Calex Express....My New Home!

Alright, which one of you were headed west on 10 this morning in Florida around MM215? I know it wasn't JohnBoy, but there's so many of you out here I figured it might be one of you, I didn't holler at ya, but I thought about it.

 

Well here I sit at a Super 8. Have a delivery in Jupiter set for 6pm tomorrow night. I called them and decided to just show up to see if they would take it early, come back tomorrow they said, so I got a room. Called dispatch and got no return call and tried Eddy he told me to go in and see what happens. Absolutely nothing happened. Been pretty uneventful last few weeks, mainly back and forth to Florida which is fine with me. Although about 3-4 weeks back I went out to Holland Michigan and while up on Rt2 in Ohio a construction barrel became airborne from the opposite side of the road and smashed my windshield. Happened as another truck was passing me the other direction, it was really dark and I don't know if he kicked it up or it was thrown by someone out of the darkness. I drove back in the daylight and all the barrels were on my side of the road so i don't know. Thankfully it hit center-right on the windshield so I didn't get sprayed with glass, I'm still finding shards all over the place. Anyway, that's been it for this Calex driver.

 

Al,

That must have been scary when it happened.

Yeah it spooked me pretty good, it was as if it happened in slow motion. Flew over my hood into the windshield, and according to the cop that showed up, bounced off the truck into the canal beside the road. It was so #### dark I wasn't even sure what had hit my window at first. Freaked me out that it was at windshield height as it came across the road, and of course for a split second I'm thinking I didn't see what I saw and maybe I clipped a bicycle or something. Thankfully it wasn't a major catastrophe, I didn't run off the road or anything like that. But yes it was pretty scary.

 

Hi Johnboy: We are still in the smaller truck.Unloading in milton now then going to pittston to change trucks. We are going to load Mon at 1400 for Kent Wa NY Times.

 

If you're in Milton, as in Florida, then I must have seen you yesterday. The mystery is solved now, and next time I see you I'll speak to you on a first name basis, well atleast a "user" name basis.

 

I think they were talking about Milton Pa not Florida if I'm not mistaken.
