With the number of Semi's I have seen at that very spot looking just like that I think they need to Ban them . There are other safer roads to use. That would be even faster.

    From what she said in the video that was not his fault but instead of the typical car driver who has little patience and cut him off.

    If I was to post dashcam videos everytime I got cut off by cars I would never get anywhere.

    Even if it was the cars fault still think that spot trucks should not use.

    When I was loading a lot of trucks I would guide them out of town even had a Map for them to use. Made sure that onramp should not be used.
    There are safer and faster ways to go.

    Even had a Middle easterner come back and say his load shifted while going around a corner. It was that very one. I loaded the trucks so each bundle locked the other one is. The lad was all busted up it was leaning so bad to one side that I'm surprised it did not fall over on level ground.

    He ended up paying to be reloaded.

    Trucks wreck every day, a lot on turns as well. The Rt322 and I-81 junction tamp going north to west in Harrisburg PA has claimed a ton of trucks, on west about 15 miles the Clarks Ferry bridge had claimed a lot of trucks as well.

    If we banned trucks from every turn we wouldn?t be able to go anywhere. Look at it like this, banning guns because people die from gunshot wounds isn?t the answer just as bannin trucks from every olace a crash happens won?t work.

    In some places that have a lot of repeat truck rollovers the state erects new signage and flashing lights, while not 100% effective it works. Just like this accident, a car cut him off and caused the wreck, maybe if the signage slowed him down he wouldn?t have flopped it over.

    But I have another idea, how about arresting agressive drivers and making them walk, truckers and car drivers, arrest all of them.

    I have taken that on ramp in a Military truck With a D7 on the Lowboy. Not fun and I had two Pilot vehicles to keep the idiots off of me.

    Did not have much of a choice where the Reserve center was this was the safest way to go. But they have now move and have a Much easier way to get around.

    This one was a rare wreck where a car caused it the others were trucker going to fast.

    On that road about a 1/2 mile back if River Rd which leads to Northwest Expressway. Easy on and off for a truck. I would say 99 percent of the drivers pass right by this cause their GPS leads them to where this truck Wrecked.
