In your 10 years as a cop, how many rogue semi truck drivers did you have to deal with? That truck is like a fortress on wheels. Even with it disabled, you have be weary of such a large machine.

No TRUCKER really anticipates their trucks being stolen!😢 😢 The truckin community takes care of each other on the road.

[@djfitnus]

Right I find this a horrific ordeal, as this is way over the top even for a stolen truck? The reporting on this is horrible as it doesn't us what exactly happened? It does cover how big/heavy and how DANGEROUS this truck could be if it was able to continue rolling on the highway. My thing is when they say the truck was stolen was it actually stolen or was the driver fired and told to get out the truck with no where to go, or did he quit and before he could get his personal belongings out and the company reported the truck stolen? We know just how well some of these trucking companies can treat us truckers, especially when we don't jump when they say jump or when we just happen to be late for a delivery? In short this isn't a good look for the trucking community as it truly a lot of good drivers getting crapped on by the companies but by or how the community views us as TRUCKERS (all bad situation) with a lot of wholes in the story here.

Yes we do and thank-you because we go through alot. One 9f them is when a car speeds around us and cuts hard in front of us hopping the truck will hit them in hopes to get money and claim life long medical problems that causes insurance rates to skyrocket. Now they have illgeal aliens that come out suddenly hoping the truck stops and force the driver to load the truck with illegal aliens to take them wherever they want. We are actually ambushed by these insane evil trolls and also will make them traffic children against their will. I know all this because my husband is a trucker. So keep our truckers,military,police,fire fighters and all that helps American citizens to survive.

It is possible that the truck was just stuck in gear and idling. Like when you’re in your car and release the brake your car will move without depressing the accelerator. Standard and automatic trucks will both do this if it’s in gear or drive. The fact that the rear axle had the weight of the truck and trailer in combination of the front axle tyres being flat allowed the wheels to spin the whole time. Educate yourselves instead of presuming that the accelerator was either jammed or the driver was on the accelerator.
