    After 19 years of trucking, I quit 4 years ago BECAUSE of other truck drivers. Many of them are brand new to trucking and after just 2 weeks of driving school, and maybe one week of orientation, they think they know everything! Flip-flop wearing, wannabe super truckers, watching movies from their iPads on the steering wheel, taking their breaks on the shoulder or in the fuel lanes.. yeah, there’s a reason why freight and insurance rates are sky rocketing for carriers. Not only that, but Bonehead Truckers RUclips channel is making a killing 😅 I’m going to hate hearing what caused this crash, but I’m afraid I already know. My condolences go out to the families nonetheless.

This is just NOT an Amazon problem, but a problem with the entire industry, which is controlled by greed stricken criminals and populated by people who really shouldn't be driving tractor trailers, let alone be on the road.

    Few things... As a person who drove big truck for over 30 years .. This is always something that hurt to see.. Almost all Truck drivers work 70-hour weeks.. It is a good, but hard life..
    I went into management after I got out of the truck and spent 20+ years in management, now I consult on Dispatch ELD's and safety issues.. That truck had a dashcam, and if was a company truck it also had a camera facing the drivers.. Amazon Safety dept wil be going through that, as well as all the telemetry that is collected by the ELD Device that is hooked into the tractor's computer system.. It is hard, very hard for those that have to do that..
    I pray for the drivers family and friends and for those truckers that saw this happen as well.. it haunts you for ever.. It sticks into your head, nothing you can ever un-see.. I have seen some bad accidents, big trucks and cars where ppl lost their lives.. It never leaves you.
    I always keep all the professional drivers out there in my thoughts daily.. Always tell them to be safe, have a safe day.. My prayers go out to everyone affected by this. Please be safe out there.

      It was a blow out on a steer tire. Driver error for sure. Trucks cannot be controlled at all if that happens. It will turn into an oval, rip the hood of the truck off and rip the steering wheel out of your hands. Instant death.
      Pre-trip and post trip inspections are a no brainer for experienced drivers. Thin tread on a steer tire is extremely risky. If you look at truck tires while at a red light, usually you'll see good thick tread up front.

    As a truck driver myself in the Inland empire. There has been three times AMAZON truck drivers have nearly caused deadly accidents by unskilled drivers. Twice I’ve had Amazon semis that were on the freeway shoulder at a stop, suddenly move into the slow lane and forcing trucks going 55 mph to swerve or slam on the brakes. ( 60 freeway east bound by the fifteen) then last week going up the 15 freeway towards Victorville an Amazon truck was merging onto the 15 freeway from the left lane and without warning swerved over 4 lanes in a row with no turn signal cutting me and 3 other vehicles off without a care in the world. Almost causing a major accident. He just had to get over to his exit almost totaling a lot of vehicles. Crazy

      The tractor hit the pillar, which forced the tractor into the left side of the trailer (at that point, the cab probably detached from the frame, since it's only fastened by four bolts so that it can "bounce" on the air ride), and the contents of the trailer didn't get the memo about the sudden stop quickly enough, thus the momentum carried them through the front of the trailer.

    A vast majority of tractor trailers people see on the road aren’t actually Amazon associates. Amazon will hire third party companies that employ drivers to make most of their deliveries. However Amazon does have associates that are CDL holders but most of them will only make trips that are 2-3 hours in one direction since they work 10 or 8 hour shifts. The drivers that are directly employed by Amazon are held to a higher standard because Amazon insurance would have to cover any accidents which is why you’ll rarely see them in accidents.

    Fellow drivers, please be aware that arched overpasses will not necessarily be marked correctly outside of the lanes. So, if you're outside of the lanes, either too far right or left, it's likely to be too short.
    I don't know why they're measured from the lanes and not to the lowest part of the bridge near the shoulder, but especially be cautious if pulling over to the shoulder under an arched bridge, unless it's marked as being over 1' above your rigs height.
    That doesn't seem to be what happened here. Just warning new drivers who might not know this.

    Last night, I saw an Amazon driver pull up to the fuel islands & went inside & bought a 6 pack of tall Bud Light. He drank 2 of them on his half-hour break.
    I got all the info of the truck & trailer. When he left, I called the State Patrol & reported him. This industry has more than enough accidents from distracted driving. We don't need to drunk driving to the problem.

    I'm a long-time truck driver. Here's my "hot takes" on Amazon drivers..
    First, most are foreign people - no slap at that, but the fact remains that many can't speak English (as is REQUIRED by federal law), don't understand basic traffic laws, and basic physics involved with trucking.
    They are owner-operators, meaning they own the truck and drive it. Most are little better than junk. Being foreign, they don't understand our monetary system; we usually get paid per mile, and most O/Os won't touch freight today for less than $2.50-$3.00 a mile. Amazon pays considerably less than that, and these foreign drivers seem to think that $2,000 for a 2,500 mile run is good, but forget to factor in things like fuel - they just see that big number up front.
    Most Amazon truckers are inexperienced, most with less than 2 years experience, many with less than one year. This creates even more problems.
    Condolences to the families, but I can't say this surprises me - what does surprise me is that there aren't MORE crashes like this involving Amazon trucks......
