    As I passed the immigration check point it was sprinkling on my windshield then stopped. As I got near the 87 truck stop before Fort Hancock the petrichor smell was the strongest I’ve ever smelled it. It was amazing.

    No need to tell me about it. Her only real flaw is loving me.

    I know a guy who rocked a truck like that, but he got the wrong truck number, Howard trucking, all trucks were same color, Caribbean Blue, a Ted, about 6’5 450-500 came outside mad.

    The other guy hid behind the sleeper, Ted didn’t see him, after the door shut, he was gone.
    5 of us watched from the same company, Someone told Ted who done it and he waited a couple weeks and we always loaded transformers there on Sunday, (Drop&hook) and ate at Big Reds, 530 xit 20 or so between Little Rock and Pine Bluff, anyway, Ted let the guy sit down at the booth, and sat beside him, threw his arm around his neck and said, “I got ya now.”
    The other guy just sunk in his seat, Ted didn’t care though, he just laughed it off..

    He was another good driver who died of a heart attack while driving, he ran the truck off an embankment 40-50 ft drop, destroyed the truck and trailer, but the lumber was still on the deck, I don’t think he knew his own strength..:eek:
    No else one was hurt.

    Volvo hell continues I know my less than stellar past is going to haunt me but this penance is testing my faith. Legroom almost none I swear there’s more room in a K100. Mirrors too close and too big huge blind spots when checking cross traffic. On the plus side the engineer that specked the air conditioning got it right ( he must have noticed the poor job his coworkers were doing and realized drivers were going to be hot enough already) it stays plenty cool in this south Texas heat.

    So.
    Are you trying to tell us, that’s why the guys in the white Volvo’s pull out in front of us, because bad mirror placement and they just can’t see us?
