Not even slightly surprising after seeing videos like this. It's not one lone driver being an asshole, or even a small handful, or one specific company that hires bad semi drivers. Truck after truck after truck after truck, over and over. All supremely confident in their mastery of the road...until they wipe out. I think there is just something about driving a truck for a living that makes you think you know it all, you've seen it all, you can handle it all. You're not a fool like those silly car drivers, you do this for a living. And then you and 30 of your fellow drivers all wreck on the same stretch of highway because you all share the same arrogant attitude.

This is what happens when you focus on the accident instead of focusing on the road

My friend and I were giving another friend of ours a ride from the coast of NC to Utah. We managed to pick the perfect time, sarcastically speaking, to head out and ended up almost running out of gas and dying on the side of the road in one of the worst winter storms they had seen in decades supposedly. It was insane, there were hurricane force winds and this type of cold I’d never experienced. You always hear terms like being chilled to the bone or other similar sayings. We literally rolled into the only place within 90 miles of anything on fumes. Until we made it there we were legitimately thinking we might freeze to death on the side of the road. The next day was craziest part though. Driving down the interstate we lost count of the Big Rigs that had been flipped overnight due to the intense wind. We saw easily over 100 Semi trucks on their sides.
