I81 in Montgomery County, Va.

According to last news story they did not know what caused the fire or if anyone was injured.

They posted an update...

Virginia State Police tell WDBJ7 that the driver of the truck smelled something in the cab around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The driver pulled off the road and discovered that there was a fire under the sleeper section of the cab.
The driver was not hurt, but the cab is a complete loss.



Good to hear he was okay.

Burritos for lunch?

Does it concern anyone that the popup ad over these images is for AutoTrader... want to buy a truck?

Popups? Ads? What are those? I never see them.

Absolute worst tire in snow ever.

An inch of snow (or less) and I can't drive the truck. Slides all over the place unless I have near 800lbs of sand in the back.

If I had more cash, I'd get a new set of something... anything else.

Kind of hard to expect 4wd results from a tire on a 2wd truck.
