    Holy crapsnot

    Thankfully no serious injury.

    Honestly I don't get the amount of trucks I see parked on the shoulder anymore. A real emergency or breakdown is one thing, but with the number of idiots riding down the highway not paying much attention, why risk it?

    Getting the equipment ready 2 days before harvest starts. The wireing in this 1977 hopper is all cut up. I pulled it all out and stating over from scratch. New cans and air hoses all around. He keeps splicing it together because he wants to buy a new one but shoot, we just about got her all fixed up now? 65930028-E38B-4755-A47C-19D155086F61.jpeg He got this tractor in the spring. Finally decided to hook it up to something and see if it works? 9BB8B43C-85DD-4C6C-8C56-FCA2D4D5F3A8.jpeg

    Loaded up and Topeka bound. Just stopped in Hutch for a splash of fuel, apparently it’s driver appreciation day. Scored a free hamburger, hot dog, and drink. Pretty much the highlight of my day.

    Amazing no serious injuries in that wreck. Looks bad.

    Alright, time to roll. I’ll try to keep my shoulder breaks to a minimum. Lol.

    (readers digest version)
    He’s telling about how a few days ago, a 23 yr old driver got arrested for pointing his gun at his pilot car after the pilot car slowed down and pulled beside the truck to flip the driver off. On i80 in Pennsylvania.
    (end of summary)


    This video was posted on a thread where 2 drivers allegedly got into a spat pulled guns and one driver took 3 shells. The shooting was ‘justified’ by the cops. And the SHEEPLE are predictably outraged.

    And then, the above video was posted. I haven’t pulled an escorted load in PA in a decade but I’ve pulled enough to know that story was BS.
    If this one is BS, then the one about the shootout in the fuel island is BS too. Too bad the Sheep don’t get outraged when they realize that they were lied to.

    Anyways, don’t worry about it. It’s not true.
