This driver is in big DO DO! He has 5 moving violations, 1 not wearing a sealbelt, 1 improper Lane violation, what next? Most companies will not hire you with 3 or more in 5yrs. He has 7 Total tickets, Not Good. He is DONE, Trust me. The only thing he can hope for is staying out of jail, or keep his insanity. How can you speed in a conway tractor? He was going uphill. Conway has the slowest tractors I even drove, they just turned them back again. (speed) He must have been distracted. When I worked there I would talk on the cell phone half the way back to fellow drivers (one a women) just to keep from being bored and gettiing sleepy. I still talk to fellow drivers for up to 1/2 hr. at any one time to break up the bordem, since driving all night get loney. Imagine his next application he fills out and it reads, I killed 5 people, I have numerious tickets (7) and counting in the last 10 yrs. Oh by the way, I was replaced by a driver when I worked there who dumped his set because while he was cleaning his glasses, he went out hurt, then quit. I have 0 tickets and accidents. I take my time, stay in my lane, look far ahead, do not ever tailgate, and try to stay awake, that does not ever happen, I pull over for 15min. Be Safe.....

Conway trucks are set at 62mph....so how could he have been speeding? These trucks can't even do the speed limit????? The article stats that the pick up rear ended the flatbed first...so I am going to assume they were speeding and not paying attention also??
My husband drives for Conway and I have meet several drivers out of many different terminals. These drivers are the most caring people I have ever met. I drive I-70 & I-57 (in my car) alot and I see Conway drivers on the road and I have yet to see them do anything wrong.
As for the drivers talking on their phones....hello they have bluetooths that means hands free to be on the wheel. With a CB you have to reach for the mic, press the button then talk..oh did I mention Iam pretty sure you would have to do this with at least one hand..right. So you can figure out whats safer.
Does it really matter how many tickets a driver has. My husband has drove for Conway for 10 years and was both ticket and accident free until this year. For 2 nights in a row I listened to my husband B---H about the tires that were on that trailer and the third night he had an accident, no one else was involed and thankfully he wasn't injured. But it took a few months for us to get through it, still does'nt make any sense how it happened.
My heart goes out to all involved. I can't even begin to imagine what this driver is going through.
Conway has the best they are all like family no matter what terminal you are out of. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you drivers.
ONE LAST THING 4 WHEELERS GET THE F--K OUT OF THE WAY, that would help!!!!!!!!

That being said, my thoughts and prayers are with all involved. May God bless you all.

| | Hobart family killed in crash was on way to visit grandmother, Disney World / nwi.com
The semi driver, George A. H, 46, of Elkhorn, Wis., told police he felt something hit him from behind and later realized it was a Dodge pickup truck carrying the Workman family.
Another semi with double box trailers was also in the right lane when he approached the stopped traffic in front of him. That driver -- Forest E. S, 58, of Huber Heights, Ohio, could not stop in time and hit the rear of the Workman's pickup truck, pushing it into the rear of the first semi.
