As if having to drive all day in the snow, my truck started on fire.  I am ok truck is ok.  I ended up closing down highway 17 in Sugar Camp for about 30 this afternoon.  I did make channel 12 news.  What is funny is the owners wife called my dispatcher and asked him why I was on the news.

That was you? I drive 17 a couple times per week, I went through there tuesday & wednesday, but yesterday I declared it a snow-day and stayed home. I work out of Eagle River and have a bunch of customers in Rhinelander, so I've done my best to wear out that pavement over the last 20 yrs.  

My wife and I saw you on the news last night, and I made the comment "That guy's got his shit together.... he did everything right and saved the truck".  Now I know why. Good work.

You're okay.

No one is hurt.

Trucks can be fixed.

Thanks for all the comments.  Boy did I get the jokes this morning at work.  My dispatcher answered the phone by calling me flame.  We had a good laugh and my boss complimented me on how I handled it.
