    I hate snakes, he so could of hit the wiper and knocked the snake off. Maybe even hitting it with the trailer tires.

    Crazy. Sorry to here he was fired. I'm sure he's bounced back by now. I have all kinds of personal pictures and videos that I've taken. Maybe I'll post a few. My favorite is running through Phoenix at night with Johnny Cash on the stereo.

    There may yet be another reason he got fired. I remember, not long ago at all, a Swift driver who used to upload video blogs about his experiences to YouTube. Long story short, he was eventually fired for it. I learned later that quite a few companies aren't very keen on their drivers "vblogging" about their jobs; I guess it has something to do with wanting to avoid embarassment if the driver/blogger does something stupid or illegal with the company logo plastered all over the side of the truck. Since that incident I've noticed how some of the smarter bloggers will hide which company they're driving for.

    I guess that's the thing most people forget about Facebook and youTube: you've gotta be careful of what you choose to upload because EVERYONE IS GOING TO SEE WHAT STUPID CRAP YOU'RE PULLING - even the folks you wish wouldn't see it.

    What was he thinking? Shooting a video while driving a cmv? Then, uploading it. What did he think was going to happen. A pat on the back by corporate?
    Although, I have to admit, that's not as crazy as some of the stuff I see the drivers of four wheelers doing when they pass on by. However immune they are to their actions behind the wheel.

    I feel bad for the snake. It's not like it would've been so hard to pull off and take him off the windshield. You'd do the same thing for a cat or a dog, wouldn't you?

    Well a cat or a dog on the windshield would make me wonder how did they get up there without you seeing them before taking off..
    Or even on the hood..
