8-27-10 Even I goof up!!!!!! hahahahaha

Just to prove that I don't think that I am a perfect driver. This video shows how quick a driver can make a mistake. I made this one - even know I have 12 years of driving an 18-wheeler.

 But no harm = no foul. Nothing  hit or damaged. Which is a great thing, but I put myself in what could have been a too tight of an area. I would have had to back out of this entry spot, if it was way crowded or tighter turns...

8-26-10 Big Diamondback Rattlesnake in Oklahoma

Captured this in video but it goes by to quick - so I took a snapshot from video.

8-25-10 Cutt Closely

On I-40 in Ok. suv nearly clips me. Cutting this close in front of a big truck is a very dangerous move. Patience for one minute to move over whould have put them far enough to have passed safely.

8-19-10 someone always in a hurry

 This video is really nothing special, but it shows how some people will be in a hurry just to get infront of someone. this move is particuly dangerous passing on the right side as he is comming onto the interstate in Atlanta.

8-11-10 - To Close for comfort - Barelly Missed

 In this 2 min. video (Cam clipped to visor - better quality - might wanna lower volume - Radio playn a story about fire safety). Watch the Ryder truck - as soon as it jumps in left turn lane - look to the right......... I am hualing a 45,000 lbs Steel Coil loaded Suicide (pics of one will come at a later date and time). Loaded Sucide is when the "eye" (hole) is from left to right on trailer.  Meaning if not secured properly and the chains break in a hard stopping incident - the coil will roll off of flatbed -straight thru my truck like a steam roller -killing the driver and any body in front of the big truck hauling it.
