I really really really wish I could have seen that van before the wreck. I want to see how they loaded 20 people and their luggage in a van designed for 15. Was the back-end loaded floor to ceilng? Were people sitting on luggage in the back seat? What kind of experience did the van driver have? So On.............

I've spoke with many expediters who run over weight, cheat on logs etc. Expediters are people and until that changes rules will be broken.

What about the semi drivers logs? Did he have two sets, was he out of hours. Was he over weight, the list could go on and on. Do you think having 20 people instead of 15 in the van caused the accident?

To be 100% honest I might be a little biased in this case. I was rear ended by a semi once, had to be cut out of my jeep and ended up in the hospital for over a week followed by months out of work. It just sounds to me like your looking for a reason to blame the van, maybe I am reading wrong here and I apoligize if I am.
