rsb502 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 The truck that coupled up to the train is a track inspector that put on the track and came around a curve to meet a train coming at him. The back hoe was driving on the road and the explorer actually cut across behind it and caught the boom flipping it over on themselves.

other dog Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I won't have much free time tomorrow so I'm posting a day early...Not my proudest moment, actually one of my worse. I was southbound on SR 59 in the west suburb's of Chicago. I was running a very short round that week because I needed to be home to see my girlfriend at the time graduate from college. So anyway on Tuesday morning I had delivered on the north side and it looked like I might make my next drop south west of Chicago before the customer went home that afternoon. I was traveling in a line of traffic & was following an empty bulk hauler. The area we were in was two lane and a vehicle up ahead slowed to make a left turn, the truck & line of traffic, in front of me drifted right into a right turn lane to go around the vehicle turning left so I did the same. Suddenly the bulk hauler slowed, no brake lights (he was running empty and had a jake which really slowed him down) I tried to slow as well as his brake lights finally came on and he whipped his truck back to the left. I was closing too fast so I stayed in in the right turn lane but he didn't get completely back into the left lane before he came to a complete stop. I couldn't get stopped and clipped him, my left front to his right rear. It turns out at the end of the right turn lane, directly at the point the vehicle had been setting to make the left turn there was a concrete island that forced vehicles to turn right into a church parking lot. The entire line of traffic in front of the bulk hauler had moved over to go around the vehicle turning left then they all braked and whipped back into the lane & had to stop behind the vehicle turning left. The cop who investigated the accident talked to the other driver & asked him if I deserved a ticket for anything that I had done and he told the cop that he didn't believe that I was following too close, speeding or doing anything improper. He felt that traffic just began to stack up very quickly and it was the actions of persons in front of both of us that lead to me hitting him. Of course I was at fault but I didn't get any tickets. I replayed that morning in my head 100's of times trying to decide if I could have done anything different and the only thing that I think I could have done is to have began braking when I seen the line of traffic move right to pass the left turning vehicle instead of trying to maintain my speed. The thing that has always bothered me was how quick that truck slowed down with just the jake brake on because his brake lights did work but that jake was very tight.That's what I was saying about "stuff happens", you try to be careful, but it can happen to anybody. I loaded a load of sheetrock in Philadelphia one Friday morning in 1980 and unloaded in Fredericksburg, Va. that afternoon. I was driving an '84 K100, going across rt. 20 over to Orange, where i'd take 15 south to go home. It was raining and a car pulled out in front of me from a store. I hit the brakes and started sliding, got off the brakes, car still sitting there, jump on the brakes again, see I won't be able to stop in time, so I got off the brakes to pass in the left turn lane, and sure enough- the car decides to turn left. I nailed him in the left rear quarter panel, and I also got a ticket.Just bent the bumper a little on the truck, I drove it on home. Probably totaled that p.o.s. Cordova I hit. He shouldn't have pulled out, and when he did he shouldn't have been lollygagging around.They go by the "big truck rule" there, which states "Whenever there's an accident involving a big truck, the big truck is automatically at fault, regardless of the circumstances". 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

BAD DOG Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Here's a photo of my 92 MH 613 in late 2006 and here's what happened to it Mar. 1 2007 when a woman in a Chevy Corsica meeting me lost control in the rutted up snow and skidded into my path and flattening the car across the front of my truck killing the woman and here 2 small children. It was the worst day I've ever had at work. Not to mention the loss of my truck put me out of being an o/o. Thankfully no other vehicles were invoked the road was very busy and I'm very thankful I walked away from it all without a scratch but extremely tense for a couple days.
