Thank you for the post on the truck accident in Florida.
I do not believe that all these gas trucks are loosing control, Bill drove the Mobil gas truck -local and short hops to deliver, and a friend Bernie also drove the big one.
I can promise you, that neither of them ran around loosing control.
Maybe in the late 1970's there was a gas shortage and if Bill had to take a run to one of the small towns, nearby, it got so bad that his boss rode with him, with a shot gun.
Several times people tried to run him off the road, or force him to stop, then it would have been a stolen gas truck.
They tried running him off the road and stopping him with cars, they didn't know that Bill was one of those tunnel vision people, if his job was to deliver a load of gas, that is what he did......
Once they tried blocking the roadway with a couple cars, he slowly kept driving, pushed them out of the way and never stopped. His truck was a old one, made out of iron and didn't dent........LOL
In those days there the cell phones had not been invented, but they did finally put a CB in the trucks.
Some one is forcing these trucks to have accidents.
The normal cargo carrier runs longer hours and for longer periods of time, I can understand them going to sleep, or taking too many pills to stay awake.
Hi granny...thanks for your help with figuring out these connections. Your thoughts, are always greatly appreciated. I also think that the companies who are hiring "undocumented workers"....ILLEGALS to you and I...are placing the general public in peril. I can't tell you how many times I will see a tanker with "hazardous placards" barreling down and interstate well above the posted speed limit...only to look over and see a driver who looks like they can barely understand English!
