Maybe then they will think twice about a persons work load before putting them on the road.
Throw the book at the company, work with this young man on educating others on the responsibilities and safety of driving a truck.
Not saying all companies operate like this but this one clearly did.
Just my 2 cents anyway.

It's pretty hard to be sure if he ran the stop sign intentionally or not, but reports have said that there are numerous signs warning stop sign ahead. What was he thinking leading up to the actual stop sign?
So you're saying they should let he off with a stern warning not to do that again, since there is no point sending him to jail?
Yes, most definitely throw the book at the company.
