When good days go bad!!!

[IMG][/IMG]

Driver walked away without a scratch thanks to his seat belt, he took the corner of k-42 and k-2 a little sharper than he should have in this wind and layed it over, spent all day out in the wind chasing 25 tons of trash into the next county and gettin the truck back up on it's wheels. There is at least a weeks worth of work to get the trailer road worthy and another 3-4 weeks to get the truck put back together.

Sounds like a little job security for you. Of course you are probably busier than heck before that happened.

Figuratively or literally? Because working where you do it could go either way
