Guys,
Let's lay off the trucker until we know all of the facts. It is very difficult to get a haz-mat CDL. I gave mine up 6 years ago because I hated all the FED background checks and constant testing. Since he died, there is a good chance someone's Dad won't be home for Christmas. I drove by the sight today and saw the scorched tank cars. One fact that I have not seen in the news is the fact that this did not occur at a crossing. The truck left the roadway, went down the embankment and hit the tank cars. I figure a medical issue aka heart attack or a right front steer tire blow out.
