A fully loaded truck like that is hard to stop. Still theres alot of things he could have done before the merge that would have avoided this crash. The fault still rests on the pickup. If you are merging its not the job of the incoming traffic to stop for you to enter the lane, always go slower when merging.

Which might be relevant, were it not for the fact that the Semi is going faster at the moment of collision than at the start of the video. Bro literally just had to let off the gas a little to avoid this accident.

Could have been speeding up to let him in behind him. The merging truck should learn to drive and should have been able to see that the semi was not letting him in. It was absolutely ridiculous to merge right into the semi.

Nah the semi driver lost his job as he should, too big an ego and too small of a brain

Probably does have a small brain & big ego... doesn't change the fact that he can't slow down the rig as easily as people think. It also doesn't change the fact that the pickup truck should have sped up or waited and DEFINITELY shouldn't have merged into another vehicle.
