This too me is the most ridiculous part of the story: 'Caminantes Trucking is still allowed to operate on the road today and is still contracting with the United States Postal Service to carry mail. ' So the driver is going to jail (rightfully so) but the people that sent him out with no license and bad brakes, still can keep operating and are contracted with the USPS no less.

From the article: 'The company that owned the truck involved in this crash has a history of deadly crashes and allowing drivers on the road without valid commercial driver's licenses. Caminantes Trucking is still allowed to operate on the road today and is still contracting with the United States Postal Service to carry mail.' This makes it all the more fucked up!

This is how it goes. Even if they shut that number down they'll just get another. Hopefully the families sue and cause them to go under.

And the accident will likely be used to help push self driving trucks by people who will think it'll magically stop the company from neglecting their equipment.

She has nothing to do with other driver's death. She just has a normal DWI charge, not intoxication manslaughter

let me get that straight, y’all telling me the female that was stalled was drunk and arrested and charged with dwi and the man that was driving the Jeep wrecked onto the tow truck and cause his own death. it’s that correct? this article is confusing or am I just not a good reader and dumb af? 🤔

Confused. Was she the driver of the stalled vehicle or the Jeep that hit the wreckers and stalled vehicle? I understood it to be she was in the stalled vehicle, therefore she is at fault for the jeep hitting them? Maybe I misread the article.

I've seen people estimating with their latest test run of jersey barriers and it seems to be around 27k lbs Bobtail so about a 6-7k weight penalty minus the extra allowable 2000lbs since it's an EV so 4-5k. Seem to be small enough that it doesn't hurt profitability too much especially with the fuel savings. Still doesn't explain how they(Tesla, governments, DOT etc) plan to charge trucks that use 50 houses worth of electricity per charge without destroying the energy grid. That's the main issue.

Does anybody have any sort of reliable information on what the cargo capacity of this thing is? I know that legally they can haul 82,000lbs but that’s not what I’m asking. In a reefer trailer, I can load 45,000lbs of product. In a hopper trailer, I can load 52,000lbs of product.

Is that stretch of I-4 between Plant City and Tampa the worst in the nation for crashes? It seems that not a day goes by without a traffic clogging crash on that highway.

Between this area, the 'Malfunction Junction' area, and on i-75 NB, the exit for 279 in Pasco County, we need to do SOMETHING. give semis / box trucks their own extra wide highway that only allows access if over a certain weight / axles. Almost daily, if not multiple times a day there's either a Fatal or otherwise horrific accident at 279..
