Just wanted to throw one out there,
Just wanted to throw one out there,
for an old friend an former driver. Dave Rosecrans of Augusta, Ks. 39, died shortly after arriving at the hospital last Friday. His cement truck rolled and he was severely injured in the wreck. I really don't have a lot of details at this time as I just got back in the office.
I am only posting this in case anyone here knew Dave and would ask that you sent one up for his two young kids. Dave drove for me for almost 10 years and decided to leave us as he needed more time at home than OTR could afford him.
He was just a good all around guy that took the cement truck driving job to spend more time with his family, just a reminder that no one is bulletproof, be careful out there.
Sincerely,
Stan
