    Do you mind sharing the city where the shooting happened?

    I certainly can't top your story but I knew a driver who was robbed on the south side of ATL. They made him get on his knees and they put a pistol to the back of his head but no shots were fired

    I love it! Everyone asks about my dog. Yes, she was fine. When he shot me the first time in the right arm it instantly released my grip I had on her leash so she could run away.

    And I'd rather not disclose the city this happened in. I'll say it was in Mississippi. The guy hasn't gone through the legal system yet.

    Well that is one hell of a story
    I sure hope you are able to make a full recovery eventually
    This is a crazy business we are in , I cant image being focused on looking for a trailer and then having things go that far south so fast.
    Glad you made it through

    I had a truck with a CB in it last year.

    A guy was doing some schizophrenic play involving his neighbors and drug abuse and child abuse allegations, using their real names and stuff. Couldn't get a word in edgewise.

    That was the first time I'd run a CB in 15 years, and probably the last. I don't suffer fools well.

    The dog was not shot.
    Only the driver.
    Thanks for your concern, though.
     
    The_vett and drivingmissdaisy Thank this.

    Do you need any help from the trucking community up here on TTR?

    No I don't, but thanks for asking. I just need time to recover. Both mentally and physically.

    I got shot at too.
    Fortunately the rifle bullet missed me.
    No injuries thankfully.
    But a busted driver window.
    Parked overnight in Buena Park CA.
    The funny question the Police officers asked for their report:
    'If we catch the perp, do you want him/her prosecuted?'
    'Yes, Sir. By all means.' That was my answer.
    Haven't heard from them since.
     
    Blue jeans and The_vett Thank this.

    If you ever want to talk about it, we are here for you.
    This is such a crazy story I am sure everyone is curious.
    You must be tough as a coffin nail to survive such a brutal attack.
    It must be exhausting to relive it though so no worries if you want to keep it to yourself
    Just know you are in our thoughts
