My new, final resting place

Been out here 14 years and pulled reefers, vans, cars and flats. Not oversimplified. It's just the way it is.

 

I don't mean to be rude because I am rooting for you DD but a load of lumber strapped tight will be very stable. As a flatbedder I have had to swerve and have hard braking moments with things like that on the deck and lumber should hold tight

 

I thought you did alright. You did not hit anybody else, the truck took the brute of it and you got it to the shoulder. #### happens and you get to live another day. I once tried to dodge a drive shaft on 101 just outside of Salinas that a truck in front of me through. I managed to run it over with my right steer, right drives and right trailer tires instead. I blew two trailer tires in the process. The owner of the farm truck showed up and actually just paid the tire guy I had called out for the two used tires and all was good.

That chunk stuck in your tank looks pretty ugly. That's not anything you could fix with a bar of soap. Keep trucking and all the best to you.

Yeah. A lot of money. Especially for the environental clean up. IN Connecticut.

 

Man you are brutal today Joseph.

 

Just being honest.

 

I've learned that "making people move" or pushing them out of their lane is just a part of the job. As a rookie OTR it's something I'm still timid about so it requires discipline. I'm glad you're OK, brother. Had I been in your place there would likely be a hole in my fuel tank as well.
