What's new

FedEx Freight | 3/14/08 Fedex Nat.Fatal

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.

I did not know this driver but I was told that he was with the company for a long time and was getting ready to retire within a couple months. It is sad to see that something this tragic can happen.

His name is Terry Ingram. He and his wife just bought a new home and were in the process of moving in. His wife Linda was shopping for new curtains and rugs and things and didn't get the news until 7pm friday evening, 16 hours after it happened. He was pulling a 40,000 lbs. trailer with a single axle tractor and couldn't stop when traffic slowed in front of him. he will be missed by all that knew him.

Aside from the tragedy of this man losing his life,this is probably a huge fine and lawsuit against National..40K with a single axle????
 
I have to say this brought a tear to my eyes just thinking of my wife getting news like that. I geuss over the years I have forgotten that each time I walk out of the house could be the last time!
We all get in a hurry wanting to get home to our family after a long week and all it takes is a split second to make the difference between being 15 minutes late or 6 feet under. My best to you friends and family of this driver.:1036316054:
