    kiss your loved ones today and tell them you love them....hug them a extra few seconds, you never know when it may be your last...dont go to bed angry, try to not say things you will regret later. show your mate that they are the love of your life. try not to let lifes stresses interfer with your relationship. say i love you, then say it again, show it, mean it, live it....i am so incredibly sad for Roberts family, tragically left behind to pick up the pieces of their lives, left to carry on after a senseless event THAT COULD HAVE BEEN avoided. one mans carelessness, has led to many others having a deep ache in their hearts, a gaping hole that will never mend. an emptiness , a void....

    Sorry for your loss. A senseless, avoidable accident that will haunt all people involved, including your forum friends, for many yrs to come.

    Condolences....One thing that bugs me the most these days is drivers are getting worse and worse out here.... I was driving through Indiana yesterday, road was wet with snow and ice patches, me and a bunch of other drivers were taking an easy pace, and came up on a Penske semi, he had to be doing 20 mph, no 4 way flashers, no lights, nada. I eased by him and noticed the kid driving it hunched over the wheel typing on his cell phone. The stupidity out here these days is sickening.

    2nd time I have had this pain today. We always feel so empty, when we loose one of our own. Now theirs one more empty saddle, another cowboy has gone home.
    Money don't mean crap. People do. Hard to explain that to others.

    Squeeze my head so I don't hurt so long. Flat bed, Cranes. Other machines involved to load a trailer. Don't get to change it. Have not been Angry in 26 years. They made it.

    Don't know how many funerals. Tired of them. I am left here. Guess to teach you clowns to drive a truck.
    Don't know if my style is proper. But it's right. Running with the Big Dogs, is a thing we understand. I go 3 digits. More than I can bear. ####.
