it happened at 1130 am those are form the night when they loaded it up. i had to at least to myself jerry. had to be a man about it. just wanting to heal so i can get back to work. albeit with another company.
were you hauling fuel? I have a buddy that works for a company that hauls jet fuel in one of them Dakotas. they work locally and swap going there for a month and back local. Glad you made it through the rough ride chit happens your alive that's the main thing.
Glad to hear that you're ok scooter, chalk it up to experience.
Glad you are not in worse shape than you are. Give your body time to heal and the rest will take care of itself.
Ditto all the above glad your safe and well. Heal fast, good luck with the new job search, and hang in there.
Crikey!
You're a lucky man!
Get better soon...a machine can be replaced...you can't.
.
Glad you're doing okay, Scooter, and I wish you good luck getting a new job.
Also, hats off to you, my friend, for immediately admitting that the wreck was your fault. I'd think the first thing most people do in a situation like that is try to "CYA" by trying to fabricate some story to make himself look less at fault.
I say that because one night a few years ago I was driving home after working a double shift at the airport. I just plain WENT TO SLEEP and rear-ended a Camaro that had slowed down before making a left turn. The driver had his wife and little boy in the car with him. It was very fortunate that nobody was seriously injured because I trashed that Camaro pretty well. There was no way I could BS my way out of it. Obviously my fault so I 'fessed-up fast.
Get well quick,
Jim
Take your time healing, rushing it won't make it better Good luck with job hunt
Glad you didn't sustain any major injuries or hurt anyone else. We best learn from our mistakes. Get well and, get back on the horse, all be it a different horse!
Gasser..Mate,,that's one pickled Peterbilt..Glad to see you didn't get too much damage on your own body..I echo everyone else's sentiments here..Heal up and get back on the horse..Hope you get another job quickly..Your boss sounds like a good man,for helping you out..:cool:
Damn!! bet that was a bumpy ride,,, I drove trucks for a spell back in the late 60"s ,I watched a some grain hauler miss a curve , run off into a deep drainage ditch,,and ended up making love to the sunviser, to bad that was his last trip ever, and mine too,, couldn't tell the boss quick enough to take that job and shove it,, I'm sure you know you are a lucky man to walk away from that ,,
Get well soon and good luck finding that next job,, skin grows back ,a life doesn't,,
Of all the things I've done in my life, none of them includes chauffeuring a big rig. I would cut little donuts out of the seat upholstery every time I encountered an overpass, so I won't even try to drive one. Thank God you weren't killed. Since you cheated death, you must now begin thinking about what your Maker has in store for you. I should have been dead a dozen times ago, but have been saved for some greater purpose known only to my Maker. It's what makes life interesting.
'You've got to get back on that horse' is good advice.
I drove milk tankers for many years and managed to tip one onto its side when the road itself collapsed beneath me.
I was undamaged as was the truck...but I was shaken around like a pea in a whistle.
The Transport Manager had me in another truck within an hour...and, looking back, it was what I needed; it was good therapy.
It also showed me that he had confidence in my abilities as a driver.
It's funny how instinct kicks in; I would have been in high fifth when the road started to sink...when the truck finally came to rest I was in low second...and didn't remember changing down through the gears to try and pull it out.
Maurie LeProu, the local veterinarian, was about five cars behind me when it happened, and when I managed to push the door up and climb out he was laughing fit to bust.
"Do it again johnboy; I wasn't watching!"
With friends like that, who needs enemies?
.
Glad you're going to be ok!!
Sounds like a good boss!
Definitely your Guardian Angel was ridin' shotgun..O:-)
Glad you're alive Scooter.
Now....................DON'T EVER do that again!!!!!
