A sad day

[RyanB]

Just writing this in regards to an accident we had here at the trucking company I work for in Ontario. Today we lost one of our drivers in a wreck (not his fault) Anyway, just writing this because I know alot of people on here work or deal with the transportation. Just want to tell everyone to be safe out there and watch out for your self and others..... our guy didn't even see anything until the other truck pulled out in front of him on the shoulder!



Here is a link if anyone is intrested... it happend in Angola, NY.

Sorry for the loss of your co-worker. Thats probably the strongest arguement for wearing a seatbelt.

In my 31 yrs of driving truck I have learned to trust no one. I always move to the next lane when possable or slow down in anticipation of someone pulling out. A train whistle for air horns would have come in handy there.

My prayers are with his family. Last summer here in Denver a tractor trailer driver tried to make a U-Turn (read STUPID Driver) on the E-470 toll way with an exit approx. 1/4 mile away. Just to save paying a $. 50 toll, and consequently caused a fatal accident and roll over of a concrete pumper. It will forever be etched in my mind as the worse accident I have seen in my driving career.
