    I whacked a tree branch hanging low over the road and our safety knuckleheads called it a preventable, so I’m getting ready to raise hell over that.

    I should take a picture of the top of my trailer. The dent is so massive, I think I lost a cubic foot of trailer space inside from hitting so many trees. This was from running Hilton Head and Charleston right after the last big hurricane.

    Routes that were previously passable now had trees hanging over the roadway. I was trying so hard to straddle the zipper line but there was also oncoming traffic. Just as everything seemed to clear, one massive branch grazed my wind dam and smashed into my trailer. It sounded like a shotgun going off .

    I had like large amounts of vegetation sitting on my catwalk and all over the top and back of my trailer. On the bright side, I cleared a path for the next drivers.

    Top was docks fault. Bottom was my fault forgot a load lock. This will ruin your day. Pretty much sums up which is harder.

    That’s weird. Just your warehouse I guess...We keep them with the cooler items and the stores put them in the coolers.
