Other truckers and that petition with 4 million signatures applied pressure. It was not his lawyer. Truckers wouldn't deliver in that state. They shut that shyt down.

We don't know if he was speeding on purpose or the truck sped up because of the brakes and mechanical failure. The company should be just as liable if not more. They constantly let these dude's pass and can't speak English. Their mostly Latino, but I've seen Africans, Asians, and Russians.


He was going so fast because he tried to switch gears going down hill. Your not supposed to do that. So he wasn’t in gear and he was trying to slow down causing his breaks to burnout.

I'm wondering why he didn't have a speed limiter on that truck. Almost all companies have that on their trucks.

He was likely going down a steep hill and the momentum is hard to stop a vehicle weighing around 100k pounds. The engine is suppose to have a retardant that makes the truck slow down like how cars have sensors when you are about to hit something.

I don’t know this if this was the case but maybe it was his own truck. If so he would’ve need to have a governor. But I don’t know if it was his own truck. But most companies do have governors on there trucks for insurance purposes.

Didn't read much of the story but asking now cuz I keep seeing like 2 people cry about a truck ramp. Did the area he had the wreck have them? Asking cuz they are so very few of them.

I wonder if the proposed trucker blackout of Colorado had any sway on this decision.

Some of y'all is crazy :mjlol: and a little too overly sympathetic :gucci:

The man killed 3-4 ppl due to his recklessness and ignorance. He deserved jail time 25-40 if you asked me but instead got 10 so let him eat those 10 years, he'll live.

The way y'all simping for him as if he should've gotten no time and just be given a slap on the wrist (probation) charge is ludicrous and remedial.

Nikkas like y'all would just let everybody free it seems, crime or unlawful recklessness be damned. Jeez, stupid assess.
