Using The Runaway Truck Ramp
Topic 25475 | Page 1
I’m almost positive I read no ticket, but the tow bill can be up to $10,000
Cheaper than four lives though.

The person who used runaway ramp. 1.Are they get fired from company? 2. Are they get tickets from law enforcement 3. It effects your CSA score! 4. It gives hard time to get in another company! I wonder after Colorado i70 accident !
Not to sound rude but who cares? It certainly is a better option then barreling down a mountain out of control isn't??

Sung, if you're ever out of control like the driver in that video, the runaway truck ramp is your best option. What happens after that is anybody's guess, but you will have done the right thing. That's the important takeaway from this.
The more important take away. You won’t be spending the rest of your life in Prison for killing someone. I’m sure finding a new career field is preferable to being in prison.

No, I'm with Knight. I drive for their dedicated flatbed division. We are dedicated drivers for "Hydro" aluminum extruders - formerly called "SAPA."
Why do you ask?

Okay, that sounds good. All of Knight's flatbed work is a dedicated account, but Prime is more like a true flatbed job. Knight usually requires that you live within a certain proximity to their customer, so it's a little tricky getting in on their program. Turtle is a flatbed driver with Prime, along with several other members in here.
