    Cleveland,OH. Semi rolled over on I-90 near Dead Mans Curve.

    Now this is one stretch of highway I can relate to.
    With Overnite I had a line haul trip out to Cleveland.
    And know you gotta slow down to make it through there.

    This is what happens when you hand out CDLs like they are a prize in a cereal box.

    I think this happens when truckers get in a hurry,and are not familiar with the area.

    That's no excuse to speed and/or not pay attention to the warning signs. I've been lost a bunch of times and it never resulted in rolling the truck over. Been late a bunch of times also and I never speed. Just because you can drive the truck doesn't mean you are a driver.

    If you are unfamiliar to the point you think speedlimit and other warning signs don't apply to you, you don't need to be driving anything... Let alone a CMV. When I was a trainer, I stressed this point until a student was black and blue. If a student told me they didn't see a sign or another vehicle, they got kicked off my truck. Nothing is more dangerous than a driver who doesn't pay attention, and doesn't adhere to warning/cautionary signs.

    Rollovers are 99% of the time, the drivers fault. Besides weather, there's no excuse to be in one.
