Another Indiana construction zone wreck

Two people got run over and killed while their cars were disabled and they were in emergency lane on I-17 in the truck route portion that loops around the south side last week. One guy stopped and was changing the tire of the disabled car, wasn't even his car, BLAM, plowed over by a drunk driver. The other one a pick up crashed into. both near the same spots. DPS recommendation is move the vehicle from the highway.

 

Have you gotten me a picture of Heather yet?

 

Why would they want you to quit? You need some vacation time. Get out of the truck for awhile. I've been off for two weeks now, and I'm a new man. I wished I could leave just for a day, that part is hard on me. I'd be rolling down doing little 500 mile back & forths. Maybe it will come to that if I'm not able to get another local job. But even being gone for a day I fear will lead to disaster at home, or just a constant string of minor disasters, like category 1's rather than category 5's, but perpetually, so I can't just happily go down the highway. Have to be punished.

 

Pilots, every day, are withholding information from their doctors to keep their medical current. Truckers will too. Just a fact of life.

 

I dunno. That physical at Schneider was the hugest cattle walk I think I've ever been apart of. I mean when the svelte blind guy pushing 475 got a two year card, well n/m, safety is priority one there.
