We we're hoping it was a freightliner hit an actual big grayhound dog and the story was, freightliner totaled, dog scratches ### and walks off. Yes i know shame on me for a sense of levity on such an occasion.

So someone penciled their PTI and blew a steer and wasn't prepared to deal with that.
Yup, we should allow even more immature people to drive trucks. Pretty soon we won't need to have wars for population control.
Hope it saved an ATA member some money to hire whoever it was.
May the victims families find both peace and a #### good lawyer.New/OldSchoolTrucker89 and buddyd157 Thank this. -
Just saying. -
Well my post was deleted. But it didn't have anything to do with the accident, so there's that.

But how did you hear it while you were driving?
I'm glad you asked. I wasn't wearing a hoodie, or earbuds. The radio was turned off. I wasn't talking on the phone. I had my windows cracked. And I was listening to the truck. Yes, that's right. I listen to the truck while driving. I pay attention to how it reacts. I investigate strange odors, sounds or movements.
I heard the air leak through the crack in the passenger side window, the sound reflecting off the concrete side of a bridge that I passed over. It stopped every time the bolt contacted the road. My next stop happened to be about a mile down the road, and the truck was handling normally, so I continued on and planned to investigate after stopping.
When I found the problem, I positioned the truck with the tire rotated to stop the leak, got road service scheduled, and started unloading the truck. By the time I had finished my delivery, road service had replaced the tire, and I lost no time.
Pay attention to your truck while you're driving. -
