[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 442351, member: 484"] cement some center managers think they are doing everyone a favor by "reacting" to this type of thing with the actions yours took. several things, speed was not an issue, the damage occurred because it was basically a head on collision because someone that was turning onto the road went wide and into the path of the ups truck. that would not really cause a driver to slow down until he saw the truck pull into his lane. my guess is the dump actually did/could not stop because it was carrying mud, something that is extremely heavy. secondly, the driver was pulling a tp60. that would have added to the braking time of the vehicle. so basically, yeah, our driver saw a truck going into the intersection, where the dumptruck was going to make a right turn into the road. the driver, as our driver entered the zone, went wide into the path of the ups truck. so i would respectfully disagree with your center managers expert opinion as to fault finding. and it would seem that the police would agree about the charges they most likely will bring against the dump truck driver. my thoughts and prayers are out for the family of one of our fallen brothers in brown. may God give them peace and comfort in this time if grief. d [/QUOTE]
