What"s the lesson we have learned here today? Never surf and drive.

Ever notice the BBR's that wait until they're right up on your bumper before they pass on a empty highway? Maybe that could have happened here.

I got to see where SCHAFFER rear-ended another truck going up the hill on I-68, a little east of I-79, in WV. I'd heard other drivers talk about one pushing the other up and over the top, but I didn't know they had to take a run at it.:lol: He did a pretty good job on the front of his truck. The back of the other trailer didn't look all that bad, though. And, it happened in DAYLIGHT.

On that hill, you do not have to put any brakes on to stop forward motion. Just back off the throttle.
