This happens too often.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

1- Pack it over capacity
2- Drive it faster than you can
3- If amphetamines don't help you to focus, they will help you to runaway
Supposed to bring financial success, and 36 times the pot of shitfuckery when it's not.
Too much in a greedy hurry for most.

As a Cambodian road user, who has often dealt with truck drivers who don't have a clue, this does not surprise me.
The thing is that you don't need any sort of driving experience or a driver's license to be a truck driver - you can be totally off your tits and no one cares or checks. Except that sometimes the police do a truck driver drug control every couple of months or so.

The driver doesn’t care, except when it goes wrong. Doesn’t get paid.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 8:05 pm As a Cambodian road user, who has often dealt with truck drivers who don't have a clue, this does not surprise me.

The company who run the vehicle don’t care, except when the vehicle gets trashed =$$$out, not so much $$$in.
The company that hired the transport in the first place don’t care. So long as the product goes to the end customer. Duty of care is a 1st world issue, probably.
This can’t be the first time, so those on board have decided to turn a blind eye (albeit, understandable).
The authorities don’t care, or else it wouldn’t and couldn’t keep happening.
I’m sure I’ve missed one or two…

I hope the 27 workers have a speedy recovery and can return to work soon. I also hope that the injured workers have their medical bills paid by the transport owner.
I don't wear this because I seem to recall that new laws we're brought into place, about the transport and that of its driver's, here we see once again "unidentified driver fled the scene" why is he unidentified, was he not employed by the transport company or truck owner. The factory owner too has his/her workforce down because of this incident. Losses all round, apart from the incompetence of the driver, and his employer.
