Back in the early 80s I drove for Tri State Motor Transit out of Joplin, MO. At the time they were the largest hauler of explosives in the US. So during the Falklands War between the Brits and Argentina the US was resupplying the Brits. I hauled several loads of bombs to a port facility I think it was in Little Creek VA. Two of us driving team in the truck. So I was going through West VA with a full load of bombs on a flad bed when the Detroit engine puked on me. Team mate was sleeping.

Then he says OK I'll be behind you with my lights on giving oncoming traffic a warning. So he backs his squad about 3/8 mile behind us and sat there. I guess he didn't want to get too close. LOL This was in White Sulpher Springs W VA if I remember right. True story
