Friends, my heart is heavy today.
Over the past 2 days, I've seen 3 trucks wrecked, 2 which I'd be happily surprised if the driver's lived.
Those were flatbed trucks.
Both tractors were destroyed.
First looked like they feel asleep at the wheel and drifted into the median.
Second looked like a4 wheeler caused them to swerve to avoid them and paid the price.
I may not know you enough to recognize you at a truck stop, but, as a fellow driver, I love you as my family.
Please be safe as possible out there.
Shiny side up.
Be careful out there

more blood at any accident scene than a thousand first responders have seen.
you can preach all you want about "being careful", and i can assure you this crap will continue well into the 23rd century.
for as many reasons why, as there are the population of China.austinmike, dwells40 and LoSt_AgAiN Thank this. -

Ain't no preaching bud.
Just feeling low seeing such things.
Saw yet another yesterday. Van went over a ditch into a treeline. Tractor was crushed, trailer looked okay.
Still makes me sad.

No, I run local in Chattanooga. Been in snow twice. Can't say I liked it much.
Took it real slow and easy, gentle on the throttle, and rolled easy till I got to asphalt. Snow and ice aren't real common this far south. It's a major reason I live here. Not a fan of that stuff having grown up in it.Suspect Zero, Pamela1990, pumpkinishere and 5 others Thank this. -
wait till you start seeing body parts strewn all across the roadway, and puddles of blood.
you'll have nightmares, and you'll never be able to "un see" what you saw..Badmon, D.Tibbitt, LoneRanger and 1 other person Thank this. -

While I realize these things happen, I cannot say it wouldn't mess me up bad to see such things.
I am thankful I haven't seen anything like that.
Yet.
I pray I never do.Pamela1990, pumpkinishere, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Body parts, white sheets with red spots, burnt corpses, welcome to the highway.

That’s why I truck. I wanted a front row seat.
It’s the same reason people watch auto racing. To see the car crashes.shatteredsquare and TJ_BASS Thank this. -
i think it's inevitable.
