Trucker in cab killed in overnight fire at Alabama truck stop
I’m not quite sure but the truck looks like a Mack-possibly a Pinnacle or Anthem or another model.

####. Hard to imagine sleeping and then randomly truck goes up in flames at 3am.
How does that even happen?The one california kid, Bud A. and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
I don't know how this driver's truck caught fire, but don't use open flames in the truck. If you've ever knocked over your coffee cup, imagine knocking over a camping stove next to your bed.

A buddy who does local was using a company sleeper truck to do 2 regional runs after his first run. He ran home in his pick up so he started bunk heater to keep cab warm when he was on his way back he got a call from his boss saying the firefighters wanted to know how to shut his truck off.. somehow truck started when bunk heater caused a interior fire he ended up disconnecting battery to shut it off . Electrical gremlins do strange things.. I’ve had a alternator catch fire on a Mazda GLC winter beater I had it burnt through the firewall .
