A LOOK AT 2020’S CRAZY EVENTS IN TRUCKING. In 2020 there were crazy things that happened in trucking and TalkCDL Trucking podcast was there to tell the story. The trucking industry seen many violent incidents and one that comes to mind is the Fedex driver that dragged a protester to his death. We were all witness to that crazy night when protesters seemed to scare a truck driver while surrounding his rig. Just like any other man, the Fedex diver drove off slowly not knowing a man was caught in his drive wheels. While protesters banged on his truck to warn him it appears it startled and scared the man behind the wheel, causing him to drive away for hi own safety. It was a sad ending for all that were involved. One man was killed and the other would have to bare the burden of knowing a person died under his truck. I don’t believe the Fedex driver knew what happened and most likely would have never driven off if he knew a driver was trapped in his drive tires.
Another incident in trucking would take place May 31st 2020 on the I35 Bridge in Minneapolis MN when a truck driver pulling a liquid tank found himself face to face with an angry mob of protesters. When he tried to cross the bridge the protesters blocked him and he came to a sudden stop. The police would later charge the truck driver with some trumped up charges. The semi-truck was attacked and the driver was beaten by the crown. At one point people could be heard shouting throw him over the bridge. The police showed up and took the trucker into custody. This was a perfect example of people not knowing what they are talking about. In our opinion, if that truck driver was trying to hurt or kill people, he could have slaughtered numerous people effortlessly. The future of this driver remains to be seen but we are hoping he will be cleared of any wrong doing.
