They were not arrested because of the accident but because drugs were found in their cab. Ironically the drugs were pot and magic mushroom. This might explain why they forgot to wind the landing gear up which caught the tracks, causing them to be stuck. At least that's what it appears they did. At least that's my guess.

Scammers will target people that look like they are not from the local area.his is why we decided to talk about the dangers of scams targeting truckers. So, this past week I read an article on how 7 men scammed truckers across Pennsylvania. There are some scams that have been going around for decades.

They will then approach someone telling them that they won the lottery yesterday. They will then tell that person they do not have I.D. to claim the prize. Then they make an offer to the victim.

Beware The Law Is Watching Truckers
07/05/2023 Duration: 48minBeware The Law Is Watching Truckers. In an effort to combat distracted driving, many states have implemented laws that prohibit the use of handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle. However, enforcing these laws can be a difficult task for law enforcement officials, especially when it comes to truck drivers who spend long hours on the road. To address this issue, some states have turned to innovative solutions such as using binoculars to catch truckers who are texting or using their phones while driving. While this tactic may seem intrusive to some, it has been successful in reducing the number of accidents caused by distracted truck drivers. The use of binoculars to catch truckers in the act of texting or using their phones while driving is not a new practice. However, it has gained more attention in recent years as distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of accidents on our roads. Some states have even invested in special enforcement vehicles that are equipped with high-powered b
