Most memorable thing you've seen while driving?
 

What is the most memorable thing you've seen while driving? :shock: Something going on in another car, accident, or whatever. High speed chase would be mine. Don't think the cops were going to catch the motorcycle. He was way too fast.

Man, there are so many. I remember the first time, I drove in northern Arizona. It rained early that morning. I just pulled out of the Flying J, outside of Flagtown. I remember seeing the very first elk crossing sign, with the picture of the elk. At first, I just barely got a glance at it. I thought, "what was that? :| " The second one I saw, a few miles later, I got a good look at it. I had an idea, but still quite didnt know. I finally asked one of the guys what they were. After I was told that what they were, I had an eye out for any elk crossing. :lol:

Funny that you mentioned about a motorcycle in the high speed chase. I never saw it, but on HWY 82, about 60 miles east of Lubbock, a guy on a motorcycle hit a pig. The fire, and rescue, etc were there by the time, I came through, but we were able to talk to a couple of guys on the radio, and they told us about it. I couldnt imagine hitting a pig on a motorcycle. :shock:

I love bacon :D

Pig/Motocycle
 

"hitting a pig on a motorcycle" Was there bar-b-que involved? BOL

I dont think there was enough left. :P

Driving west through North Dakota theres a rest area and view point. It's of the Theodore Rosevelt national park. If you don't stop, you would never know that this is on the other side of the road... It's was breath taking. Oh, and there were Bison too!

Mine would have been the time I stopped at the old Tiger truck stop. My beagle had to go potty and I was walking her she went and I deceded to take her up by the tiger cages to see her reaction. Needless to say she did not hit the ground on as she ran back to the truck once that little bitty kitty growled at her.

Eventually you will see pretty much everything. Cars hanging in trees, oversize loads destroying bridges, car chases, sex in every imaginable position while moving, mangled bodies in the road, hookers female and male. You can probably write a book after a while.

So far mine is a head on collision with a walmart truck and a car on snowy roads. The 4 wheeler came across and hit walmart head on.

tootie

Being local, I don't see too much but I have seen 1 car chase and a number of wrecks, 1 serious. 1 truck driver attempting to attack another on the road with a meat hook before the one raced off and the other followed in hot pursuit. A Heartland truck who used his Jake a little touch much on a really hot summer day, the cab was nice and oily black.

Kona, that's a pile of crap!! :lol:

A few tings are memorable to me that I wont soon forget, here are some:

A 4000lb prairie dog on the I 70 + a six legged cow.
A beautiful sunrise and sunset on a Florida coast beach, got to pet some manatee 10 feet away from my bobtails parking space..also seen a bull shark.
A tornado in southern Missourie.
My girlfriends beautiful face every time I leave is the most prominant.

And yesterday and the day before, two fatalities, one in Dayton, and the other on the 294, both bodies uncovered...not a good sight at all...All because of ..I have to be first.


Dayton involved two big trucks and one car...Im not naming companies.

TKR

I have seen some really strange things over the years. One thing that comes to mind was actually in a 4 wheeler at home. I was traveling southbound on hwy 153, which is like an interstate, when I heard a swishing sound. I looked in my rear view mirror just in time to see a car hit a truck head on. The car crossed the median barely missing me and hit the truck just behind me. The woman who was driving was killed instantly. They have never found out what caused the wreck. The odd thing is that she must have just missed me, for me to have heard the noise so loudly. The odd thing is that I never saw her cross the median. I only heard that swishing noise and saw her for the first time when I looked in my rear view mirror just prior to her hitting the truck. It was almost surreal. There wasn't much left of the car. I am very grateful that she missed me.

Car wrecks are the worst, I have came upon 2 wrecks before any emergency vehicles but never witnessed any happen in front of me.

Some years ago, I was traveling East on old hwy. 64 near Selmer, TN. Selmer is in West Tennessee and is the home of Buford Pusser of the film Walking Tall fame. I started up this hill and looked to my right and saw a horse with his chin propped in the 'Y" of a tree and his feet crossed, asleep. I wish that I had a camera that day. I now keep a camera with me. I can get a chuckle, even thinking about it. :lol:

getting flashed in St.Paul Mn.

I don't know that it's the most memorable, and I'm just a trucker wannabe, but I was just entering Gresham,Or on 26 and I was behind a semi in the left lane. I see a girl walking and she flashed her boobs to the trucker. I don't know what he did to cause that, but I thought it was cool. I'm a perv by natiure.

While driving for Chippewa near Morris, IL, I noticed a rig stopping on the shoulder before every underpass. It was an open-top van apparently hauling a giraffe. I could not see the handler in the trailer, but he was pulling the giraffe's head down for the underpass.

While driving on a two-lane highway out west for Tri-State Motor Transit, my lead driver stopped for sheep being herded down the road by an indian on horseback, and his dog. I got out of the bunk and took photos. The indian motioned us forward and the sheep parted as we drove slowly through the flock.

i never see anything cool and have been doing this for 6 years, you guys are lucky..............well i see tires getting blown out

state rt.99 in oklahoma there was a pickup with a tool box in the bed and a dog standing on the tool box,they pulled over to the shoulder to let me by, problem was I was on my CDL drive test :shock:

Maybe she saw a WOW sticker on the truck?

The first time I was flashed was just west of Green Bay, WI heading to Menomonie,WI... Some old couple, probably late 50's or so flashed me... I was scarred for awhile until I was headed south on 5 and glanced down to see a hottie reading a magazine with no top on... hahahah the memories!

