Two Trucks Collided!

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I arrived early in the morning to the factory to unload my only load of the day.  Just one load today so it should be a short one. Robert told me one tank was completely full when it wasn't, maybe he got a little confused.  Robert is the lead man. He's a middle-aged black man who spent ten years in the army.

We stood there talking, I asked him if anything interesting happened at the factory. He mentioned that two trucks collided at the corner of the building. I replied that that's a dangerous corner.

Robert said two trucks passing around that corner collided, and one of them tipped over. He said that security told him both trucks were speeding. Wow, an 18-wheeler was on the outside and the corner of the building, and a small bobtail truck was on the inside. One of them was passing the other one.

The small bobtail truck misjudged how the larger trucks trailer would track into him. The trailer hit the bobtail and knocked it on its side.  Robert said that security is thinking about putting road humps all along the outside of the building to slow traffic down.

The speed limit is 15 miles an hour and I usually do 10 myself.  15 mph is plenty fast enough. Everyday I have trucks passing me because they think I'm going too slow. Traffic humps would be a pain, but it will probably help the situation. It only takes one situation to cause years of annoyance for the rest of us.
