So I stayed at work till after 5 and took a even more backroad home. Highway was closed till past 4:30 and the backlog of traffic litrely parked was miles and miles long. On the radio they interviewed the fire chief who attended..."In 28 years I have never come accross accident where a septic truck split open and I hope I never will again" I know where the truck crashed, it's 3 lanes wide and if the driver of this sh** rig was attempting to pass in the far left lane.....he's a idiout! http://www.goldstreamgazette.com/news/149897935.html Oddly enouph this same company rolled a 18 wheeler full of sh** just a few mile further up the highway on a exit ramp about a year ago, but that one did'nt split open.
Well the conversation turned to sh** at work after we heard about this. Our island, a small place was even smaller back when... A few of us started talking about our younger days on construction sites and how it was one truck with just one guy who would pump out and clean the port o potys. He would have been in his later 40's at the time and would make stomacs turn on the most hard core guy around. Never any gloves etc, get in there, pump it out, get the bucket of how many times have you used this soap and scrub them out...... and then grab a sandwitch without washing or anything and eat.. He honestly looked like what he did, cloths and all but what blew your mind was myself and another guy back in the day saw him away from his work with his wife. he still looked like sh** but his wife was........go figure?!?
If they'd of got off the pot that could have been wiped up a lot sooner. I wonder how much Charmin it will take to wipe this up? Didn't they used to refer to these trucks as Honey Wagons?
Well some of you are full of it... course the trucks not anymore... Do they call in hazordous waste for this kind of spill?
As I understand it, with a sh!tty situation such as this the normal is to call in the hazmat. The head guy, Scott, is a little rough, but always gets to the bottom of it. Before the hazmat can enamate to the busted bowel truck, they have to constipate the flow of traffic. Since the pinched off traffic cant go, the whole thing always has some grumbling. Luckily, in the end, the flies zip up and away and the sh!t clears up and its business as usual...
Both times they wrecked, sounds like they were hauling a$$ while they were hauling a$$. At the campground we go to, they're smaller but they call them honey wagons. Looks pretty green already, but wonder if this spot will grow extra lush and green from the fertilizer? Sounds like this company has intentions of fertilizing this stretch of road. There was this clover patch behind my dad's shed where we both used to take a leak for years when I was a kid. After awhile I was finding 4, 5, 6, and even 7 leaf clovers. Wonder what's worse, wrecking the truck, or being pinned half upside down surrounded by a lake of $hit?
Wow I hope the driver was ok, Did someone a least call an ambulance? Or was it too late and called a Turd Hearse?
driver of the truck walked away unscathed I don't see any way the driver wasn't scathed ! If I were driving there would have been 810 gallons of doo-doo on the highway instead of 800 gallons~! Anyone driving a tanker knows you do not change lanes too fast with a partial tank full of liquid. I believe this company needs to get their sh*t together !
