Report
Drivers do not care about others safety on the road, speeding and driving erratically and in oncoming traffic, specifically whoever was driving the f150 with plate RS 3004. I'd advise them to maybe not speed and drive in oncoming traffic in a company vehicle.
Edit:
Unless there's another construction company named Surespan operating in BC using the same logo I can assure you my information is accurate. This happened between Cache Creek and Kamloops on Oct 6th.

As a subcontractor for surespan I was treated horribly. I would not recommend you work for this company as if you make an honest mistake you can be dropped on the on the side of the curb and left stranded. The bridge project I was assigned to was badly managed and highly disorganized and from all of my 20 years of construction this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. At the moment I'm trying to leave the hotel and at the same time they are canceling the hotel. I have a ride arranged for the evening yet the Surespan management is arranging my leaving the hotel midday I believe this is
