    I thought your truck had a strong resemblance. I don't come over to this thread very often, but did a double take when I saw your post earlier.

    Other than where it started in Monroeville?, I'd bet that Brookville was the one of the more challenging legs. Sharp left is on a pretty good grade as are all of the S turns afterwards to the top of the hill.

    Shhh. The driver had the same route as us with the same loads. He came thru town a day later and I guess he caught a piece of angle iron in the cement. I wasn’t there so…but there’s a funny story to follow this one.

    It was all over the lowboy Facebook circle jerks. I recognized the truck and the load — figured there was a story.

    Believe he actually runs a pilot car. Which is honestly probably worse….

    Least I know I'm not the only one who wondered about that,,,, but I also know I've seen more than one truck very similar to his.

    I seen that stuff everywhere, about that KY thing.
    Figured you prolly had a few ask. (And my default is ,,, oof that sucks, wonder what the story is,,,,,,,,, oh well, and didn't want to bring the attention of the Facebook experts to anyone. )



    I done had my time under the Facebook microscope, when one of our drivers got stuck in an intersection. (Photos going around of him with a transformer)
    Cause there are only two of us in the company that have that exact truck and identical trailer. (Although the paint on his trailer is actually somewhat still white) unlike mine which is way over do for a respray.
    Think it was Mississippi or Alabama where he got stuck, but the second that hit Facebook ..... Everyone I know got in touch. Which to be fair I do know the guy, we had dinner together yesterday, and turns out in his case, a bag blew just a short bit before he went over it.

    Even one of my pilots I had a bunch of loads back texted me to check if it was me. (Students I trained back at Swift called me up)

    Which happens anytime people I know see our stripes up on Facebook or TikTok. Having a misadventure. (And then I do the dumb thing and read the comments, cause I clearly have to much free time on my hands.)

    Which sometimes I can say something, sometimes I can't. Cause of who I tend to get the information from.


    And yeah I'm rambling right now cause when I had dinner yesterday with two of our guys I discovered , I can no longer have a few and walk back to the hotel unscathed. Rolled my ankle heard it pop (doing the phenomenal task of walking) ,,,, so I'm still in pain and can't sleep atm. But I'm where I need to be, and not much will happen afterwards.
