rear ending a truck going up hill on 4 lane easy driving interstate takes talent ...Well atleast evryone is ok even the moron in the bunk with no resraint, So now it's ok to poke fun at these people that should be trading in their CDL for a bus pass .

I'm willing to bet that England had his puter open and was either surfing the net..or watching a movie.

Though those are only assumptions...not fact. :lol::lol::lol::lol:


Dick Simon rear-ended at fueltanker on the I-82 sisters between Ellensburg and Yakima WA back in 96. It was a Lee & Estes "A" train full of AVGas100. Made quite the burn mark on the road and hill. The Simon truck was incinerated.

Dicky Simon there's a name from the past. They also had a driver go nuts in Sacramento at the Gov's mansion a few years back.

Yup...the rear-ender I wrote of was like two days before the trip to the Governor's mansion. Heck of a week for Dicky.

What the heck is it with Utah Based companies and REAR ENDING trucks while going UPHILL. Are they trying to get out the furstration of having their Dispatcher Bend them over and ram it home sans lube everytime they get to the YARD in SLC.

The best part of that story, beside the fact that noone was seriously hurt, is the "Reader Comments". That is some fine humor!
