    I-15 Northbound MM 339 in UT... Someone lost a load of guts... Intestines, stomachs, lungs, ECT. By the size of the stomachs and the partially digested feed on the roadway, I'm guessing bovine in origin. It was quite a mess, traffic backed up a couple miles, guts strung out across all 3 lanes for at least 1/4 mile. I was in the middle lane doing my best to dodge the bloated stomachs, but there was 1 about 1/2 a mile beyond where the rest had ended. I couldn't move either way because of other vehicles beside me... So it went under my driver side tires, and exploded nearly painting the car to my left in rumen... And of course it stunk to high heaven. Even now after 60 or so miles it can be smelt when i get out of the truck.

    The beginning of this old movie reminds me of truck drivers, everywhere you go, everyone wants something, but won’t stand together to get it, wants someone else to do the talking..


    good comedy.

    Wasn’t me!!
    I’ve hauled blood in a tanker before..
    That’s another one of those loads you just soon not do.
    DoT guy did a walk around and said something about the valve looked weird, I told him not to touch it, and he got blood on his hands and went to gagging.
    He told me to “Get the F out of his jurisdiction.”
    I hated to tell him, the load was drilled into the ground in his state by a farmer..:puke:
