Nightmares of trucking


Notice how one driver is wearing a dirty wife-beater t-shirt, and the older guy is wearing a blue plaid shirt.

What you look like counts. Perception is reality.

Thank you for your tribute to the dark side of the trucking industry Dockworker.
In my opinion these types of video's should be required viewing at all truck driving schools before any other instructions are offered to the students.

:1036316054: Dockworker, A huge Thank You for posting these video's. As Apostolic said every newbie need's to see these video's. The motoring public think's Trucking is a cake walk job.:shift:

That's because they suffer from selective vision and hearing.

Most accidents/wrecks I've seen were in Wintry conditions and usually Combos having driven off interstates or jacknifed into medians, sometimes taking 4 wheelers along.
I've never seen one occur, only AFTER occurrence.

The worst, I personally Witnessed

This thread will not be for the squeamish.

I was in my twenties. Climbing Monteagle, TN., before the Interstates.

There sometimes would be twenty trucks or more climbing at the same time in a line.

In 4th., on a straight, still climbing, the opposite switchback was visible.

Truck comes head on, over the edge, Driver jumps, but too late. Bounces off the side of the trailer, arcs over, to in front of the rig, it twists to the Driver's side. Bounces off the ground, the Driver underneath.

Slides down the mountainside, out of view, fuel tanks explode.

All of us kept climbing, there was nowhere to pull off.
