Trucking

Trucking can be a very dangerous job. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that fact. This was on I-80 in Ohio yesterday around 2:50 pm local time. The incident was around the 102 mile marker, but we haven’t heard any more news about it. Hope the driver is ok. You all be safe out there.

    I hope everyone was OK, and really glad it wasn’t you two.

    That really doesn’t look good for the driver. I hope he was standing around on the side of the road somewhere and not in that mess.

    It did look very bad, but there were lots of people milling about over on the shoulder away from the truck. I hope he or she was one of them.

    And thanks, Ginny, me too.

    I’m glad it wasn’t you guys, especially as I-80 in Ohio is about 15 minutes away from me. Well, it’s the intersection of I-80 and 77 – I-80 is rather long so you could’ve been by Toledo for all I know. Hope Ohio treated you well.
