Yep, that's a bad one, alright. I recognised a Shaffer, Lessor, FFE and Total in that mess. There was an independent as well, but the writing is too small. My guess without any information at all except my own general experience is the four-wheelers were getting frustrated with the slower speed of the trucks, one of them hammered down and lost control. With that pea soup and their tendency to follow too close, they ended up with a great big mess. Too fast for conditions applies to all of us regardless of how many lug nuts we have.

My prayers for all who were involved and those who had to witness this.

 

Sounds good to me. I pick up around 6am supposed to be heading to Florida but this company could send me to Ohio before it's over with

 

Haha...I keep trying to stay away from there. It is foggy here in Pa also but not as bad as it sounds to be there

 

Oh did you get the text I sent?
