    I almost HATE thanking posts like this, because I'm NOT THANKFUL of the situation... wish we had a :( button on the thanks..... like f/b or something.

    I'm not clear on what happened to the driver~!? I watched it all and even looked at the tweets.. it said the driver was "injured.." Was there in fact a passenger, or WAS that the driver coming out the passenger side?!?

    Wow, just wow. Wonder what "really" happened. Keep us posted, Bud. It's in your neck of the woods, right?

    See why I don't care for HazMat?!
     
    Big Don, slim shady and Bud A. Thank this.

    Not sure if that was the driver or a passenger. I heard about it from my wife who was watching it on the local news.

    And yeah, no hazmat for me. The wife forbade me, and I've learned to just say "ok" when she gets that way, since she's been right so many times in the past.

    I know right? All of a sudden we've got tanker yankers spontaneously combusting. This is why I avoid hazmat,even though we're required to be certified. I like my ribs the way they are currently- medium ******* rare,not well done!:eek:
     
    Bud A. and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    I never click on these tanker crash/fire links, I'll read the comments under them but really don't want to see the videos or pictures.
    Maybe bad juju or something? I don't know. It's my job and I do it well, My biggest fear hauling hazmat tanker is ever hurting someone else.

    I feel you, man. I still get a few random loads; it's part of the job. Those are days I carry the rosary the wife gives me.

    Just wish we knew the details. Internal combustions have pretty much been eliminated from the industry. Prayers to all involved. (even the 4 wheeler that may have caused it... i guess....)
