      Two of those 4 crashes were not the fault of the driver, 3-1-20 and 5-2-22. Would you want to have your divers license pulled if someone else hit your car?

      your usually on probation for 6 months after a preventibal accident, the data shows that the prior accident was over a year, so he got off of probation before he had another accident. If he had another accident before the 6 month probation ended, then he would be DQ.

      Because when it comes to hiring drivers, Greyhound scrapes the bottom of the barrel!

    I’m a semi tractor trailer driver and I would assume that they’re rules and regulations would be different because you’re not only dealing with the general public as I do, but you are also transporting the general public. He shouldn’t have taken that run if he was tired. But I don’t know what was going on with him.

    I remember last year the media and politicians blaming the truck drivers for parking on the shoulder of the entrance road to the rest area. I stated then if he had hit a tree would the grandstanding state rep propose cutting all trees down.. This driver was anything but a driver and should be charged criminally.

      Concur. I also commented that he was sleeping or distracted and LEFT THE ROADWAY. The trucks were parked on the shoulder. Blame is on driver only!!

      @@bobjones4457 the truck driver that is parked on side of ramp is also at fault, we had a driver from other account got fired after he got hit by a drunk driver, because he was parked on the side of the highway for no reason, and he has no triagles displayed and nothing.

    Sue GH to the max, this is negligence for them not taking immediate action on the bad driver.....operating a Motor Coach or any other heavy commercial vehicle is serious business and incompetence should not be tolerated.

    the truckers should be charged for the accidents because its against the states and federal laws to park trucks on the side of highways, unless its a medical and mechanical emergency and you have 3 triangles set withen 10 minuts that you been parked.

    technically his last preventable was in 2019 and 2018 so saying he was in 4 crashes for 2 not being their fault. technically should have been let go after the 2018 crash. but then again greyhound is notorious for pushing drivers to the edge on their 10hr drive time so chances are fatigue is the common cause here...before you do a report realize the difference between preventable and not preventable.. says not determined but this too is preventable.

      She used the term "crashes" instead of the term accidents. That's how they catch eyes
