poor driver

We used to have a small fleet of road oil tankers come into our shop for service. That stuff is nasty.

We are only a very small company,as compared to yours,so i am honered,that you even talk to us,thanks man,for your important time and input,wish it was like that here in england man.we run a 7,500kg M.A.N.germananys best,and some smaller british trucks,they are crap,but cheap to fix,hehe,the M.A.N, has an american alloy slider body,great kit man.

Well as long as you enjoy what you do it doesn't matter how big or small your company is.

[freighttrucker]

hi again,just wondering,do you build your tucks,or buy them in,we used to make our own,but the reg's here just got too complicated man,not really worth doing that now.

[abramstowing]

we buy our trucks, they are mostly Vulcan and NRC wreckers

[abramstowing]

well checkout or website and tell me what you think.

[freighttrucker]

well,thanks for being honest,i have been out to thousands of wrecks,and lots of times,sad to say,it's the truck driver's,just falling asleep at the wheel,or on there cb's,but as a recoevry company for almost twenty five years now,i welcome your honesty man,thanks from england,heheh,i normally dont chat with like minded folks on this thing.

[freighttrucker]

Well,yes,i understand that man,,,but dont always put the blame on the car drivers,,,over here,we wont let the truck drivers ever get tired and make mistakes,well it happens,but not too often these days,,the tacho sorted that one out man,and glad to see it too,took far to long to become law here man,thanks agian bro's,,same job,,,miles appart man.

[abramstowing]

Well I don't blame it on the cars, only mentioned statistics that 1 of 3 are caused by cars. I think it is mostly the fault of the truck drivers.

[freighttrucker]

I have never crashed a truck in my life,been doing this work for twenty two yaers now,and yes i am a recker driver,these guys who blame the car drivers are just looking to pass the blame on man,i would never blame a dumb car driver,for causing me to reck my truck man,agree????.

[abramstowing]

Well a little statistic about the area this accident happened. It's Highway 401 at Keele street it gets an average of 500,000 vehicles a day and is the busiest stretch of highway in North America. So with that much traffic something has to go wrong.

[freighttrucker]

well,thanks for the comments,i stil think the rigs in the us,and canada,like auzz,are just to long to control man.we dont have recks like that here.

[abramstowing]

In Toronto we do a few large truck wrecks a week. The same week of this tar tanker we did another tanker loaded with liquid sugar that rolled in the exact same location.

[freighttrucker]

These multi axle trucks seem to fall over a lot man,thats why we wont use them in england i think.

[abramstowing]

Most truck accidents I think are during the day on dry pavement so some of the causes could be speed and the other could be cars cutting them off. In Ontario 1 out of 3 truck accidents are caused by cars

[abramstowing]

Well we had to put sand down to absorb the tar then sweep it up but because the tar was so hot when it hit the road some parts of the highway had to be repaved
