This morning another truck rolled over at an offramp @ 400 and 401 (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2012/03/26/toronto-highway-accident.html)
Apparently driving too fast
It seems that one truck per week is going too fast, losing control and rolling over
WHERE are these idiots learning how to drive?
When you go on a curve, slow the F down otherwise you will roll over
It is simple physics
Once again - advice to truck drivers - SLOW THE F DOWN!

These guys should take a lesson in physics as part of their licensing requirements.

Truck drivers are known bullies. They are always making unsafe lange changes, blocking people from merging, etc. They know smaller cars naturally don't want to get too close to them so they take advantage.

Is it that as the weather improves you have more of these?

Just say the current drivers driving arent well trained...just ask the rig owners they even say that pricing for drivers are down since the newer drivers are willing to take wages below they usually get...companies are willing to hire the first driver who would take lower wages no matter how experience they are..if they got a license thats good enough.

So trucking companies pay less for inexperienced drivers
but then pay more in insurance for incompetent drivers
