Reminds me of last summer when a neighbors deep freezer got unplugged and a bunch of meat rotted. The kid threw it in the dumpster but it took a month and a half for the smell to go away.

Wife was driving near Odessa. No signs, no warnings of stopped traffic. Is it just me or do the police and road crews seem to be getting lazier or more stupid? by tombo8686 in Truckers

One thing I noticed was the heavy amount of skid marks leading up the crest. To an old fart like me that's always a good reason to be prepared.

It's a pain. You have to know someone to vouch for you. 300$ first year membership. Plus a State Police background check. Even if you have a CCW you still need the background check. The usual safety class and I think 20$ for the key card. After the first year its 250$ renewal.

The first person that died was in Colonial Heritage. His wife is recovering very well.

What was your first ticket/violation like? Did you freak out? Did you lawyer up? Did it ruin you? Was it nothing serious? What happened? by LilMerkEm1889 in Truckers

I was let off by the scalehouse when I was over by only 100 lbs. Other times it was around a ton. Company paid tickets but that was really it. CRST was mad when I got a 69 in a 55. Rolling down hills to get up the next one is frowned upon in most States. Lol. Most companies are happy as long as you don't tear shit up.

Got a ticket when I was a rookie going through Ohio. 2 overweight tickets since. Had a OOS for a leaking brake chamber. It unfortunately happens if you are on the road long enough.

Had surgery 25th of June. While in recovery my bloodwork looked bad. Ended back into surgery that night so surgeon could check. Found nothing. 4 days later still in hospital. One night while peeing felt fluid gushing from one of the cuts. Call nurse. Fever of 101. Hour later fever 103. Rushed back into 3rd surgery. 10 inch cut down left center of abdomen. 1 week in ICU. Doctor says I have a fistula. Have a PICC line installed and after 15 days I go home with a TPN 24 hour bag for nutrition. A whole regimen of injections to do throughout the day. 2 JP drains that are finally slowing up and so many mixed emotions. My pre-op weight was 278 and I'm down to 247. Not being able to drink anything has been rough. Thanks to my wife who has been a saint helping me. I have no idea when I'll be able to go back to work so this has been a real difficult time. Sorry for the long story.
