Hey slapstickwilly, Ohio doesn't have a left lane restriction for semi trucks so he is doin nothing wrong if he was riding in the left lane. however he was in the middle lane and the unit was moved to the far side of the interstate for clean up. And most of all have you ever tried pulling a set of doubles acrossed this section of road? Didn't think so. The road has such deep groves in it that it pushes the truck side to side and makes it hard to controll and dangerous. Call O.D.O.T. and complain if you place blame somewhere. And yes if the driver with the suspended license had not been on the road this wouldn't even be an issue.

Also, why do they use sand to soak stuff up? Sand, does not soak things up. Sand is made up of small particles of rock. I've never seen a rock soak up anything either. Why don't they use something which actually ABSORBS liquid?

Have you seen how many FEDEX trucks have been involved in accidents just over the past year or two? They are involved in many, many, accidents. We're not talking the little local trucks....the big double trailers. True, cars cause many of the semi accidents because they don't know how to drive around them....but, many semis drive way too fast on our roads.

hey SLAPSTICKWILLY, where in the hell did you want him to go STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRST WRECK???? Fed Ex drivers are very well trained on their job and people like you are the ones who most likely pull in front of 18 wheelers and think you have the right away. These trucks CANNOT STOP AS FAST AS CARS and sometimes they have to go into the fast lane to advoid STUPID drivers like the one who caused this whole mess. I hope the FedEx driver doesn't lose his job but didbyme is correct, this company doesn't tollerate any wrecks.

I believe the news reports that the FedEx driver was cited...which sadly means he will probably lose his job. They have NO TOLLERENCE for drivers who have any kind of accident.

This whole thing could've been avoided if the idiot with the suspended license followed the law and didnt drive. I hate people sometimes...

whats the chance of the picture they show has a fed ex piggy back in the fast lane where it shouldnt be, their drivers obviously dont follow traffic laws
