Truck spills

[Angie]

Really? A website all about truck spills.
From the site.
Every day trucks pass us on the highway and we are completely unaware of what they may be carrying. But when one overturns, we get a peek into what is being carted around right under our noses. Sometimes, it's just a common item that we're not accustomed to seeing spilled on the road. Sometimes, it's a truck full of things we never thought about being hauled around by the truckfull.

If it has a square on it with numbers and it wrecks, it is a good idea not to go near it as the truck is haul hazzardous materials. Read the one about the explosives, those little signs can help save you.

You bought it a truucker brought it

Theres some strange loads out there. I have had some strange loads but we dont even do alot of the things TL companies do. Cadavers go on a reefer, bees go on flatbeds and you have to wear a bee suit, chlorine and you have to wear a gas mask and everything.

A good chunk of people do not realize what is trans-shipped by either truck or train.

I the aftermath of what happens when rolled steel gets loose on a flat bed, in Chicago no less, what a mess.

Stuff in trucks

Most people would be surprised at how much of what we used to call "methyl-ethyl-death" goes through or around Indy by truck and/or train every day. Remember this if an unknown substance gets spilled near you. Upwind. Uphill. Upstream.

I've seen some wicked loads before. Got a hold of a hazardous material handbook that truckers use and started looking up the numbers when I seen them. I came across a nuclear waste truck once in IL. What's worse is that the driver couldn't keep the truck straight for a couple miles (bad winds up by Decatur) and we took off around him!

Theres a place on the far eastside of Indy I pickup at all the time. I probably shouldnt name it, but they ship some pretty wicked stuff. Today I hauled about 7,000 lbs of it.

for many years i had cops as niegbors(selling the house to each other as a starter house) one guy was a state and he said he was escorting a U.S.A. truck across the toll road up north and the truck rolled. it's cargo was loaded missiles. the said the havent been armed yet and the truck it self could have rolled down the enbankment and blew up but the missle wouldnt have. but the were scrambling to cover them up be for ppl saw what the were.

Bus/auto collisions are the norn, not the other way around.

the few years i have been there its all been bus/car hits... nothing bigger then a work van (that i know of) the smallest thing was a bicycle....

i guess it just frustrates the heck out of me when people cut a bus or a truck off for that matter thinking that the 35,000 + pounds of bus i have let alone a truck more then twice that can stop as good as a car...
