What I Learned After a Teen Driver Hit My Truck

Last week, while making a routine delivery to a gas station, I was sideswiped by a car. The driver turned out to be a 17-year-old without a license, claiming he was only going 35. The shock hit me hard—not just physically, but emotionally too. It made me realize how important it is to always stay alert, even in familiar places. My advice: always double-check your surroundings and never assume other drivers are following the rules. Stay safe out there, and let’s look out for each other.
