Left Mocksville, NC at sun up this morning.  Another nice day on the road.  On I-24 in Kentucky almost to Illinois saw an almost crash.  Have it on video (below). In the video it is extremely difficult to see what is happening out in front of me because it is so far away.  Way out in front is a white Chevy Suburban pulling a long yellow box type trailer.  For some unknown reason it starts to fish tail.  It gets much worse and violently swings back and forth across the road.  It is absolutely amazing that the thing didn't flip over.  Somehow the driver gets control and pulls to the right side of the road and stops, probably to pry the seat from his or her butt!!  As I change lanes to go around you can see the black skid marks left on the road from the trailer swinging back and forth.  You will definitely have to expand the video to full screen to see anything, even at that it will be difficult to see.  Might have to view it a few times to see it.


Aside from that, nothing else exciting today.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
