This morning While comming up I-81 there was a Traffic back up for about 10 miles in TN on I-81 at about mile marker 22 is where a Big Truck and its Trailer were burt completely to the Ground the only thing left of he tractor was the frame and engine the only thing left of the trailer was the frame and rear door suppots all the sides skins of the trailer was completey gone. Looked to be a complete loss. THe TN fire department had its Foam truck and a Pumper there. The truck was not overturned and was on a flat plane on the right hand side of the road. But Both Tractor and Trailer were in a melted mess. Like I said no Evidence of a Cab for the tractor and the Trailer side walls were completely gone.

Last month in Houston I was getting a pm and a beautiful Pete pulled into bay next to me and when he shut engine off smoke started rolling out from under the hood. well they put out fire fast and it turned out his cb was wired to something in the firewall and thats where the fire started and all the idiot was worried about was his freaking cb radio . HELLO DRIVER how about your life and others lifes moron !!!

We had a driver fall asleep and put a 1971 Frtlnr COE down an embankment. He walked away. Was sitting on a guardrail waitng for wrecker when he said he smelled smoke and about ten minutes later that aluminum cab was but a faint memory. The truck was only two years old.

THis happen a about 2 years ago bobtail Frieghtliner pulls up and parks outside of a repair shop in Cullman AL. The driver jumps in car with wife and goes off to Walmart a short time later smoke is seen coming from the truck. Some one calls the fire dept I am down the street at the truck stop can see thick black smoke rising so I walk over to see the truck by now fully engulfed in flames and tires exploding from the heat as the fire dept finally arrives on scene
