on I-95 going to NJ going 70mph the truck ahead of me had to be atleast going 75mph and there was a PT Cruiser behind him and his last tire from the trailer axle flew off and went streight into the Pt Cruisers windshield. i don't know what happend after that because i was shocked!!!!
also the sierra nevada mountains when they have their big winter storms on the California Nevada state line and when your going down the mountain and your about the only truck there at 3am now that's some scary #####. but when it's really bad they shut the road down for days.

Said he paid about a grand for it. This was a high tech blow up doll... except it was very realistic looking with real hair and passed as a live butt naked woman woman... not a blow up doll... Ed said the guy was mighty proud of it and had just bought it around there somewhere and was taking it to his truck.... Ed told him that is a lot of money to pay... He told Ed that it was cheaper than his last wife....
Ed told me he would have waited till dark to get that thing to the truck, but this fellar was mighty proud of her...

Old fort aint bad. Can run down it close to 50. Well you use to could before all the little slown down signs & restricting trucks to slower.

My black dogs ran across out of sheer exhaustion. Black beauties and all didn't seem to work for me, so I stayed away. (a good thing over all)
Another bad effect of an 18 hour drive is not being able to tell wether or not you're going uphill or downhill...had to fly by instruments!
...so THAT's what the boost gauge is for...!Last edited: Jun 1, 2009

Watching my trailer tires lift off the pavement from high winds at the bottom of the Cajon Pass.
Going head on with a wrong way driver with no place to pull over on HWY 20 in Utah.
Witnessing a 2:30 am double fatality rollover north of Baker, CA. Mother and toddler thrown out of 4 wheeler on southbound side and ended up on northbound side with vehicle on top of her. Toddler ended up about 10 feet behind vehicle in the hammer lane. It took a while to get those images out of my head. -
My scarist momnet came about ten years ago. Watching one of my buds in front of me head on a ford ranger that came into our lane after a car pulled out in front of them, with a loaded quad grossing bout 86K. My bud didn't get hurt,other than knees from the dash & gut from the wheel. Elderly couple in the ranger were dead on impact.
Only "good" that came out of it. The lady that pulled in fornt of the ranger was charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter. -
When I looked in my wallet and everything was gone!!!

Seriously pulling my first load of logs doing about 55mph going around a curve when I realize that equalizer was broke on the trailer that wood was rocking back forth very hard I hammered that Big Cam to straighten her out scared me half to death
