    :biggrin_25518:, 734 cases on the floor, on a 48' our biggest wagon at the time, mid 80s. For 3 and a half miserable years, I was the Eggman. It was the 1st really good paying trucking job I had, $15/hr. was good pay then, more than I ever made driving a truck, so much so, it allowed me to buy a house and start a family, life was good, except the eggs part. I've seen plenty of egg "crashes", nothing like this, but they don't all break, and many get recycled. You ever get a "bad egg", it's probably an old one mixed in. The place I worked for, Wisco Farm Co-op, in L.Mills, Wis, a division of Crystal Farms, and one of the "farms" had over 6 million chickens. It produced a literal river of eggs. And that was just ONE farm, there are hundreds,,that's a lot of eggs. I was pretty green, and had several egg crashes, they call them, pallets going over, mostly, like any job, you get used to it and learn certain tricks, we had Piggly Wiggly stores, with those wire baskets, such a PITA, then they slowly went to the egg racks, like milk, and a little better. This driver with the camera, extremely lucky the oncoming driver woke up enough to veer slightly to the right, but could have been a lot worse. If I was running a drivers school, when the Packers win the Super Bowl again, I'd show all the "students", these types of videos, like the old dr. ed. ones, I never saw, btw. Nothing would send a clearer message of what can happen to them than this.

    Can we start a GoFundMe to buy that driver some new underwear?

    No need, he went to the local C-store and bought a lottery ticket.


    At the price of eggs right now, that's gonna cost that other driver's insurance company a lot of bacon...
