    Brickman, your rubbing off on my hubby. He was delivering to a nice little ranch down south. Long lane driveway and deep ditches on each side. Of course two days of rain on the lane. He was the first one there and the first to leave after unloading, in a string of 7 trucks. He said the lane was fine when he pulled in, but as he was leaving, the ruts from the other truck arriving, were too much. Front passenger steer dropped into the ditch and the trailer slid off the other side into the ditch.

    Ranch owner had to get his track Cat to pull every driver back down his lane, after he got my hubby out of his pickle. :biggrin_2555:

    Just thought I'd let you know, your not the only one.

    I am glad to hear that you are okay. Could have been much worse. Wear those seat belts! Imagine if there had been a bicyclist or a walker on the side of the road.

    Sorry to see this man. So sorry, we ALL could be there and we ALL know it. EVERY one of us has either been CLOSE or there with you! Well, think of us as a family, man, and we'll help you get through it. I was SHOCKED to see this. Insurance will take care of it all, right?

    Brikman....Glad you weren't hurt! Been down the same road. It doesn't matter how long you've been out here.....all it takes is one second of distraction....or (in my case) being in a hurry.....and your whole world changes....INSTANTLY! Once again, glad you weren't injured. You gonna put wooden floors in the new one??:biggrin_25525:
