what a jackoff.

it's idiots like this, that make me so happy i am no longer driving. i hated talking to some people as when they'd hear i was a trucker, they'd almost always ask, "hey did you see the big wreck, on such and such news"?

"nope, never heard of it"

i hope he got fired.

that's been my "saying" for years now, everytime i see a moron do something like this.....they do not need to be driving trucks.......not even a "Mr. Frosty Ice Cream truck"

In the end you have to feel for the guy. No one was hurt and a momentary lapse of judgement/attention sure messed him up. Would be sad if he lost his job because of this.
