How many Professional Drivers can honestly say they have their WILLS up to date? Went out this morning in my POV.. a Food Lion truck was turned over and sadly... the trailer was on top of the car. 3 people died. Car was about 3 feet tall when they pulled it onto the wrecker. It took about 3-4 hours to get the trailer upright and off the car. This was due to being back in the county some and the wreckers had to travel 45-60 miles to the wreck. You never know when you walk out that door if you will be coming back. Get your Wills up to date... I just finished updating mine and got it locked up in a fire proof safe... be safe drivers.. I do have a picture and will post later of the trailer (cannot see car) and a far shot of the car on the wrecker.
You never know

Good advice about wills...YOU just never know...."Nothings forever"

I have one. I do need to update it a little but really nothing of major importance. Its a good idea to keep one though, because you really never know.

You never know when something can happen. Five years ago my wife was shot by the Beltway Snipers and our daughter was only 16 months old at the time. She was not expected to live but after 31 surgeries she is still alive.

Not only do you need a regular will, but you also need a "living will." If you want to have ANY say in what type of on-going care you want for yourself, in case you are unable to make a decision. In other words, if you become disabled to the point where long term "life support" measures are needed, do you want to be kept alive this way, or do you want them to "pull the plug."
This is not something that you should leave to your loved ones to decide. It needs to be seriously addressed prior to a situation. If it is left up to "medical care" to decide, you will likely be kept alive for as long as possible, even if there is no chance for any type of recovery. -
AGAIN, PLEASE get your story straight before posting untrue statements. Especially when naming the company.
Your ENTIRE posts of that wreck are FALSE!!!!
