    Seen a JB do that one night in Ohio on I-70, he took a service road instead of a on ramp. Then instead of backing out of there he tried to turn around in a farm entrance, ended up laying it over on it's side.

    You don't get to make too many bad decisions in a row in this job.

    Was that eastbound yesterday 092911? If so I think I saw that when I was rolling westbound about mm287 or something like that.By the time I got there there was a big wrecker about to hook up, 5-0 had both lanes blocked. 5 miles down the road the scuttlebutt had changed that a big truck had rear ended somebody so hard the tractor was on one side of the road, trailer on the other.

    And you wonder why the turnover rate is so high in this industry!

    Luckily he pulled his "dumb card" on himself and didn't hurt anybody with his moronic way of thinking.

    Pink slip?

    Well, I didn't get a phone call yet, so likely he's not one of mine or he's too embarrassed to call me. Hopefully the former and not the latter.
