Truck driver b.s.

Rain here today. 1 down and 4 to go........

 

There’s a bunch of tragic bridge boat collisions. I remember reading about one of a foggy day and there wasn’t a signal so nobody knew about it for a while and people just drove into the fog and disappeared.

 

So on my last run I'm heading back to my yard, m t, cruising on the freeway, up ahead I see 2 cars come together in the lane I'm in. I stand on the brakes, hit my flashers and watch a jeep wrangler go across all 4 lanes and drill the median wall head on. Other car goes of the side. A guy right behind them manages to get slowed and off the road without contact. I had to drive through the plastic debris field. Damn thankful I carry extra underwear now, lol.
So I compose myself, thank the lord again and keep going on my way. Get to my yard, hit the dock, and get the next load. I'm standing on the dock and talking with one of our drivers and I hear a crash behind me, I knew what it was. 4,000 lbs of wheel studs just got dumped going into my trailer. Forklift driver took the turn a little to fast.

I swear these wheel studs are cursed! Same stuff I was carrying when I had the wreck.
So how's your day going drivers? Lol.

 

Well that sucks! At least you did your part and avoided the bs, forklift dude in trouble ?

 

Boring! This is what I've been doing

 

Probably not just use a shovel and scoop up and put back in bins

 

I don't think so, hope not. Mistakes happen, tubs get dumped all the time. When you move as much of this stuff as we do it's bound to happen.

 

But it has to be a plastic shovel.

 

That's pooch abuse! Lol.

 

As to not scratch or dent.

 

She got to eat it all. And actually it's part of her training and daily food intake.

 

Who got the contract for the new Baltimore bridge delivery ?

 

Good morning driver's y'all be careful and have a good day today.

 

HUMPDAY! Halfway there.
Have a good one drivers.

 

Training a new guy, had to leave the pooch at home. New guy came from Alaska… chasing a woman.

 

Damned fool...

 

One of the videos I saw showed a semi crossing just seconds before the ship hit.

 

I know chasing a woman is going to get the guy tangled but hey he’s 23 and a nice guy so.

 

8 hours yesterday, been slow at work. Max 9 hour days this week, I'm OK with that.
