I got into work this morning and found out one of our drivers rolled his truck and died.
If you guys are the praying type, can you keep his family in your prayers?
Thankfully, the truck didn't blow (I work in oil and gas, so it was a tanker truck) and injure anyone else. Also, we had another driver behind him, so he was the first on the scene before the cops showed.
Guys, I'm just so sad. We're a pretty small group on our side of the company. Fuck, dude.
Prayers sent! My H drives a diesel tanker, so news like this makes us worry a bit.
You are a saint- truck driving can be a hard life. Our drivers are great guys and I don't think we've ever had a fatality before.
He was OTR when we met and got this job just before we were married. He's home every night, it's so much better than the other job. It's not easy, especially when there's a wreck and I can't get him on the phone. His company is a pretty large one, so they've had fatalities but the ones in our area have been drivers for other companies.

My heart sinks every time I come up on a truck on the road and pray that everyone is ok.
