Have you ever....??

Years back....I was rolling across 10 for Fla. with a hot load of chemicals..... the lab held me up way beyond reasonable and all day so I'm pissed and tired.... several hours into the night in nowhere LA. I'm still pounding the pavement and I see a guy in fatigues on the shoulder.... he steps out in front of me... and I drop the anchor, I put the Pete's nose in the pavement....I'm terrified and I'm sick. I think I've just killed someone......I go to looking and I can't find him....I call the law and we all look....and look....and look. They keep asking what did I see and where......we finally decide I hit no one. The law checks my funny book and finds nothing but they insist I allow them to escort me to the next t-stop ...to rest....I agree.

That was years ago..... I'm still convinced I hit someone.... I can still see him in the headlights. Get your proper rest drivers!!!!

 

I think the time i swore to god a bear jumped on the hood of the truck was my worst tired moment.

 

ive seen the black dog run in the shadows off the right hand side after a long night on the interstate.

 

Yup, and twice on Sunday.

I do the "did I just move" thing all the time. I even did it so bad standing in my sleeper one night I fell over.

Ive also been barnstormed by a crop duster before on wheat harvest crew.

Im also the same guy that stuck his hand into the ceiling fan going full blast one night. I "HAD TO STOP THE WHEEL!" Whatever that wheel was I was dreaming about had to be stopped, as I woke up standing in my bed with my hand stuck up in the "now stopped" ceiling fan. I thought for sure I cut a couple of my fingers off. Exiited the bed the wrong direction trying to find a light switch, in all the confusion I broke my toe in the process. Hand was fine, toe wasn't lol. Ceiling fan was trashed g/f dumped me cause im a psycho, but only when sleeping at night.

 

Year was 1997 at night east bound on I-20 in Texas on a team truck. We both to this day do not know if it was a real man or a ghost. The man was in a black suit with a hat and a briefcase just walking on the side of the highway. We seen nothing for miles, where did he come from. Still freaks me out to this day !

 

After a couple of days and nights on the road my brain was mush.Going through a cutting, what was the rise in ground outside my widow my brain said was a wave that was going to dump on me.Turned my head and braced my self. Not clever to operate that way. Rather late then never.

 

yes kittyfoot done all of those those but the most memorable was pulled the cabover head in a park spot and crawled back. woke up and saw myself 2 feet from the trailer in front of me, in record speed to the seat and on the brakes to find i am parked

 

worked offshore onsupply boats for several weeks and it always took 2 to 3 daysstop feelin the ocean inside of me....even affected the way i walked the first hr or so back on dry land

 

Done the "oh crap am I rolling?" plenty of times. Hell of an adrenaline boost, haha. I'm a firm believer in steering wheel naps. I liked them because my arms would fall asleep in about 20-30 minutes and I'd be up. If I went to the bunk, I might not get up for alot longer. That power nap could take me hours on down the road after.
