Sounds like a Tier 3 hit from behind.

Deplorable.
So nice of the company to send out its thoughts to the drivers families in the press release.
Of course they made sure to include that they would work with shippers on claims for any impacted packages.
My thoughts are with these drivers families. Embarrassing.

like this is why I hug my wife and daughter extra hard before I leave every morning. Unfortunately we work in a profession where tradgities like this can happen. Thoughts and prayers to the families.

I heard about this shortly after it happened from one of my sleeper team buddies. From what I have learned it was a sleeper team from Jacksonville, Florida who picked up a load off the train in Mesquite, Tx, and was on their way back to Florida.

Nothing either in ours. That says volumes to me how this place is in the grand scheme of things.

ENOUGH ALREADY!
Quit the petty bickering PLEASE!
2 of our Brothers died burning to death!
We can only imagine the poor soul in the sleeper being woken up by the sound of the impact, and his last moments burning to death!
Please observe a moment of silence for loss of our Brothers.
Please help the families develop the strength to handle this sudden and tragic loss of their Son, Husband and Father. Hope their suffering was short and not prolonged.
My condolences to their Co-Workers as well.
Also remember, this could be one of us tomorrow, next, week, next month or next year, you never know.
We shall miss you now, but one day may get to meet you.
RIP Brothers!!

The names of the 2 have been released but not sure if they can be posted here.
a basic search will pull it up.

I decided to delete 33 off-topic posts in this thread out of respect for its original intent. We lost two fellow workers in a horrible accident, we need to keep that in mind. Condolences to the families and friends of these two men.
