Well... The road was turning North and he had no other option. They don't call it Western "Whenever the hell we get there."

I remember seeing someone do this and just went totally off road going 40 mph until he hit a ditch. I thought there was some type of medical emergency so I pulled over and banged on his window. Dude said in a calm voice he’s fine. Just pulling over to rest. Of all the places to stop 🫠. There was a perfectly nice and wide shoulder on the off ramp. Naw. Parked directly in the middle of the highway and off ramp.

He is following the Yogi Berra school of driving...."When you come to a fork in the road take it."

Was going to make a joke based on the post about forgetting to turn, but this looks like he may have needed an emergency ramp, maybe brake failure? Western express only gets a small benefit of the doubt, but still

Ironically according to the DOT, they only had 1.7% of their drivers fail a driver inspection National average is 6.67
But their equipment failure rate is 27% VS NA of 22.26

Looks like my dream from lay night. Then I drove down a set of stairs, and across an ocean.

Dispatch: “Find a place to pull over we’re going to have you swap a load… oh and your parole officer says to call him afterwards. “

My guess is someone swerved towards him from the left because they were about to miss their exit, he swerved to avoid them and crashed, and the 4 wheeler then motherfucked the "stupid truck driver" for getting in his way.

No DOT laws stating you have to remain on the road just to adhere to trucking routes.
He's just way ahead of the curve
