R&L | R&L Crashes GA Rest Area

[Kennesaw Kid]

This is the story on the R&L driver that hit the rest area north of Cordele, GA the other morning.

It was not "Shot To Hell" that we all know and talk to on the CB. This driver was taking his place while he is on vacation.........Watch Those Rest Areas!........

That is one lucky driver... Best wishes to him for a complete recovery.
Now ask yourself how safe is your truck? Do that pretrip/post-trip and be very very complete. Check them things out. Do not trust shop personnel to do it for you.

oops

Maybe he just couldn't wait to use the facilities and things didn't quite go the way he had planned.

How close are the rest areas to the place where you park in GA? In Missouri and surrounding states, they always put them so far away or up a hill from where you have to park that it's nearly impossible to crash into them.

Of course, this is a really bad deal if you've got a really classic case of the runs, and are having to hobble across a lawn or up a bunch of steps to keep from soiling yourself.
