Millis OTR journal

Was one of our trucks involved?

 

Yeah. According to the FB group, our driver is okay though.

 

Ok I was searching news stories for photos but did not see that. I do not have Facebook. Glad that person is ok.

 

No

 

I did break down on 94 though right after MN line. Was driving down the road enjoying the fact that traffic died down when there was an explosion right outside my door. So pulled over on berm in the snow storm. Checked my tires figured it was a tire. Tires all checked out. Went up to that big Kwik trip with the Denny’s. Checked my tires again along with air bags. No problem with anything. The explosion freaked me out so called it a night. Went to BRF this morning where it was discovered one of my batteries blew up. While there they discovered a fuel leak in fuel pump so now I’m at Lacrosse kenworth.

 

Wow, what would make a battery blow up? I've only heard of that happening when they were overcharged by a battery charger, or by jump starting using the wrong technique.

 

Had B service couple weeks ago they replaced one battery. Guessing they somehow hooked it up wrong.

 

Wow, that's scary.

 

Here’s a video of the aftermath.

Anyone ever deliver to Duro Bag in Florence? Do they have overnight parking?
