Although you warned us about the picture, I was not prepared for that. This poor man. My prayers are with him and his family. May he RIP. As a wife of a driver, this is one of our worst fears.

Could this have been averted if yrc had been paying into the funds. Would this driver have been retired if his time had been paid in full. Who knows just a thought. GOD BLESS HIM.

Something else that bothers me is the fact that the rear vehicle, cab smashed beyond recognition, is identified by company (incorrectly I might add) and the lead vehicle in the crash is not identified by company. It sure looks like a CR England outfit in the lead position to me. I wonder why that detail was left out?

As long as there are Humans operating vehicles there will be Human error,
No matter who is at fault the best thing we can do is express our deepest sympathy's
to the loved ones of our lost brother

Thanks Flap. C B England and Yellow company? At least they made an effort. I just feel a little more attention to detail is in order.

Drivers room talk...so take it for what it's worth...the CR England truck was a student and a trainer.
