Escort, Please
On the way home, I encountered a tractor trailer transporting a wide load. It was so wide; the tractor was driving in the middle of two lanes. Traffic had to dodge two lanes of traffic to get around the tractor.
Hmm, I thought to myself "Where the hell is the pilot or escort car?" The traffic can easily see the wide load, but the tractor needs an escort to keep things in check. Well, I looked around and could not find an escort car. Nice job.
I passed the tractor trailer and went about my business. As I was turning onto the North 5 on-ramp, I saw the escort truck hauling too. Hauling ass! It was so far ahead of the tractor that it was totally useless. I hope the tractor driver blew his hair back.
