Re: YOU THOUGHT YOUR DAY STARTED BAD
The worst part was that it was 0730 and this is one of the busiest interchanges on I-40 (Gallimore Dairy Rd. for any locals) in GSO. We had to close the whole thing, which caused the next interchange to gridlock, which caused 40 to back up, which caused several more crashes.

Randleman, you do your accidents on your computer. We just changed over to that. I hate it. Use to the Old Skool way of doing it on paper with a diagram.

Re: YOU THOUGHT YOUR DAY STARTED BAD
the way truckers get paid needs to change...they get paid by the load...more loads, more pay...faster you go, more loads, more pay...it's a mentality that HAUNTS the entire driving public...
Milliken pays by the hour and strictly forbids drivers to exceed speed limits at risk of losing job...don't know stats, but their safety record ...incident/mileage WAY outruns the national average... If the truckin' industry ever comes to it's senses, our hiways will be MUCH safer...FAT CHANCE ::) ...

As far as diagrams, all the wrecks I do occur on a short straight section of road.

Re: YOU THOUGHT YOUR DAY STARTED BAD
About five years ago I was in Toledo, Ohio.
there was a news report of a steel coil unraveling from the truck and actually decapitated a guy. It happened on a bridge and there was no place to go.

Re: YOU THOUGHT YOUR DAY STARTED BAD
I stayed way back from those rolls, just in case one cut loose.
