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.
