A girl swerved to miss a deer going South, I was going North. She lost it, came across the median and I T-Boned here. This was not a roll-over, but I doubt anyone would wanna drive this after it was "repaired".

 

Was it ruled your fault..or did they cut ya some slack?

Have a friend who had an axle punched out just like that..the kid that hit him was doing the suicide deal....it worked.

 

It happened in between Bloomington and Peru Il. They didn't have to cut me any slack because it wasn't my fault. The girl survived with a broken back and a few ribs. I thought for sure she was dead, I refused to get out of my truck because I didn't want to have to deal with it. Finally the Illinios trooper gave me his word that she was awake and just beaten up a bit. He then took me down to Bloomington and paid for my hotel room for the night.

 

I'm curious... what did Werner have to say about it?

 

By the way, rigidsporty, you may check with Chattanooga Wholesale Trucks. Sometimes you can find a good buy with them. I have seen some junk with them, but also some good buys. Since you don't live that far away, you may want to check with them. The owner's name is Otis. I bought a truck from him when he worked for another dealer and he was fair with me. Some of their trucks are listed on their website.

 

They just asked if I was okay and if they could do anything for me. They are a very good company, no matter what you may hear. Most of the time it's from people who never stepped a foot in one of their trucks. If they had anything other than 48 state OTR, I'd lease on with them.

 

Thanks GMAN I'll look.

I haven't heard much good about them, but... like you said... none of them ever drove for them. I am pretty sure I wouldnt like the paperless logs, we had something like that at the food service place I used to drive for. Personally I think most of the big companies are pretty much the same. There are unhappy drivers at every company.

Found another one! :lol:

He sent me a pic of it (actually a picture video slide) and it looks like its in great shape. You can tell its been well taken care of. The only bad thing is fuel mileage with it. Its a flat-top sleeper too. This is the only pic I was able to capture...

 

;;; Like new tires,less than 400,000

Ya, except the guy needs to work on his sentence structure a little so one thing doesn't give you the wrong impression. lol

 

Leave the guy alone... he's proud of his Peterbuilt! :lol:

 

At least he isn't far from you.
