Default Why Jason REALLY Gave Up Driving A Truck And Went To Flight School...

Can you believe this guy.. that he would even THINK of doing this!




The driver has only been in the U.S. a few months. He had missed his turn by Billings MT. And figured he could go over the hill and continue on the road. Apparently he didn't know there were rail tracks on top of the grade which doesn't matter, he'd be stuck anyhow.... The truck owner figures he had to hit the angle at over 55 miles an hour in order to make the top. If you look close at some of the pictures you will see that it is only when the large reefer trailer pinched the rear tires of the truck that the truck stopped......

I love the third picture that shows the tracks going through the field to get there. What a genius!!!

I hope he had his seatbelt on or he's probably got a headache from the impact with the ceiling
