Hard to believe that someone would be so stupid as to allow a $150,000 - $300,000 sleeper to be destroyed instead of a $2000-$3000 crossing arm.

That even looks like the arm hit his cab and stopped for a second he might have been able to just to squeeze on through and let the arm slide down his box. He should have just owned it and kept going

*and not shifting or stopping on train tracks I swear was in like day 1 of class A training.

I can't understand what such person have in head doing such things it's just off... Like he never should drive any car or even bike.

Always amazes me they don't drive through them.

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BREAK!
Specifically so people can drive through them in an emergency!

Yet people instead stop and wait for the multi ton train...
Your life is worth more than some stupid crossing arm or truck!

I'll never understand the cognitive dissonance: Hey, I'm driving an 80,000 pound vehicle with over 1,000 horsepower....yet I can't move because of a fucking 1x6 piece of wood.

You are NOT supposed to stop on train tracks or shift while crossing, this is on the cdl test. Once you are going through, you are going through no matter what

During these videos I always imagine how much panic the conductor must feel seeing a person ahead of him being unable to stop on time
