    We got an incident here. Heard a loud crash. This guy didn’t pay attention. Forget what it was he demolished at the corner. Now he’s stuck with concrete barrier under his trailer. He blew it big time. Gonna need a tow truck.
    He tried to back. Blew something as loud as a shotgun blast. Don’t look good for him.

    Well.... the crash was the first concrete barrier. Took two drivers yelling at him to get him to back up. He kept trying to go forward. Managed to back out. Did a bunch of damage to his trailer. Brake chambers dragging on ground. Tire gone. Wheel damaged. Skirting hoses damaged. Don’t know what else. And the guy asks how much it will cost?

    The part about spraying your keyboard is true. Ain't that right @G13Tomcat ? ;) They got him twice in one day if I recall. It is a helluva thread. It's like that old western...The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

    Sexting while showering and shaving could end badly. Why is sext censored? ;)


    The HBOMax app...Loony Toons. Lots of them. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Sadly tho...they took away the guns from Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam. ;(

    How the Hell do these people get their CDL. Do any companies do road tests anymore?

    Cutting a corner is just inexcusable.

    Breaking a tire will make a helluva bang.

    Well the water pump has been rebuilt. Now to find the bolts for the front axle. Hopes to hang the engine back onto the front axle. The engine is assembled as far as I dare take it for this cheap harbor freight engine stand.

    I can’t believe you guys would put a sign and barrier there while he was sleeping,
    Reminds me of this Mercer dropdeck pretrip, the driver found this A77B7CE6-EB97-4D30-A291-8835D29F7C0A.jpeg
