The Associated Press: Police seek pickup driver in Dallas-area shootings

Kudos to the driver who was able to stop his truck. A true professional. Just goes to show that anything can happen out there. Stay safe.

Thats not the first time truck drivers have been targeted in the Dallas metro, seems Dallas like anywhere else breeds some real good people, and some real wierdos.

Yeah, I remember a nearly identical incident in Houston one time. Guy got in over to the shoulder and died.

Here is Ironic, when I was running I-69 through IN. to MI. a guy southbound on 69 had a heart attack, destroyed the scales after he crossed the median on the NB side, his wife survived the crash, I guess its a fitting end for an old trucker.

Sorry for the hijack.

CNN just aired the Dallas thing a few minutes ago. The United Van Lines guy had a nice 387 Pete. He was out of Lexington KY. Don't remember the agent.
