the fact that the subject you put was "Bad Driver - This is why Trucking leaves a bad 'taste' in some People's Mouth" .... that doesn't sound that neutral
