    Slight exaggeration. It was a standard ambulance. But they still had to get EMS to take bleedy mcbleederson in.

    Unloaded at 0500 bounced.over an hour and a half to.reload for Hanover Park, Illinois...aquarium salt if you can believe that. Was hoping to get a load with a little more milage on it for staying out over Thanksgiving, but I got what I got and their is probably a California load waiting on me back in Nebraska. Cali is good miles but a bit of a pain to get into and out of, guess you gotta take the bad with the good. Hope y'all made it home to eat with friends and family, I'll see mine at Christmas.

    So after having a reefer unit going full tilt, -10 and continuous cycle for the best part of a week, I'm parked for the day and it's just to dang quiet. I had dozed off and suddenly jerked awake realizing my icebox wasn't icing. Dressed and jumped out and found that the switch was off and began immediate preparations to hand out a full blown butt whooping...then I noticed there was no one near me...then I remembered I didn't have it on in the first place. Man, I have a knack for humbling myself...lol.

    Well I don't feel so bad now. Was tired went to sleep no one around woke up a trailer 10 inches from my hood, I dove buck *eked out the sleeper slammed on the brake pedal thinking I had gone to sleep driving I guess, then it hit me what actually happened I got up looked out the passenger window into the eyes of a driver laughing his butt off at me. He got a free shot and I crawled backwards into the bedroom covered my head cursing the bone head that parked that close to my hood.

    Man, I recall the (few!) times that 'virtual motion' got me like that, back in my OTR days... being really tired, and shocked into a wake up... Buck naked, pulling already pulled knobs, pushing pedals, being happy for not having a driver facing cam!! Never felt so idiotic in my life, (even in my teens when I screwed up dates, hahaha!!) << takes a MAN to admit it, ya know!

    You aren't the first and won't be the last. All is forgiven. I love it when they say Ok BUD common back over and I say thank you but I'm a BUDDET(not sure about spelling0 ROFLMBO. It takes a grown man to admit to a mistake and as a bonus be funny too. Your wife is funny too and maybe hit the nail on the head but sometimes,,,,,,,,
