Not a phone call you want at 5 am

Woke up this morning with a really bad feeling that something was wrong. Got up and saw there was a message on the answering machine. It was hubby at 4 am telling me to call him. OK, this is a little weird bc he knows I am never up that early so I call him back.

"Well about 2 this morning I was run over at the truck stop"

My heart stops, seriously. Come to find out, a USA truck hit his truck. Hubby is ok, thank god, he was in the sleeper. He said cops and fire department was there but no tickets issued bc it was on private property. He was at the Pilot on I85 exit 129 (I think).

Hubby said that it had messed the front of the truck up pretty bad and put holes in the gas tank. Had to get someone out to empty the fuel tank and bypass that tank. He was suppose to load around Atlanta this morning and head home for the weekend. Now he is having to go to the shop, may have to go get him which isn't but 1 1/2 hours away.

One good thing about it is, the USA driver said he would sign saying it was his fault. After he told the company that, he was fired over the phone. I feel bad for the driver but glad he did do the right thing and soo glad Hubby is ok.

If I have to go pick hubby up, Ill try to get pics of the truck for yall.




** Have a good and safe day!!!!!!!

 

I am just glad it is a company truck and this repair wont come out of our pocket.

And the funny thing about it is, dispatch (a total b*t*h) told him to go and load. Hmmmmm, wonder what will be going through their mind when he pulls up with the whole front end messed up. That has got to make the company look bad. Would make me doubt they could safely transport their load. LOL

 

OH BRICKMAN!!!!

That made my stomach drop when I saw those pics. If that would have been hubby's call this morning, I might would have fell to pieces.
