WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? Part 7
On the ride home this evening we, co-worker and I, were traveling along one of the, many, back roads in eastern NC when we came upon a
RED Freightliner Columbia blocking the road.
It would seem the driver "backed" out of his driveway and into the ditch on the opposite side. What a comedy scene that followed, the local LEO who, was in front of us, was explaining to the driver that he will call a wrecker if the vehicle could not crawl out on its own.
First; this was the first time I've seen an US Express truck up close and was surprised to find with the Auto drive there wasn't a differential lock on this 'Liner. As can be imagined, the driver frustration level was at a fever pitch as was the LEO's.
Finally, after about 20 minutes of getting no where I told the driver to slide over and let me have a whack at the Auto drive. What an interesting set up US Exp has. Anyway, I lowered the air suspension put the transmission in low and walked the Columbia out and back in to the dudes driveway.
As we departed, the LEO told the driver to try backing into his drive the next time. I asked the LEO if that would be such a wise move since the driver managed to fall into one ditch!!!
Never a dull moment.....
