I have a bit of a back log of pictures to add here, so here goes.
The first one is from driving today, the car on the left is one who tried to dive in at the last minute to exit, the one on the right was one of the entire group that refused to let him in, until they started to move towards his truck then he gave way.
The second picture was taken at the Petro in Glendale, KY. This is a tank on its way to Lima, OH, to be rebuilt.
The last three were taken down in Texas near Dallas. This FedEx truck took a left hand turn to fast and rolled the first trailer, which brought the tractor with it. The FedEx hub was just to the right, on the corner, he didn't even make it out of sight of the terminal before rolling his truck.

Wow! Impressive! Absolutely impressive!!
Never have I come across a blog where I read each and every entry from start to finish, or finish to start, in this case.
I started reading to see if you actually had to run up to St Kit's in Ontario for those engines, and where you were based, but after the third page of entries, I just visited your profile.
I read because it reminded me of a year I spent with an o/o where I rode shotgun on his runs from Ottawa (where I am from) down the southern States (FL, AL, GA, sometimes shorter to TN or even OH). If he was skedded to stay for short in- or inter-state hops of a week or more, I'd jump ship somewheres to work odd cash jobs and go fishing.
Yadda yadda, sorry. Your writing just brought back some great memories of a few decades ago (and, man, today's rigs are miles above what I rode in way back then!). And great writing it is!!
I hope to follow along with you in your travels, if only to see the changes over the years.
Good work! Keep it up!! Lemme tell ya, all this will make a great book someday!!!
Keep The Faith*
