    The picture in the paper showed the scene real well
    Papa's rig was buried in the local motel.
    The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear,
    he never hit the brakes and he was shiftin' gears.

    Mama was a looker,
    Lord how she shined.
    Papa was a good'n,
    but the jealous kind.
    Papa love Mama,
    Mama loved men.
    Mama's in the graveyard,
    Papa's in the pen.



    That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

    Wow talk about being tired. What are his chances of landing a driving job any time soon. LOL They can convert that part of the hotel into a drive through.

    i'd say this guys career in truck driving is toast. I'm wondering if there will be any law suites involved.

    Current isn't the problem in this case, legal would be more like it and not just for the day of accident but the previous 8 days to 30 days:biggrin_25511:

    Wish him luck. Im thinking medical problem:yes2557:

    Wow I hope he was legal, however if he fell asleep I doubt he was so he might umm not be driving anymore which he might not want to drive anymore. Thank goodness they can't get him for Vehicular manslaughter but I wonder it hey can try attempt of vehicular manslaughter, I don't know????:biggrin_25511:
