Without knowing how the accidents happened it is hard to comment other then saying it is real sad it did happen. From personal experiance driving a garbage truck that weighed around 26,000 pounds loaded about 18 years ago I had a couple of close calls myself. One that would be close to this type of accident was once I was headed to the dump with a load, climbed a hill came around a corner and there was a little tractor poking along. Now I was going slow since I just climbed a hill and going into a twisty road, no more then 3"rd gear. I hit the brakes, might have made it to a stop in time maybe not but just lucky there was nothing comming the other way and I was able to pull around it but got the heart beating. Now if a semi came around a corner or over a hill and a wagon was in the road the driver of the semi would be hard pressed to stop intime. If not able to go around then the ditch would have to be the next choice. There is no doubt a person has to be awake and alert when driving a truck or any vehical as far as that goes and not be in a hurry. Even when going slow sometimes them situations come up and you have to make that split second decision what to do.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
