good job at finding an out. yes you kept her upright and some damage, but from the video looks minor.
Hope safety looks kindly to you and writes it as an incedent. -
Uh hey Injun...I saw Swift today.....on a dry road he managed to end up on his side in the middle right before the 90/94 split by Tomah Wisconsin going westbound. Near as I can figure he musta left out last night AFTER they cancelled the blizzard warning up here and hit a patch of black ice while he was moving to take I 90 towards minnesota. When I came back by they had two cranes lifting it off it's side and back up on the road. -
By the way perf that was one helluva save and you did the only thing you coulda. I was in the spot once and was lucky enough to NOT have to take the middle. the guy pulled out of his jackknife before I had to make dive!!!! I know what you went thru good job!!!

Ya......$2975 later......you could hear my boss hollering from three states away.

Luckily for me........(well perhaps not) my journey's end deposited me on somewhat spongy wet terra-firma and they had to use two trucks to get me out, I was sunk in pretty good......either that, or the first guy was a rookie.
-
yeah I saw all that turf bound up by the drives......###### man....you did real good keeping her standing tall bro.....
-
That's seriously cheap compared to what a demolished tractor would have cost him...

Or the two cranes and three tow trucks picking that swift out of the ditch near Tomah, WI! I'd really hate to see that bill!
Awesome job of keeping that thing upright Perf! And not damaging anybody else in the process.
