Good for buddy for trying to save peoples packages but if my truck catches fire, I'll be watching it burn from the other side of the street while I wait for the fire department.

I've known at least 2 employees who could have easily saved their vehicles let them burn to a cinder. Good for them. Both were full of packages.

My rig catches on fire, I'm going to save my lunch first and get upwind of the rig. We are always hauling declared haz and most likely undeclared haz.

That could not have been much of a fire if the police put it out....did he try to use his extinguisher?

That's what I was thinking as well. If the cops were able to put the fire out - and I doubt they were carrying much more of a heavy duty extinguisher than he had - makes ya sorta wonder if he wasn't dinkin around getting his trailer unhooked, all the while having a charged fire extinguisher still strapped to the floor beside his seat.....that would be fun to explan.

Crazy. I don't know a single ground driver who has had a fire. And you say we don't maintain our vehicles?

Agreed. I tell my drivers the fire extinguisher is for show or if you want to be a hero if you see a fire. Let the truck burn. WGAS about the packages or the truck. I'd rather my driver be able to work the next day than take time off due to smoke inhalation.
