    Back in 2011,I was driving a route in a straight truck(that particular day). Any way drove thru Topeka,Ka on I-70 everything fine ,going 65mph everthing great looked in the mirrors nothing to see. Then Wham,guy pulling construction debris trailer fell asleep 80+mph and slammed in the back of me. The truck Lunged 20 ft (almost lost control and layed it over) A couple seconds after I "regained my composure",I looked in mirror,BAM! he raked down drivers side of me. Then he couldnt get stopped till 4 blocks ahead of me. He starts walking towards me" Are you alright? I said I guess"If you dont mind me asking"What the hell happened back there? Telling me how tired he is and worked 50-hrs and not driving his truck again. I had bent liftgate,square rim on back,twisted fuel tanks,concrete drill bits busted my windshield. He got a string of tickets"excess dunnage",failure to maintain lane etc.The nice company I was with allowed me to ride in the tow truck an hour,then check out another rental truck. Oh,yeah then go take a drug test and work the next morning.