50's is old? :shock: Well, at least I'm still in my early 50's! 8)

50's is old? :shock: Well, at least I'm still in my early 50's!

keep your shirt on,only time i got flashed she was way too big.

i remember canada rockies most. especially in august its like xmas,what am i gonna see next. mostly highway 1 but went up thompson river once. at jasper every time you see cars on the shoulder they are taking up close photographs of large animals

Saw a car hauler burn with a load of luxury cars just west of Odessa, Texas on I-20...shame.

Summer of 1986 in my pickup on I 40 In New Mexico. The sky had turned black and it started to pour, I pulled to the shoulder to wait it out. Now I love a good thunderstorm myself, however, It was at this point in my life that I learned if your are close enough to a lightning strike, You will actually hear the clap of the thunder a fraction of a second before the light. After a couple more very close strikes I drove off humbled a bit , ears ringing, seeing spots. and in need of a rest stop to change my shorts. :oops:

Memorable
 

Getting "boobed" SB I-90/94 in Wisconsin a couple days before Thanksgiving. She coulda' cut diamonds with her nips. BOL

To add a few things of interest:

I had a friend back in high school...his dad hit a pig with his motorcycle just south of town. Cut the pig in half and threw him over bridge. He landed half in and half of of the water...saved his life. The second people that stopped, helped him out. They know it was the second car, because the first people that stopped apparently took the pig.

I've been in a pickup that was struck by lightning. Hit the roof of the pickup and left a black line across the interior ceiling of the pickup. Blinded us for a good few minutes. Luckily, we were going slow and had just turned a corner, so we stopped immediately right there in the middle of the road and just waited for our vision to clear up.

Had a JB Hunt truck blow a trailer tire as I was coming up on him. The Alligator went right over the top of my car and left tread marks on my roof.

Came upon an accident in I-80 last here where a car went off the road and hit the leading edge of a guardrail...one that wasn't tapered off into the ground. Speared the car up through the engine and through the windshield. No chance the driver could have survived.

most merbly event
 

im from the norht shore of lake superior and a few years before i started driving truck i saw a wreck in the next town down the road, where a guy took a 90 degree corner at a esstimated 120mph. he hit a truck head on,

the memorial part of it was, he managed to fit 90% of the car under the bumper of the pete... the front axles of the pete were only maybe 5 inches off the ground... unforunate part is, his body managed to fit into a doggy bag

Had A cyotte run across I-40 non stop and didn't get a scratch. us 395 from nv/ca border till it reaches the desert, a cupple of missed turns that brought me on tome twisty windy roads. Very beautiful but would never take a truck on them again, lol

Yeah, I never see anything either, although it hasn't nearly been 6 years for me yet. I saw a submarine steaming up the river to the base in Groton, CT today. That was pretty cool.

We all see strange stuff out here, I seen it all from car wrecks to truck wrecks, to car catching fire and truck tire starts on fire then truck is on fire. Seen alot of boob in the cars driving by and one girl masturbating while driving and another car people were having sex in the back seat , all along this car stuff, seen one kid taking bong hits at a stoplight. Seen a horse dead in road, lots of twisted deer everywere, and chased one deer up a snowy mountian grade at 15 mph.. but the most memorable must be when I was driving down a 2 lane highway and saw something large blocking both lanes, i got closer and seen it was a hurd of buffalo walking down the highway.. I stopped and got out and stood 15 feet from a wild animal until a forset service ranger said 'get in your truck, those are wild animals' hehehe I still stood there looking into the face of a buffalo, that I will never forget...

I was running the east part of the overnight schedule from Vancouver to Cranbrook and I had to go over the Kootenay pass. It is about 6,000 ft and as black as the inside of a cow at night.

I stopped up there very early in the morning. It was in the middle of the winter. I shut the truck down and went for a short walk to wake up and when I got my night vision I looked up.

The northern lights where absolutely brilliant. What they where doing was rolling from North to South, wave after wave and almost every color you could think of. And they where so bright they blocked out almost every star.

I was struck by its pure beauty and it was as if I could reach out and touch them. It was almost as if I could reach out and touch the face of God.

It kinda sick but i saw lot girl washing herself in mud puddle between trucks in ok city after one of her gigs. :twisted: :shock:

I had a bare naked lady put on fantastic solo show while laying down in the front seat of a dually pickup.

Her old man was driving her across the panhandle of Texas late one night letting her get her kicks by putting on "shows". We drove side by side for about 15 minutes. She had the overhead spot lights turned onto herself for good visibility.

She also had a CB and talked dirty to me while doing her thing.

Very good looking woman I might add.

Car load of college chicks passed me, then slowed back down and they were all naked. This was in Columbia, Missouri. They were hot!!!! :o

Two hot girls in Kansas with flash cards. The cards weren't family friendly.......

that town rockymtnprodriver is from is sweet.used to stop at the restaurant at cranbrook.
i notice in montana those deer look like they have exploded on the road. must be some kind of canuck trucks with big cowcatchers on the front.

The worst thing ! Just north of santa nella ca i had guy pull up next to me yanking his chain :evil: :shock: I wanted to run him off the road !

I saw a driver get run over by a truck at the Road King ?? Truckstop in mattoon IL off of I57. Luckily, it was only his foot/ankle, but it was flattened likea pancake :shock:

Last sumer I sawa flatbedder FLYING up Mont Eagle with a cop chasing him. For all I know, it could have been an escort with a government load, but either was it was strange 8)

around 1980 or so, coming down monteagle mountain, motor home was parked in the runaway truck ramp just off the road,. had the awning out and the table set up and they were having lunch.
