As a part time trucker I take offense at your comments. Very few truckers "haul ass" thru this area. Remember that virtually everything you eat, drink or use is hauled by truck somewhere on its journey to you. If weight restrictions are put on trucks and all trucks are checked I'm willing to bet that the majority of folks pulling LQ trailers will be found overweight. The rock in this area is quite unstable and land slides occurred long before I 40 was built. The DOT has attributed the slide to rain and freezing.

I expect most slides in that result from the freeze thaw cycle along maybe with some geologic activity to dislodge unstable rock formations. At that point gravity takes control. Hopefully there was no car or truck below the pile.
