Monster Truck on I95 in Delaware

Yesterday we were driving back home from Norristown down I476 to I95 when we spotted a unusually tall pickup truck in front of us.


It was a monster truck driving with us on the road.





It was driving next to us on I95 from Norristown to at least the Marsh road exit just south of the Delaware state line where we got off. This vehicle was just a little pickup truck on huge tires and a suspension to go with them. The tires and modifications made the vehicle literally twice as tall as our Prius.




We got a closeup of one of the tires.

Besides the silliness of seeing a monster truck on the road was the advertising on the side for Estep Electrical Services. You know the "owner" of the truck "uses" it for work and the expense of those crazy modifications were written off of their taxes.

Avoid being the truck in the ditch

This truck being pulled from a ditch slowed my travels up Interstate 95 today. One of my goals in driving is to avoid being the truck in the ditch. I don't drive a truck so I have it half covered. I also try to keep my vehicle on the road.

It appears that this truck went in before the guard rail began rather than over it, but for some reason they were pulling it out this way. It is sometimes hard to figure out what happened in an accident when you only get to see the aftermath.
