"TALES FROM THE ROAD"..("JUST SAY NO!")..(2)

Whats Nam Doing On The Blogs On A Sunday...Of All Days?...Hes Supposed To Be Gone Traveling To Wherever He Has To Go?....There Has To Be A Reason Why Hes Not Out There?

(First Off...Im Writing This Because Its What I Want To Do)
(Its Just Something To Do...Seeing Im Not On The Road..... This Time Out)

This Driver Left Yesterday..(Saturday)..From Seekonk, Massachusetts...Bound For... Melivindale, Michigan..(Basically..Detroit)
The Unfortunate Thing Here Was...He Had To Leave During A Snowstorm
(Of Course...There Was Not A Soul In The Office.......In The Yard........Nobody Anywhere....Just This Driver

(Most Owners Of Trucking Companies Dont Care About The Drivers Safety...All They Care About Is ...The Load Getting To Where It Has To Go)...(So They Can Fill Their Bank Accounts..... Even More)

And The Driver Is Supposed To Know When To Say .........................."NO!..Its Too Dangerous!!

(This Driver Wanted To Say Those Words...But Seeing That A Few Other Drivers Had Already Left...(He Could See Their Tire Tracks...He Didnt Want To... "Look Bad"
So.....This Driver Leaves In The Middle Of A Snowstorm
(He Didnt Want To Ruffle The Higher Ups)

This Driver Thought He Could Make It Through The Snowstorm
He Was Wrong

This Driver Got As Far As The Middle Of Connecticut

He Was On 91 South...In Connecticut......(It Was Just About 2PM On That Saturday Afternoon)
(If One Didnt Know What Time It Was...One Would Think...... Its Just About Night Time)
The Snow Was Coming Down...Visibility Was Maybe 100 Feet....Speed?..30 MPHs

All Of A Sudden...This Driver..(Being A Lot Higher Up Than Most)..Could See The Brake Lights Going On................(Maybe A Half Mile Up Ahead)
So He Was Ready For What Might Possibly Be...... "About To Happen"
And Yep.....You Guessed It...........It Certainly Did Happen

You Can Read All About It..If you Want To
Just Type In..."Snowstorm Vehicle Pile Up On Route 91 South Connecticut"

This Driver Was Fortunate... To Be At Least A Quarter Mile In Back Of This Disaster When It Actually Happened
This Driver Was Stuck In This Traffic Jam.... For Hours And Hours
And What Did This Driver Do.... When He Finally Got Out Of This Fiasco?

He Turned His Truck Around
And Without Asking.... Or Calling The "Emergency Number To The "Higher Ups"
He Drove Himself And The Load ..(The 114 Miles)...................Back To The Yard

And While The Wind Was Blowing Like Hell
And The Snow Was Almost............... "White Out" Conditions
He Took Everything That He Had Brought With Him ...Which He Had Needed For The Trip
Loaded It All In His Explorer
And Got Himself Back Home

Some Times.......It Is Best..... To Think Things Out........... First!!
And ................"Just Say No!!!

(Which This Driver..... Failed Miserably........To Think Of.....Or To Do)
