    Hey Tangerine... I am glad you are ok and the so is the truck... It's amazing and quite fortunate that there was no damage to the truck... with all the plastic and fiber glass... :biggrin_2554: Wish you all the best with your transition and be safe... :biggrin_25519:

    Delivered this morning in Duncan, OK and after one hr DSP sent me next load... Called shipper to make sure load was ready and address was correct and headed their way... They were pretty fast loading me... got scaled and now parked at a rest area in KS.... going to SLC again... Not very fun to haul 40,000 lbs of glass all the way to UT... :biggrin_2552: trying to be careful, taking it easy and slow specially on curves... but this Freightshaker doesn't help much... :biggrin_25512: Thankfully I will not be driving on I-65 IN... :biggrin_25523:

    I know , it seems these trucks are designed to explode when it hits something.

    I guess you could almost say the way it happened, that I didnt technically hit the deer. The deer hit me . Lol
    It turned and ran into the front wheel and I would amagine that the blood on the bumper was from the wheel going around and the lugs cut into the deer on impact.

    At the pilot in Harrisonville VA. Already regretting my decision to park here but did so because I need a shower. Already watched one truck swipe a mirror and there is still an open spot next to me so no shower until somebody is in that spot :biggrin_25516:
