My first LONG HAUL trip alone in a big rig...the first two days was from NORTHERN MAINE ...threw parts of NEW BRUNSWICK, QUEBEC & ONTARIO, Canada to Detroit MICH....by the time I got to the AMERICAN border I was STRESSED completely...However I was in America and figured it would be a little easier now. Threw out the trip across Canada I found myself cursing at the beginning &
sincerely thanking God at the end of each obstetrical ...(HEAVY TRAFFIC....road construction & etc) so I get my directions from my little money bag....one mile after I get on the road to my destination the orange cones started appearing...then the road got real narrow and blockades with a sign "ROAD CLOSED do not ENTER"....With no where to turn I had to squeeze by and keep going around the signs.....even getting out to move the last barricade...each time cursing myself and GOD for me being there then asking him to get me threw...then forgetting that he was with me threw all this...With god's HELP I MADE MY FIRST DROP.....unloading and getting directions for my next pick-up......on a road with "NO TRAFFIC"....I SAILED RIGHT BY MY TURN OFF....but there was plenty of real estate to land a 747 and no traffic.....as soon as I started backing up the road immediately filled with traffic going both ways,,,,,as a result I backed the trailer off the side of the road and the embankment was steeper than i envisioned....and the trailer tipped up on one leg of the landing gear also picking my drive wheels off the ground....I cursed a while & prayed awhile with traffic backed up as far as you could see in all four intersections.....theirs no way out of this GOD..why did you let this happen? I could use a little help here "GOD"!!...I guess you would have to understand the magnitude of a big truck in that position and being totally responsible for getting out of it....I was totally helpless....and where is GOD NOW??? I turned and here comes a big old wrecker working his way toward me.....finely he got there and I took my first breath in over an hour.....as he was working his way to me i could see a sign over the cab that said "IN GOD WE TRUST...do you? and as he passed me in big bold letters on the side of the wrecker that said "SAMSON"....in 30 minutes all 18 wheels were on black top.....and i'll leave you with this...I been in a lot of scrapes in my life .....but that was the first time "GOD" ever had to send SAMSON to rescue me......
