So exactly how fast does 76,000 pounds of tractor and trailer need to be travelling to hydroplane enough to create a wreck like that?

 

I been a OTR driver my self I had high winds turn me over that was no fun I glad you lived though this wreck it looked bad.

After I walled away from my rollover I have not driven a big truck and don't want to mabe like me it's time for a job change . the job change was the best thing I ever done.

Good Luck I glad you lived to tell the story I bet US Xpress is not to happy either.

Oh yea I was driving for JCT O/O lease to own truck they were not to happy with me either

 

marv, so what do u do now?

and mega i was going 55 and slowing down while going down hill.. i was fanning the brakes as to not overheat them.

 

You're a walking talking miracle.

 

I am Aircraft Mechanic by trade but after 9/11/01 I was laid off from US Airways In Charlotte NC. Then I went OTR first with Allied Berger that was a BIG misstake I was O/O there lost my AS" then went to work for JCT thing were good with them good money lots of miles but the refer unitwas hard to get use to sleeping with it noise when it was running.
I dove untill 10/23/05 rolled the truck on HWY I-15 thought Fontana Ca I sure you been though there on that day 22 trucks rolled over the wind gusts were 70 MPH +.

The cab of my Freightshacker also came off the frame but nothing like you'r the funny thing about it the stupid dispacher asked me could I drive the truck to the body shop to get it fixed, and also it was not my fault I had a unmarked City Kttty behide me who said there nothing I could of done to stop the rollover she thought I was dead after my rollover the rig was airborn flew at least 30 + feet down the side of the shoulder before it came to a stop they told me it was at least 5 to 10 feeet off the ground it was stiil running the tractor was done for the trailor was nothing wrong with it they just up right it they wanted me to start thre reffer back up I said no way it been laying on it's side for 2 days you can as in the company that way if the motor blows up it on them..

Now back in to Avation working for the Goverment at Edwards Airforce Base Ca working on just about every thing they fly the airlines payed more but at least working for the govement there be a job tomarow untill I retire.
