Default Nightmares Of Trucking

This is pretty interesting and scary at the same time. Brings back some bad memories of some near misses and horrible things I've seen out there on that road.

As a driver I gotta say that was always one of my worst fears. Big truck wreaks are just plain nasty, we had one here a few months back just up the road from me where a driver fell asleep, and litterly jumped the rig off an overpass, and into the otherside, of the whatever ya wanna call it where the bridge spans over the road then comes back up. There was nothing left, they had to identify the driver from dental records. I have seen some bad ones for sure, we get more then our fair share here cause of the snow, ice, and "Komikazee corner". Thats a section of highway where I-81 and I-86 (ny17) meet and split while crossing the susquehanna river in Binghamton NY all while making the turn to get round the mountain after coming off the other. It a short kind of sharp series of turns thats amost perfectly flat, and not banked.

I love truck driving, I love big trucks of all kind, but you just have to use your head, not your ego out there.
