  1. Yes, Glad You Are Okay. That could have taken a life, our employees are required to wear seat belts regardless of what company vehicle they are in. If we catch a belt latched behind the back it can result in a loss of hours or even termination. We go over this continuously and still we have one that has tried us in the past.

  2. So many lessons to be learned in relation to this tragic event. The hazard of a blind curve was enhanced by the minimal space at the end of that gore. This called for traffic control which I assume was not requested. Our truck would have been behind the disabled vehicle until some form of traffic control arrives. Our drivers are told over and over to request assistance rather than put themselves in danger. Law Enforcement will respond to our location in such situations it may take a little time. Because the majority of other companies tell their drivers to just go ahead and get it rather than wait for backup. In my opinion, they are negligent for putting their drivers in harm's way. Any thoughts and how would you have instructed your driver to have dealt with this type of situation?

     

    I find most companies do not have a plan and have never held a safety meeting. Insurance companies should require these types of safety procedures to be documented. We document everything and hope we never have to present that documentation.
