I don't know if this will have any relevance but here goes. I was an over the road truck driver for 27 years averaging 750,000 miles each year. During that time I witnessed lots of accidents just after the incidence. I never saw a class a accident, not saying there weren't any just none that I saw. On the other hand travel trailers pulled by vans, pick ups or suv's were a regular occurance. Almost every time the TT operator had passed me miles before the accident speeding and the trailer was wandering behind the tow vehicle. When I say speeding I mean over the 70 mph speed limit. If this has any bearing on the discussion, I don't know.
I too, am an over the road driver.
I call BS on you. 750,000 miles per year? BS!
That is 2,054 miles a day, 365 days a year! Now, you may be a "Super Trucker", but not even you can do that! 150,000 miles a year is a pretty busy year!
averaging 85 MPH 24 hours per day with no sleep or fuel stops. I'm calling shenanigans as well.
