    Not my truck load below. It's how my boss got his last truck load. He grew up in a logging family and his brother still logs.

    I'm thinking of buying a load.

    :eek: I made it to my driveway with a load Kentucky Coffeetree. I was little shook, so I forgot to take a better pic of the sweet load. Bent door and tie rod. The accord drove away minus 5lbs of plastic :doh:

    That sucks! Glad you’re alright and your load of wood wasn’t hurt. What’s your plan for the door? Pretty bad dent?

    I don’t know if he was looking at his phone, or nodded off. I have to be slow rolling to make the turn and was signaling.
    Found a Buprenorphine and Naloxone package in my driveway when I was picking up plastic.

    The door won’t fully open. The wheel took most of the impact.

    Glad everyone was ok.

    Nope and the cop tore up the ticket. I don’t know if the offender is a retired cop, or politician. He has Gov employees insurance. The whole situation was shady. The cop handed me a ticket for not having my license with me. He tore that up too.

    Can't like this crap. Who's determined at fault for insurance purposes?

    I wondered if you were turning into your own driveway, and then I saw the massive stacks in the background. :thumbs:

    Car accidents are the worst. I hope it doesn’t set you back too much time/money.

    Edit: I reread your first post and see that you clearly stated “my driveway.” And here I am thinking that Honda driver was spacey!

    Glad it wasn't worse for either of you. It would be nice if his insurance would fix your truck...

    It’s my employers truck and another crews truck, so it jacks up their work schedule and is one less wood hauler. The guy had been behind me for a few miles and was lucky he didn’t catch the bed with his face.

    Few hrs of sawing and a beautiful day to do it! Got the biggest nastiest twisted stuff I had and sawed it all up. Burned over a gallon of fuel. Trying to do it with the splitter had become frustrating. Definitely took longer, but nice to have that stuff out of the way. Ready for some 24” and smaller stuff for a while:rofl: :lol: Too much :headbang: BE2C7D47-D993-4EEC-867A-A94B80BCB61E.jpeg
