the driver and the owner of the company should be hanging from a tree .... barbaric animals
Doesn't matter who points the finger at who. Nothing will change when it comes to the way Dominican truckers drive. If you've ever met one/ sat down and had a converstion with one....Of course they are saying it's the authorities' fault this happened, nothing to do with the truck driver.
One of the things that depresses me the most about living here.Doesn't matter who points the finger at who. Nothing will change when it comes to the way Dominican truckers drive. If you've ever met one/ sat down and had a converstion with one....
you would understand why.
interesting. I would like to hear more. I notice some trucks (tractors) are shined up like the hope diamond, custom paint jobs and decals. Most however are put back together and clearly missing parts. I don't think tractor trailers should be allowed on George Washington as it is such a scenic road. I have a touch of truck knowledge as it relates to shipping via a low boy trailer.Doesn't matter who points the finger at who. Nothing will change when it comes to the way Dominican truckers drive.

The carnage I've seen on 6 de Noviembre is unsurpassed in my lifetimeFWIW, this made the news because a lot of lives were lost. Both Carretera Sanchez and the Nov. 6 highway are meatgrinders; both have accidents daily.
And almost all of them are either excessive speed and/or losing control.The carnage I've seen on 6 de Noviembre is unsurpassed in my lifetime
Driving trucks (or cars, or motorcycles for that matter) always seems to be the occupation they pursue.
I did not want to believe it, but I think the DR has been the leader her for a while now... Indeed, go to any African country and based on this, you're much safer than in the DR...![]()

Haven't seen anything else in the news other than he's detained at the Centro del AutomovilistaHas the driver made any statements? Has the Civil Defense hypothesized about what he did?
Sometimes I really just read the news. If I'm really looking, I may Google something, well at least for the past 26 years.Has the driver made any statements? Has the Civil Defense hypothesized about what he did?
We don't know about the roadworthiness of the truck in this case. It may have been perfect. I used to own a transport company back in the UK. My trucks had to be of the highest standard. If one of my drivers lost control and ploughed into the back of a line of traffic, I don't see why I should have been "hanging from a tree".the driver and the owner of the company should be hanging from a tree .... barbaric animals
I don't know what your back in the UK story has to do with DR, but you do realize the law here is go after anyone that can pay.We don't know about the roadworthiness of the truck in this case.

The reason I mention my past is that I feel that it would have been wrong to suggest that I should be executed if one of my drivers killed somebody due to bad driving. I apply that same principal to whoever owns the truck that crashed in the DR. Get it?I don't know what your back in the UK story has to do with DR, but you do realize the law here is go after anyone that can pay.
