Well, you could have stopped and helped clean his mess up or stopped and put a knot on his head. You were one lucky man, Neil.

Whew. That was close. Glad you made it unscathed!

I had a driver pull a nice maneuver in the Oregon mountains yesterday. Very nice.

When we headed to the service center a month ago, had someone pull out to the area between east and west bound on route 30 in Indiana.

Unfortunately they didn’t stop in that area and just kept coming out. I was in the left lane passing someone turning right.

Luckily they heard the air horns and when we went by them, looking down out the driver side window, there was about a foot between their car and our rig. Could have been very bad.

I’ll have to pull the card from the dashcam and see if it is still on there.

LOL @sheridany - that's why I have my mic muted. My OTR commentary is not for public (or police) consumption. It's a good thing my coach has neither a GAU-8 or sidewinders!

Did I say something? I deny it completely. That was an invisible passenger.

That is why professionals have to stop regularly to check the load straps. Should be required education for anyone pulling a flat bed on public roads.

Wow you got lucky.
