Trucker protest/embargo of Colorado

So professional drivers want to be compared to a guy who made multiple poor decision over an extended period of time/distance and killed four in his negligence?

He knew was having problems controlling speed BEFORE hitting the Evergreen exit and Buffalo Herd Overlook exit. He could have pulled over there without any drama. Instead, he started down from Genesee, bypassed the run away truck sand bed, and ignored lots of green grass medians, probably thinking he could just run it out on the flat.

You can debate the term of the sentence, but this was not a case of a single split-second decision causing an accident on the interstate, or some bad weather incident.

^This is the part I don't get. Professionals wouldn't have burned up their brakes (especially with such a light load) and they would have hit the ramp if their brakes did fail. This guy could have easily hit that ramp but chose to swerve 2 lanes the opposite way and run a pickup off the road instead, then continue on kill people. He made VERY bad choices and that usually ends up with very bad punishment.

Sucks, but such is life.

Professional truckers shouldn't be standing up for this guy. He gives them a bad name.

I tried explaining this to someone earlier. Their conclusion was that I hate immigrants. They literally said “everyone thinks the strawberries are going to pick themselves.” People have lost all ability to reason.

Sounds like an opportunity for more work just appeared for independent O/O's.

BUY TOILET PAPER!!!

Are truckers boycotting Colorado or is it the Union?

With the current political climate being what it is, I'm curious about what and how much professionals really have to say.
