    Did these mishaps all happen up in Michigan? Never drove there until this past year, but I have found "Pure Michigan" drivers to be a bit of a challenge at times!
    Maybe I was too used to N.Y. metro area drivers................:rolleyes:

    Sometimes reading Ridgeline's posts I wonder if he is just a retired o/o seating bored at home and making up all kinds of fleet/business stories on the internet to keep himself busy :rolleyes:

    I would make a comment about something in the water up here, but that's too obvious a joke.

    Monday, out if about 30 trucks in our yard, we had...
    1. A hit a run. A van took the front end off a tractor and took off down the road.
    2. Truck going in a roundabout, and an impatient pickup trying to go around clipped the dot bumper.
    3. Thursday night. Another serious wreck.

    Not our company, but Tuesday there were at least 5 seperate wrecks around I75 and I69. Clear roads even.

    It's been a not fun week.

    Was that roundabout accident at 75 and Bristol by any chance?

    Both on Monday were actually. The hit and run was coming out of the plant waiting for traffic to clear.
    The trailer hit was heading west through the roundabout the get to 75
