    That looks like a twin screw Volvo sleeper. If it is and he was pulling three he was over length. Glad he's OK!!!!! but probable out of a job now.

    Wow! Glad he is OK. Does anyone know how many states allow triples? I know Kansas does on the Turnpike, but I've never seen them. Only double 48's.

    Seen trips running through middle of Portland, too. MT's and cross winds don't mix. Shouldn't lose his job, but that doesn't mean he won't.
