Second time got hit had the cab fly off thrown across the cab over the doghouse the engine cover is the doghouse for you non truck drivers and then had the cab spin 180 to face the radiator. [angel][angel] my gaurdian angel never failed me then. Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.
