I've seen and heard of this happening plenty of times! Drivers get too comfortable when driving in a pack with their fellow co-workers. The driver in the rear puts too much trust in the guy leading the pack. It seems like if there is ever any horse play going on while driving, this is the time. The next thing you know, an accident happens!

I heard we had a guy tip a truck over today. I haven't gotten any details, but that's what I heard.

Well, since everybody is chomping at the bit to hear about that^^^ (lol), yeah, it was a senior driver, driving someone elses truck. He's still there, but he got a couple days off. The truck is being fixed, too. Should be a couple days, I think.

I usually try to roll solo. safe but then again it depends on how awake I am |
