Question:
What has made you say WOW! while going down the road, what is the craziest, wildest, thing that you have seen, or has happened to you going down the road while working.

Answer:
but plenty of things have made me say "Oh sh^t".
Such as the woman talking on her cell phone for 140 miles all the time speeding up to around 80 and the slowing down to about 40.
Or the idiot who passed me going down hill while I was grossed out at just under 80,000 lbs and cutting me off and then slamming the brakes on.
I will always be a mutter trucker at heart.
Answer:
Two weeks ago coming north on I75 from Cinncinnati, at around 2 am a car was along side me with their overhead light on. Glanced down and there was a drop dead gorgeous blonde stark assed nude. Grinning like a Cheshire cat and rode along side my truck for a few miles and then the next one and so on. Started out pretty quiet at first but after the first few drivers, it livened up pretty fast. She went from just north of Cincy to Lima before she finally got off. In more ways than one I',m sure.
Better to have it and not need it as need it and not have it!Just remember:If the world did'nt suck, you'd fall off!
The more I see and read about Republicans and Democrats, the more I wish we had an Independent Party.

"WOW! I am at my exit already? I don't even remember driving those last 80 miles! Amazing how a little nap behind the wheel makes the trip go by so much faster!"

Answer:
or "O Chit" moment almost every day. Truck net dosn't have the capacity for all the events we have all seen. The most exiting that has happend in a while way a few years ago.
I was going down Tuscora Mt. in PA. It is on hwy 30 inbetween I76 and I81. We have all seen the signs on the green stamp that says it is not recommended for trucks, any way. In my old JB cab over that didin't have a jake, I worked my way up the MT. got to the top and started my way down with 45000 pounds of steel coils. Jusr a little way into the down grade I new I needed a little lower gear. I breaked to about 10 (15 mph mt) and when to snatch it. The gear shifter broke off in the trany housing.in the lower gear. Needless to say it was a pain full ride down. This was the first time I had ever been down that mountain. My breaks caught fire and I caused some damage to the engine, but I made it down. That was a "WOW, O Chit" moment202 N Main Street

Answer:
I wasn't driving professionally, but was in a truck (if a pickup counts )
The last day of August, 1986, 17 years ago tomorrow afternoon, in fact. Travelling westbound on a detour of US 54 between Newton and Pratt, Kansas.
A carload of teenagers coming at me in the opposing lane dropped their right side tires off the asphalt, and then over-corrected to get back on. Tucked the front R wheel under, and rolled their car several times across the road and down an embankment into a tree. The roof hit the tree, and the demolished car settled back on its wheels. I drove through the dust cloud they made, and we missed by 50 feet at most.
Four occupants. One dazed but completely uninjured except for a bloody nose; one ejected and pulped against the tree; one trapped/crushed in the passenger-side front seat (and who was dead within 5 minutes from blood loss); and one unconscious and stretched out in the rear seat with a broken neck and covered with glass splinters.
The unhurt kid kept walking into the road, explaining how he had to get to Mrs. Croft's house because he was late.
There were no cell phones then, but the local REACT bunch was monitoring CH 9, and I put in a call to send the world... It was 20-25 minutes before anyone official arrived, and I was disgusted that except for one other guy, NOBODY stopped to help.
I spent most of my time trying to keep the in-shock kid out of the road, while the other guy held a compress to the head of the neck case. The other two kids were gone.
Then the World arrived, the pros took charge, and I went on down the road, stopping at the first place I saw with running water to wash all the blood off.
