2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Man, I feel bad for that guy, looks like it really screwed the front of his truck up.  Could just be the vid quality, but to me it looks smashed pretty bad, and as a truck lover I can tell you, it's watching a truck crumble is heartbreaking.

Entertaining video though  :o  Is that a cop that pulls up next to him then just drives off?   >:(
