    Shure looked like an officer in the bed of the truck!!!:jaw:


    A lot of what burned me out on truck driving is the cell phone phenomenon... When I started in trucking in the early 2000's there wasn't any and it WAS much safer when I left then came back to it years later well..... That is a daily scene where I was running almost always due to either the truck or the car on a phone... People put the suction cup in front of their face on the windows or hold it I have even spotted a few tapped to the steering wheels...

    Id say at east twice a day I would narrowly miss an accident wether its a truck or car causing it and I do mean narrowly. You gotta have nerves of steel to be a trooper, first responder or even a good truck driver because of that type of accident.

    This was my moment. I know dad didn't see the truck coming and pulled out in front of him. But the truck was loaded, speeding and on a road he was not routed to be on. This was 6-20-01...
    My dad didn't suffer with cancer anymore...this happened right in front of his shop. 1228192110.jpg

    That’s pretty hard to see Jeff.
    I’m sorry.
    You will get to see him again one day.
    God bless his soul, and your heart for bearing it all these years.

    That is appropriate to say every day. Both for safety and guidance for the split second decisions.

    It tears me up inside to see the videos of scum pouring water and other things on our fine law enforcement members.
