    That truckstop is always full as a tick. It is one of the last truckstops southbound going into Dallas. Luckily, there weren't more trucks involved.

    I spent my 30 min there yesterday and they were still cleaning up. The ShipEx (green truck) had damages as well as a dry van on the other side. Scary stuff to wake up to, I bet.

    Imagine waking up and thinking it's just hot outside so you crank up your A/C, only to look out your window and see fire

    One more thing to consider, as though there isn't enough already.
