Hazmat Accidents Questionable
 
Something just don't make a lot of sense! I have been pulling a hazmat tanker for 2 years. Had 1 very minor and I do mean minor accident. Under a 1000 dollars damage. Every law enforcement and DOTS was everywhere. Explaination> making a right turn onto a on ramp, car behind me decided to cut to the right side to get in front of me. Back tandem tires brushed her fender. I got a ticket for a right tail light burn't out bulb and preventable accident on my record. DOT done a total inspection and only found the burn't out bulb. All paperwork logbook and inspection book was current.
Now this is what amazes me. We have a driver 1 year has had 3 major accidents. 2 involving guardrails and 1 a major rollover (hazmat). Hazmat rollover at Westmoreland off ramp Charleston WV. this driver has not had 1 ticket. All accidents were caused by driving to fast. I am puzzled. :?

I am puzzled how this other driver you are talking about has a job.

It could be because of drivers in your company like the one you described is why they crawled up your 5th wheel with a microscope.
