    the news is mentioning the possibility that he died of natural causes before the crash, and that he leaves behind a wife and daughter.

    I knew him from my days at Maverick.

    He was a long time driver at Maverick. A really good guy too.

    A Truckers Prayer




    Lord,
    Help me carry this heavy load,
    Keep my trailer straight on this road,
    Lead, guide and direct,
    and oh, what the heck,
    Keep diesel in the tank, money in the bank,
    and rubber side down. Amen!
