The Black Dog in Trucking: What It Means and Why Drivers Should Never Ignore It

[Mike]

Truck drivers have a job like no other. They brave the open road for hours on end, often at night, with nothing but the hum of the engine and the endless stretch of asphalt ahead. It’s a lonely life, filled with quiet moments and long periods of isolation. But in the darkest hours, when fatigue ... Read more

I have never seen the back dog but, back when we were pushing 16-18 and my highest score of 24 hours a day, day after day, I did see someone sitting in my passenger seat out of the corner of my eye while waiting for a light to change. I jumped; it scared me.
I looked again and there was no one there.
I was not on any kind of drugs, just over tired.

One time when I was driving @Blood's green freightliner, I was on Rt 30 in Chicago Heights, a ghetto area, on the way to the Ford plant.

In near total darkness because the local gangs shoot out the street lights, I saw a person dressed like the Grim Reaper standing right in the middle of the street,on the solid double yellow.

It was like he was crossing the street and stopped halfway to wait for me to pass. But he stayed put after I passed. I could see him in the mirror. No other vehicles were behind me.

It was really creepy and bizarre. But I'm 99.9% sure it was not anything paranormal, due to the location. Just a weird crackhead or something.

Mikey just dyed his Malinois and put him out in the street.

We used to have a tale about the lady in the white flowing gown that would stand out in the middle of the road in South Florida known as Alligator Alley. It's now known as I-75. But the apparition had many a truck take a turn into the swamp and when asked what happened, they all told the same story about the lady in the white gown.

That road was a 2 lane across the Everglades and there were numerous head on collisions over the years with people trying to pass another. Lots of people died on that road. It was basically the only east-west road across the swamp from Ft. Lauderdale to Naples. It took them years to de-muck the ground and build the Interstate with a lot of small bridges for the animals to pass under.

@389 Hood Is route 41 the old Alligator Alley?

No, US 41 is the Tamiami Trail. It goes from Downtown Miami, across the state and up the west coast and up into the states of GA and TN. I lost it in Murfreesboro, TN. I didn't know it, but it parallels I-24 up over The Rock.

Alligator Alley is SR 84 which is now I-75. It runs from Miami all the way to MI.

US41 runs all the way into the UP north of Green Bay. It's a major N/S route north from Evansville into NW IN, and again from the north side of Chicago to Green Bay via Oshkosh. The Milwaukee to Oshkosh stretch is now I-41.

There's an airport in the middle of the swamp, far away from anything else, and there's a 747 sitting on the pad.

Weird.
