Man taking a nap near big rig is run over, killed

..I wondered what that 'bump' was I felt the other day when driving local!! Thought that I left a 'chock' down....

Hold it---wait a minute, I drive a 1-tone Red truck! Whew, wasnt me...LOL

 

It ain't that funny you know. I just wonder why people would try and sleep under a moving vehicle. The truck driver should had got a look around, but I know how that is.

 

should be a poll on this ... would you sleep under a running semi?

 

Whenever I stop, I do a walk around before I enter the truck. Has been a safety issue for me for years.

 

I also do a walk around before I take off again. I always check my tires and before I get in the truck I always look at my fifth wheel handle to make sure no body has tampered with it. It is amazing how many drivers I see running on a nearly flat tire and don't know about it or just don't care.

 

I only check my 5th wheel release after hooking and when in the morning after sitting all night----my trainer (driver of 34 yrs) taught me that---or if I forgot to chk, B4 moving, lock trailer brakes and give it a tug, then start along my merry way!
