So; before I forget.
I wanted to say thank you to people that thought about me, and the other truck drivers, over the past few (windy) days.
Thank you for the calls, texts and thoughts.
I was touched by all of them, and amused by some of them.
One of the warmest, and most amusing included the line . . . .
" . . . debated all day to text or not . . . don't try texting back. Just take care."
Due to the advances of teknologys, it's actually easier and safer for me to make and take calls than it is to read, or write texts. The magic piece of modern communication equipment HLB bought me for my last birthday allows me to send and "Auto-response" text by pressing only 2 buttons, that tells the sender that I'm driving and can't really respond by text.
Me and a mate (on the same firm) were trying to keep a tally via the radio news of how many trucks had gone over, but lost count at 14. I think that was Thursday.
I only actually saw two, (both curtain-siders) but heard of others on the same road as I was on at the time. Some behind me, some ahead.
It's very unusual for containers to be blown over, due mainly to the weights we tend to run at. Although they do have a definite "design" danger in that they have a “square” roofline.
Here’s a couple of pics from the dock rows.
Looks like the weather's gonna get nasty next week too.
