    That looks pretty bad, cab of the truck got tore all to heck.

    I'm not sure if most drivers know that the crash worthiness of the trucks we drive is not at all good. Easy to get into a false sense of security because of the size difference.

    If that 4 wheeler gets tangled in your steers, she's going over - not much doubt. And when you're sliding down the road on your side . . .

    RIP driver. These things happen every day and lives are ruined . . . just another news story for most.

    Good time to reflect that it is a dangerous job - not the most dangerous, but there's a chance that one of us won't return home after the start of the work stint.

    Be careful out there people.

    Maybe they repaved it, but last time I was there I had to drive slow to keep from getting thrown back to PA
