Thanks UTurn. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to see your son the day he was born.
That reminds me when my youngest daughter was born. He was a bus driver back then. He had the opportunity to go with a group to pick up some greyhound busses from another state. The nurse warned him, and I warned him that I might deliver that weekend. He decided to go.
When he called, my mom told him that I did deliver. I guess he was heart broken, because he wasen't here to be with me. Then he tried his best to get home that day, but the bus he was driving broke down. Something dealing with the radiator. It ended up that one of the other drivers switched busses with him, and he got home the next day. He was happy when he got to see his new daughter though.
I did hear back from him. It sounds like the tractor will get towed in the morning, and that he will leave the trailer at the truck stop. He said it sounded like they might give him another truck. The only one they have available is an older one than he already has. :roll: I know they don't build trucks and cars like they use to. If they do decide to go that route, I do hope it is in better condition than the one he has, well before it got hit.
I just have to break the news gently tomorrow to the girls, and I'll have to wait until he tells me what is going on. I do hope he is able to get home soon also though.
PS. My husband did think that if he didn't pop his head out the door when he did, that the other driver would have tried to run. There wasen't any damage to his trailer. He got the information he needed, the pictures he needs, tried calling the cops, but got the security gaurd instead. The company told him to try to call the police to cover the company's but. He said the other driver told him that he's driven for ten years, and never hit a truck before.
