    Hey, Pharm, glad to see your doing well.
    Just wanted to mention that my brother in law was involved in an accident some years back involving another tractor trailer, there was one fatality.
    He had seven lawsuits filed against him, and it took three years to settle.
    He was found not to be at fault of the accident. He had the required 1 mil., but the lawsuits totaled around 7 mil.

    A judgment is one thing, getting blood out of that turnip is another.

    Yep sad the way you can turn on tv now & see info commercials from Law firms basically targeting trucking companies. You can have accident & be not a fault but those logs better not have any discrepancy over last month or they will still win a lawsuit against you. Sicking.

    wish me and the truck luck... I'm going into no-mans land... Halma, MN, it's about 20 miles south of the Canadian border.... 100 miles ne of Fargo! I had to run through a road full of cows this morning and then get pulled by dozer out of mud...all after backing a 90 in it with my rear axle hanging over a cliff. Suck on THAT dry-vanners! (yes I was terrified)

    I have vids! Will post some later after my 235 mile deadhead :biggrin_25511:
