Saw this along the 680 in California earlier today heading towards the weigh station.
I could see a lot of smoke from a distance.

At this point it could easily be surmised that the flaming flatbed was parked along the easement leading into the stupid station.Sirscrapntruckalot Thanks this. -
The fire in this picture looks closer than it actually is. I'm actually a lane and a half away from the stupid station conflagration, but could easily feel the heat from the flames.
This flat bed was hauling what looked to be plywood wrapped in plastic, and only the forward-most stack was ablaze.
Dunno how this load caught fire. Ike Stephens might call this flatbedder the Bonehead trucker of the week, but I call him a hero for taking one for the team by shutting down a stupid station.
I hope he doesn't lose his job.Sirscrapntruckalot, D.Tibbitt, mjd4277 and 3 others Thank this. -
