    We had a driver have some sort of medical issue, drove around Jacksonville, FL on the bypass, made it all the way to the customer and then as he was going around a retention pond to check in he passed out cold. The only thing that kept him from swimming in the pond was another truck that was waiting for his appointment. He said the last thing he remembers was going over I-75 on I-10...his girlfriend said he was talking to her on the cell phone most of the way around Jax...making no sense. Did full tox screen, sugar, A1C, every exam with initials and never found out what happened...wasn't drunk, doesn't take drugs, no sign of any kind of stroke, seizure or even elevated sugar levels. Still, totaled the truck, lost his job, probably lost his CDL...So no one knows what was up with this scale crasher.

    Kinda reminds me of the INCIDENT at the old chicken house on the North end of the Ho Chi Minh trail---course the fire destroyed most of the evidence and nobody was ever charged---

    That was my first thought as well. Or possibly attempt homicide/suicide.

    I dunno, if he were serious about killing himself, you think he would pick a larger, sturdier structure to hit. The old scale buildings in Ohio barely stand up by themselves. :biggrin_25521:

    In a scale house? Why you think they make us do 30mph? A little breeze can knock it down!
