My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

As a driver, there are few things that scare me more than slightly elevated train tracks. There's never a lot of room between the gear and the ground and when the nose of the rig goes up, it eventually must go down. If it goes down at the wrong time, the gear hangs and...well, there's the video.

 

That is a bad day

 

There is a poster in the Dallas/Seagoville Texas Heartland Terminal of a Heartland trailer in the exact same distress. Except this crossing had about 5 no commercial vehicle signs on it and a sign warning of the sharp drop. Didn't seem to matter much, the driver went anyway.

 

You just can't fix stupid.....

 

No habla english senior por fa voir.

 

Yes, I sure did.....just havent had the time yet.....been busy busy busy!!!!

 

OK, so....I roll into Pontoon Beach yesterday to clear out my truck and remember they were so concerned about liability issues???? Well, they LEFT THE TRUCK UNLOCKED AND NOT EVEN IN THE SECURE AREA, I STILL HAD MOST OF MY GPS AND OTHER SUNDRY ITEMS IN THERE.....I WAS NOT CHALLENGED OR ASKED ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT i OR MY FRIEND WHO WAS HELPING ME WERE DOING. NOT ONCE....SO MUCH FOR LIABILITY HUH????

 

It's in all their terminals. You really can't fix stupid, but you can try to show others how to avoid it. May I never get a load from that place.

 

Good grief. You would think...

 

And it wasn't even in the secure area....was in the short term parking out front.
