    I did notice the date. But it looks like it might be something to think about for guys thinking their whole family should be a part of their trucking career. If that is, in fact who the four others were that were riding with him. We see questions on here every once in a while, about guys who want to buy a truck and have their families live on the road with them.

    I might have gotten post-happy. I tried to find out what happened...someone said crash, and hazmat on the scene when I went by but I was trying not to run the tow-truck off the road that was headed that way...that was the only accident in that area that google would show me...my bad.

    Balakov's link now comes up on my phone...they say he survived, and it's less of a mess simply because it got cold and the stuff solidified...still a major mess.
