    thats sad...and i am sorry for the family for their loss both in death and in life....but factories etc have 12 hr shifts and push mand. overtime....i understand this is a truck ....but changing the rules still wont stop those who drive so tired they fall asleep behind the wheel....it just makes it harder for those of us with enough common sense to stop, make a living.

    My friends are pulling 14hr shifts right now. Does that mean we should regulate them and take their money away? NO. Im truly sorry and sad for the tragic accident it should not have happened.

    Noone mentioned how long the driver was on duty. I can put a sad story with any bad regulation you wanna pass.

    Doctors kill more than truck drivers do and they aren't regulated as to how many hours they can work.


    Here's on to kill you stat also, I was run into at 1:15 in the afternoon head-on by a driver of a 4 wheeler, fatigue could of been a factor, don't know for sure, driver was decapitated.

    Love these morons claiming this guy is suddenly an expert on all things because he lost part of his family in a wreck. How does that make any sense at all?
