At least the driver is just banged up. Could have had a mini van full of kids with the mom checking her phone right beside him, it could have been way worse.
I get to work all day today. I'll do my best not to kill over in this dam heat. It's all work and no play lately.
This is now known as the 2022 Tulsa Water Truck Massacre
Fairbanks had the contract for the IL dot scales for a while (may still have them) I have cut out several of the old ones and after seeing the state of their scales I would fight any over weight ticket they ever issued.Second job behind all the others Hauled gas, diesel and JP with a Open no baffle tank. Guy bought POS Us mil surplus was 8500 gal cap, STEEL with tool boxes and a pump setup under it. Could not scale but 6200 gal legally where had 7400 in it one winter evening to Jerseyville IL airport for a helo service, a little frozen precip on ground and had to cross IL scale halfway up on Hwy 100.
Needless to say scale was open, followed a truck onto scale throttled up and slammed load to rear as steer hit scale and slammed brakes, had to have been all balled up as it hit the front wall, all the axles slid on grade except steer it slammed scale table forward and it locked up.
Scalemaster NOT happy, ran outside screaming destruction of state property blah blah blah, all the time truck is slipping back and forth some few inches as load kept slogging.
Told me GTF off his scale and I left, scale never reopened. I brokened it!!!
Saved my wallet a little coin cost IL a bundle!
How the hell is an idiot that can’t even put a diff plug back in going to replace one?!?
I think we need to bring back beating the hell out of such idiots. Violence IS the answer.
You will be there in no time with this weather we are having. Just don't drink any fluid for a day or 2!It would be easier if I could lose about 30 lbs. in the next few days.
