I was driving on Route 35 yesterday, and watched a Rush delivery van come flying under a overpass yesterday and spun him around and he hit the concrete divider in the middle of the highway. People are always in a hurry and don't get a clue when others are off stuck in the ditch beside the road. It scared me just for the fact that he would of come across a few years ago and would of been in my path!

Looks a little like US 23 just south of Circleville, OH on friday night. Prime rolled it on its side on the northbound side, had a lane and a half block. I counted 8 cars and tractor trailer jackeknifed right behind him. 23 was a sheet of ice in that area friday night.

Huckuva mess..... I've seen stuff like that so many times..... People need to be far more aware of whats ahead of them, and respond accordingly.
One of the worst places in the country after a snowstorm is Delaware County north of Columbus, OH..... those idiots there just plow/scrape US23 and don't put any salt or even dirt on it.... they might just as well do the road with a "zamboni".... Folks....just because your truck will run 65, 70, or whatever....DOES NOT mean you have to do it. Adjust your speed to the ambient conditions!

Three things I try to remember:
1: It isnt my truck 2: It isnt my trailer 3: It isnt my product in the trailer Id rather be late than, like those guys in the video, not at all.
