    So I stopped at this truck stop on Friday night and this Schneider national truck (just the tractor) was sitting here, now I'm back and it's Tuesday night and the tractor is still there, unmoved. I think it might be a lease purchase truck idk, the curtains are closed on it. I just have a weird feeling about it lol like maybe there's a dead guy in it.... 0_0

    Maybe that's where they park it on home time?
    Lo trucks don't have decals on the door just the sidebox( usually).
    Call Schneider and give them the trk#

    I stop there often and have never seen it before, it was still there when I left this morning. I actually did do a sniffer test but there was 30 mph winds so idk, I imagine that it is nothing, it just gave me a funny vibe... Schneider National, Inc was on the side box plus it had a little sticker about lease purchase program on it. I will be back there Friday night, if it is still there I will call them.

    I'll up date Friday.

    If there is a dead body three days in it's that thing is going to reek FOUL. You will know it on sniff. Instantly. You do. NOT. want to be looking inside becuase it will be turning black, green and dropping it's blood contents to the bottom of the body before congealing and then rotting. Then after a few more hours or days it will begin to swell. To about twice. Before bursting.

    Chill. You have been watching too many slasher movies me thinks.

    Once you sniff a dead human ripening... or even burning in a wreck you just got to.. it never leaves you.

    Agreed! Ya gotta do something on your 10 tho =P

    I actually have had a run in with a corpse about 20 years ago. Worked as a maintenance man for a guy that owned a trailer court, he hadn't seen an older lady that had her trailer on his lot so he sent me to check on her. She had been there for about 2 week she had leaked all over and the maggots oh man, you are right it's not something that you ever forget.

    What's really bad, is the Adesa auction house salvage yard. When a coffin comes in (Vehicle with dead people inside) it has to be isolated, tarped and police summoned. The reaction among the temps is something best kept away.

    Now and then they sell a hearse and it's a nice clean vehicle ready to sell, but People get strange when asked to take it here or there. You could not pay them a million in Gold bars because they just wont do it. For a variety of valid reasons.
