Pictures please… Thank you.
Dangerous section of road, with a large water hazard! Slow down and resist the urge to water-ski in your vehicle…
That’s one way of washing your truck,but I wouldn’t recommend it!!!
I wonder what his cargo was. It looks like a lot of plastic!
Evie it looks like bags of soil.
It’s bags of fertilizer- will feed the algae 🙁
I don’t think trying to dock his truck worked out well.
Don’t big rig drivers have to pass driving tests any more? I’ve driven that road a hundred times. It’s not that difficult!
Kym, my particulars fell out of the site again, or have you 86’d me?
You should be 86ed so no one has to be subject to the ignorant comments you spout off.
If I 86 you, your comments don’t appear. I don’t know what happened but my guess is you cleared your cookies?
