    It’s just a bad week for USXpress & SRT all around. After the fiasco outside of Knoxville involving that dumb*** SRT driver nearly taking out the hotel and now this,they’re probably gonna have to either start selling trucks or start suckering more people into fleece purchase deals to cover all the damages!!! LOL
    Because they’re in it-up to their neck!!
     
    Bud A. Thanks this.

    I had a guy hit my trailer in Mt airy one night. Where we were parked he couldn't possible get out without sliding my loaded trailer 10 feet sideways or more. He kept backing up and pulling forward hitting me till I jerked him out of his volvo. He knocked me down 3 times while I was trying to get my pants on. lol The guy parked next to me had got up at all the commotion, but didn't get dressed, I was just grateful that I had pulled in and had a heavy iron extension on the back of my trailer, so all he was doing was destroying his dry van, he had spuds rolling out on the ground. lol

    That's a somewhat tight tricky corner to begin with, doable, but tricky. I can't imagine trying it with half the lanes gone. ...

    Right. So you roll down to the next best intersection and regroup.
    Young people get so attached to the GPS that they loose all common sense.
