Wow Been Awhile

I haven't posted anything for awhile but things sure heated up this year in more ways than one. In my personal life an Aunt passed away shortly after the last posting.
We had the flood of Nashville and mother passed away May 25th from cancer. We have a few more months to go hope they will get better. I am thankful to still be working and on a brighter note I learned how to put a camcord movie on youtube.

Rough Thursday Night

One driver started out the night by going into the store and while he was gone someone left there car in neutral and it jumped the curb and hit a fuel tanker. The car was damaged a little but the tanker was not. The driver took off before anyone could get her information.

Stolen Tractor Trailer Foiled By Driver

Someone stole a tractor at exit 6 KY truckstop a week ago or so and then hooked up to steal a trailer in another lot however the kingpin did not latch and they made it out into the middle of the intersection where the trailer hit ground. They took off heading southbound with the tractor and I believe left it at the top of the intersection. I am not sure if they have been apprehended or not. I am also not sure if the thief tried to latch with a king pin lock as I heard may have been in place.

Racer X Eats The Bridge

Well tommorrow it is back to the grind for now. last week was very interesting if not out right tenuous. The snow quit on saturday and the roads were clear and dry when I headed out for my first load sunday evening. Around mm 99 southbound a little Camaro with racer X came whizzing by in the hammer lane and i felt a bit of uneasiness so I began to brake and luckily because he started to fishtail as he came up on a Bronco and then suddenly he was sliding sideways in my lane, the car jeking violently and almost flipping. I hit the hammer lane as he hit the bridge and prayed he would not bounce back under my truck. Thank you Lord. God bless you a;ll and have a safe week. Pugs

Another Night With Tragedies

Tri star had a tanker roll over on the ramp entering Briley pkwy off of Centennial Rd. A trucker drove into a ditch at the Pilot in Franklin Ky. The roads were clean and dry at the time.

Happy New Year Memories of Last Year

I just got back from Boston after visiting Aunt QAgness 83 years old and diagnosed with cancer. God Bless I Got searched like a terrorist! Patted Wanded and Questioned. Oh well at least I look tough! Love you America! Truckers Keep Trucking Things Always get Better

Here are a couple of the most memorable moments from last year. I spotted a truck that was about to finish fueling at an island. It was quite obvious the driver would have to back up to get out, however he did not realize he would not make it, and pulled forward hitting the curb by the pump and almost tore his fuel tank steps of the rig. He then tried again to go forward once again and blew out a tire. I guess by then he had it figured out. Last I saw, looked like he was calling dispatch.

One other memorable episode this year was when a trucker pulled his trailer over a 5 foot post, the ones that protect the gas pumps, just in back from where the landing gear sits and dragged the post almost back to his tandems ripping the whole bottom of the trailer out. Fallon who was the cashier stated she almost got run down when she ran out and told him to stop his truck and he did not.
