Whoa... TruckBC. Now my feed feels like home.
This is pretty nuts! I've been in the dark all day so this is the first I'm hearing of it. That's some epic damage.

Nice to see TruckBC over here! Hi dude!
-
Well hello there!

Why is this happening so often? This is crazy.

My theory is that since COVID, the bar for how shitty/unprofessional a driver can be and continue to be employed has gone down significantly due to a severe and worsening shortage of drivers.
I know of one driver with 11 points on their license and zero class 1 driving experience that was hired by a reputable company recently. Another one with a rather fresh 2 month suspension and bunch of points got hired by a very reputable company too. Most companies used to want clean record, shady ones would be ok with 6-9 points. Now it's a free for all.
Industry is fucked.

I don't think truck drivers are getting the same caliber of training these days and there are lots of newbies. Too many trucking companies out there, if one goes bankrupt because of a accident like this a new one just pops up right in its place.

How much can they fine the guy for damages?
-
Not much.

-
How does that happen? :s
-
Accidentally leaving your PTO on and accidentally hitting the switch to raise the dump box, and not paying attention and not noticing your box is going up.

@TruckBC strikes (a bridge) again! 😅
-
Haha if I strike a bridge we've got some big big problems considering I drive tankers.

You definitely wouldn't want to meet an unfortunate end like these poor fellows in Pickering, Ontario
