One man's crap is another man's caviar. Mission accomplished, Layoutshooter. The frozen biscuits we rescued off your truck was delivered safely in Minneapolis this morning.

We are sorry your truck got hail and wind damaged as it did but are also thankful that the remainder of your run got us home under load just as the long weekend is about to begin. We have not been home since Christmas. It's nice to be back.

Glad I could help. Nice seeing you two again. The estimate was right at 10 grand. Temp repairs are done. Windshield replaced. The real repairs are going to be in the last week in June.

That blows. My Sirius antenna crapped out in Erie during a hailstorm the other night. Other than that, nothing.

I just pulled into the Pilot on I90 to fuel up and it got real dark real fast. Hailed for probably 10 minutes in 3 waves. This was late Thurs afternoon.

Erie PA then. That is where we picked up the load we were on when this happened. I didn't know if you meant Erie PA or Erie, MI. That is why I asked.

No need to be sorry, I was just wondering if there had been hail around here. I had not seen any. Just heavy rain and wind. Erie MI is only a couple of miles from my house.

I heard about your circumstances while I was on a load from Chicago to Laurel, MD. The gps had me going across 80, but I took 65 down to 70. It added around 60 miles to the run, but after hearing what happened to your truck, I'm glad I rerouted.

BTW... I almost got flooded out from my pu in Chicago. As bad as it was, that got me thinking to take the southern route. That and all those tolls.

Sorry to hear about the damage Joe...I haven't stopped to look and the windshield is ok...I was on I-40 in AR at the 214 mm when all h8ll broke loose...while the hail that fell for the next 7 mile wasn't as big as what you encountered, it was dime to quarter size...Ill be stopping for gas in a bit so i'll be dng a walk around to look for damage....


Hope the damage to your box is strictly cosmetic and does not prove to be anything that will require big repair bills and time down....
