avoid hitting a car with a 4 year old sitting in the passenger seat that slide through a stop sign. Tank didn't exploded but he did lay it on it side, mother and child were fine.

Until the day he passed, a couple decades later...that still haunted him and he never hauled heavy freight after.

I was all of 4 years old when mom and me went to pick him up and give him a ride home as he couldn't even drive his car back to the house as he was so upset.

Bless his soul...good trucker.

or on its side all by itself, it is a good bet that the driver put it there saving someones life.


I'm approaching 1.9 million miles behind the wheel of heavy trucks in this country and I can assure you, this is the case far more than is reported.

You will never see a headline that reads 'Trucker nearly kills himself while saving the life of an inattentive motorist."

I really do appreciate the sentiment.

Drive safe. Always.

He's had a few run-ins with cars that scared him to death. He ran himself off the road without toppling the truck to avoid hitting a little old lady who cut him off. He did take off her side-view mirror in the process but she went on her merry way after the state police determined all was well. The trooper commended him for his driving skills and gave him a high-five.

I know what you do in your line of work and it's a hard job. My hat is off to you and the countless others who spend their lives holding a steering wheel. Stay safe!

been a trucker still

Different circumstances, but a tearjerker about truckers.

A 23 month old toddler! A baby really.

I hope the man rots in hell. The mother too. You don't do this to a child. Not ever!

There are good doctors and good science to help Mason. Hearts to Mason and the wonderful caring truckers.

Thanks for posting,TSS.

And that gives me a big heart for Truckers!
