  One day I was behind one of those trucks going up that same him and they were cris-crossing from left to right going up that same hill.
  Lucky thing no other vehicle was coming down the hill it would have been a disaster.
  Those foolish drivers are crazy driving so and risking their lives and the lives of others and the pay they receive is garbage.
  The company need to get trucks with 4-Wheel Drive that can climb hills with ease.
  All the money they’re making here and they would buy the important stuff that they need. It will cost them for being cheap.

    The driver was doing his job to get up the hill. nothing about "crazy" obviously you don't know shit about trucks and vehicles. You already established that da trucks no good n da company needs new trucks "that can climb hills with ease".
    Then why u gone to further dissing the drivers when they only working n doing the job with 'what they have'. Smh. some of yall just like talk n type without thinking.. o_0

  That was a close call. Good thing there was a guard rail. My heart would have flew up in my throat if I were the driver.

  Luck was on the driver side this time, at least once a month, that truck does stall going up that hill, especially when it loaded. Hope they learn from this.

    @Hmmm, the Driver skated on very thin ice. The owner of the truck can continue to play around with that truck. You are so correct, yes, at least once a month that truck is always stalling out going up that hill. I hang back if I am driving behind that truck. Lol, you can’t blame the truck, the truck is getting old and tired from climbing the hill.

  Those trucks dont have the horsepower and gear ratio for the load that they carry...Them need to buy proper american trucks instead of those cheap arse japanese trucks

    I think in my humble opinion that Japanese made might be better than USA. If you had say China then I would agreed with you.

  They have laws other places that you can't bring a car into the country older than 10 years old.
  There are too many rejected US and China cars here. Someone going to get hurt.
  The worst offenders are the people with money bringing in these wrecks and flipping them.
  
  Pass laws to stop this!

  If I was driving the truck I would have hightail it out the truck once it start heading towards the guard rail. The truck and whatever was in the truck can be replaced, not a human life if the truck had gone over the cliff.

    For real, I would have open the door and leap out the truck once it start rolling down the hill backwards towards the cliff. Ain’t no guarantee the guard rail could have stop the truck from going over the cliff.
