[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 741219, member: 1944"] I sent this to work ahead of my self and at the 900pcm, they used it. And gave me credit for sending it in, LOL. I am at the bad drivers pcm at 910 and they gave it again. While I knew which way they would use it, I had other thoughts, quite in line with Upstates post. The one thing I have learned at UPS is how to drive. And the methods are very good. Some of the other safety crap, not so much. But having driven for several years, I am a very defensive driver (in more ways than one). My thoughts are, no matter how hard they push us, when we are in that truck, we need to be alert. Worrying about how the numbers will look the next day, trying to making it up on the highway, receiving a meassage, a cell phone call, etc. Behind the wheel is not the time. Im not saying any of these things were the cause, we will most likely never know. But anytime the pressure gets to you, and you are taking chances, and being distracted, this could be you, could be any of us. Then worrying about some talking head will be nothing compared to the loss of livelihood, the legal fees, possible jailtime, and the grief of having taken someones life, someones family member. because you looked away for just a sec. My thoughts and prayers are with all involved. We had an incident similar to this a few weeks ago on I-80. A semi took out three generations of people, he did the same thing, in a construction zone. He said he just did not see the traffic stopped. Coming around the curve although work area was posted 2 miles back. That eye lead time we all do, could have been a bump, instead of a fiery crash, and people dead. And yes the comments 705 mentioned were horrible. [/QUOTE]
