    I nailed a deer once. I got VERY lucky with that one and all I did was lay it down at 35 mph. I even went to work the next day, but I was a hurting puppy. :confused:

    First time I drove through St. Louis, I hadda call 911 because there was a refrigerator sitting in the left lane going across the bridge into town. Was 6:45am on a Monday, so very odd.

    Not that it wouldn't have been odd at any other time, but was particularly odd at that time.

    I nailed a sheep years ago with a KenworthT600. Did no damage to the truck, sheep, not so much.

    Anybody been to the MCLM drop yard in Clinton NC? On google maps, it looks like a field in the middle of nowhere!?

    I mean nothing but a couple of either hog or chicken farms. I can’t believe we’d have a drop yard in BFE. Wonder if it’s a drivers house? That kinda looks like a driver code, now that I think about it.

    I was Code 3 to a Robbery in Progress call one night and hit a Great Dane at 90mph. Was not a pretty sight.

    Thanks. Figured it out. Was a little easier because there were no mtys at my drop, so I was BT. The guy came over and we talked for a bit. Super nice dude.
