[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 430311, member: 12508"] I couldn't tell if he was going to pull over. Like you said, nothing but guard rail for awhile. There are not very many safe places to pull-off on Donner...it's too bad this particular driver wasn't close to an escape ramp. I'm not sure if you have them back east, but they are very common out west where the grades are steep and long and strategically placed for incidents just like this one. If you can get to the escape ramp it [I]will [/I]stop you, but you'll probably have to go shopping for a new spine (and shorts). I've driven Donner, and have refused to take a non-Jake equipped tractor on the run because it is so steep and dangerous. I'm guessing that UPS assigns twin screws with Jakes on Donner just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
