She's funny to listen to - they have their own language. She says, " I was driving truck at 16," but says, "I was a bus driver ..." I don't know why being a truck driver is referred to as "driving truck" but being a bus driver is referred to as, "being a bus driver."

I drove a truck for ten years. It was nice to have my mind to myself. Still work in the industry. I'd like to go back and drive for 6 months just to get some mental rest.
I'd like to know what the details are with this crash. Sounds like he was just going way too fast, but why?
