After 19 years of trucking, I quit 4 years ago BECAUSE of other truck drivers. Many of them are brand new to trucking and after just 2 weeks of driving school, and maybe one week of orientation, they think they know everything! Flip-flop wearing, wannabe super truckers, watching movies from their iPads on the steering wheel, taking their breaks on the shoulder or in the fuel lanes.. yeah, there’s a reason why freight and insurance rates are sky rocketing for carriers. Not only that, but Bonehead Truckers KZitem channel is making a killing 😅 I’m going to hate hearing what caused this crash, but I’m afraid I already know.

Few things... As a person who drove big truck for over 30 years .. This is always something that hurt to see.. Almost all Truck drivers work 70-hour weeks.. It is a good, but hard life.. I went into management after I got out of the truck and spent 20+ years in management, now I consult on Dispatch ELD's and safety issues.. That truck had a dashcam, and if was a company truck it also had a camera facing the drivers.. Amazon Safety dept wil be going through that, as well as all the telemetry that is collected by the ELD Device that is hooked into the tractor's computer system.. It is hard, very hard for those that have to do that.. I pray for the drivers family and friends and for those truckers that saw this happen as well.. it haunts you for ever.. It sticks into your head, nothing you can ever un-see.. I have seen some bad accidents, big trucks and cars where ppl lost their lives.. It never leaves you. I always keep all the professional drivers out there in my thoughts daily.. Always tell them to be safe, have a safe day.. My prayers go out to everyone affected by this. Please be safe out there.

Twice I’ve had Amazon semis that were on the freeway shoulder at a stop, suddenly move into the slow lane and forcing trucks going 55 mph to swerve or slam on the brakes. ( 60 freeway east bound by the fifteen) then last week going up the 15 freeway towards Victorville an Amazon truck was merging onto the 15 freeway from the left lane and without warning swerved over 4 lanes in a row with no turn signal cutting me and 3 other vehicles off without a care in the world. Almost causing a major accident. He just had to get over to his exit almost totaling a lot of vehicles. Crazy

It was a blow out on a steer tire. Driver error for sure. Trucks cannot be controlled at all if that happens. It will turn into an oval, rip the hood of the truck off and rip the steering wheel out of your hands. Instant death. Pre-trip and post trip inspections are a no brainer for experienced drivers. Thin tread on a steer tire is extremely risky. If you look at truck tires while at a red light, usually you'll see good thick tread up front.

A vast majority of tractor trailers people see on the road aren’t actually Amazon associates. Amazon will hire third party companies that employ drivers to make most of their deliveries. However Amazon does have associates that are CDL holders but most of them will only make trips that are 2-3 hours in one direction since they work 10 or 8 hour shifts. The drivers that are directly employed by Amazon are held to a higher standard because Amazon insurance would have to cover any accidents which is why you’ll rarely see them in accidents. I directly worked for Amazon and they paid me to get my CDL and also paid for it, but I no longer drive semis

Sad to see this. I work as a truck driver, but it’s also not surprising considering it’s an Amazon trailer. Most of these are being pulled by independent contractors and I see far too often them speeding and driving reckless.

Depends. Amazon does own its own tractors as well as leases vehicles. Accident looks to have been contractors as Amazon CDL drivers don't team drive.

I was on the nj turnpike coming from md to ny early after 3am this morning and an Amazon 18 wheeler was swerving all over the road nearly hitting a car parked on the shoulder at one point. Me and other cars/trucks had to keep flashing our high beam at him because he was taking up multiple lanes. Same day delivery while convenient needs to be revised by Amazon because its really a challenge for drivers to meet demands. Not just for Amazon OTR drivers but truckers in general

Well duh.... Worldwide, about 55 million people die every year. That's around 1.74 people per second. How many of them do you give even a passing thought to??? Not very many. Neither does anyone else. You're literally just like everyone else. Except you try to make others feel bad. It's you that should feel bad for not giving a damn about almost all deaths, while trying to make yourself feel above others.

Some areas of interstate highways have barrels filled with dry sand in front of the bridge supports to serve as a safety barrier for a careening/out of control vehicle. I wonder if that could have saved lives in this case?
@danlowe8684

They usually don't install attenuators as long as the fixed object is beyond the 30-foot clear zone, which the bridge pier is beyond. Of course, more comes into play such as traffic volumes, accident history and layout of the road. But being that this is a straight section of road in a rural area it wouldn't warrant protection.
