This story should get out to anyone who has ever driven a truck (or train for that matter)

A car pulls out in front of you and your heart jumps up in your throat and you pray they can get out of the way or there is somewhere you can go to avoid them (this of course isn’t an option in a train)

Unions push Biden as “one of us”

I wonder how many Union drivers would vote for Biden if they knew about this lie.

" to anyone who has ever driven a truck"... "or there is somewhere you can go to avoid them"

You can't avoid a crash and cause a crash. If you are in the perfect right, you have the legal obligation to maintain control of the truck and do everything in your power to slow/stop your truck while being in control to minimize the crash if it has to happen.

A lot of people don't understand this. I don't drive 18's anymore.

We got to the top of the hill, and it was quite icy. Our car began to slide down the hill, faster and faster, and right into the path of a speeding locomotive.

True story.

I still remember every last millisecond of it.
