[QUOTE="pickup, post: 586556"] Just a related link as the linked article makes a analogy between the driver losing half his load and Yellow losing half its revenue in one year's time. [url]http://www.glgroup.com/News/Is-YRCWs-On-Road-Disconnect-A-Metaphor-For-Their-Business--42238.html[/url] It is just an article from a business journal, and not written by anyone who has anymore info about the incident than you or I. However the link briefly suggests something that really hasn't been mentioned before : union discontent. I wouldn't necessarily go that far, but this might be a case of a driver that became increasingly discontented he watches his pension, wages, and probably, his job disappear. Not using this as an excuse for his actions. Just a possible explanation. If he had really lost it on a highway at highway speeds, that back trailer would have flipped over and would have destroyed the trailer and dumped the contents. How did he keep going on without "noticing"? How did his equipment allow him to continue on? I might be looking in the wrong direction on this one, but it would make a lot of sense if the driver did everything on purpose. [/QUOTE]
