    Qualcomm message to dispatch: Going to be a little late getting to consignee; stopped to get the truck washed. By the way, I'm sure Target will be having a huge sale next weekend.

    Now I wonder if congress will investigate the new hos ruling? Nope the driver fell asleep, but like I saw before in the forum proper planning prevents poor performence.

    Semi carrying Target cargo crashes into icy pond.



    This is the link to the video from a helicopter; [ame]http://video.foxnews.com/v/1370607111001/target-truck-crashes-into-icy-pond/?playlist_id=87937[/ame]

    Now how do you think this driver managed to cross the median then the west bound lanes then through some small trees and more ground then 100 yards across the top of(debatable) the 6" thick ice before stopping?
    He must have been sleeping really good and wokeup somewhere after crossing the west bound lanes and when the ride smoothed out he gassed on it to get across the ice?

    IDK but he won't be on Ice Road Truckers with this fail!

    When the driver of that truck got on the CB a few minutes before and told others that he was going to cut through the woods, he wasn't joking

    I can hear it now ...

    "The radio stations said all the lakes were frozen. I was taking a shortcut a guy on the CB told me about. It's obvious its not my fault. Will this affect my DAC?
