I55 West Memphis

Just came through Memphis on I55 South. A FedEx truck bobtailing hit one of the concrete barriers blocking the inside lane. Looks like he tore the driver side steer wheel off. Huge backup going north.

Went thru there both ways this morning (picking up steel in Blytheville).....hope the driver was ok. Probably lulled to sleep because the road is SO smooth!! LOL

what color was the tractor? My guitarists drives a red Volvo for FedEx Custom Critical and should be in that area today.

When I went by, the driver was out of the truck and a southbound truck had stopped in the inside lane and was talking with him. The truck was a day cab white.

FFFEEWWW!! TY. Both my guitarist and keyboardist drive for FeDEx, I'm not sure who the company is that owns the truck. I used to run for JBL Logistics out of Lake City CA. Run a straight truck. To my knowledge all the straight trucks and the tractors w/sleepers are O/O or sub-contracted, the day cabs are owned by FedEx, they pull doubles mostly.
