That gets close to home. He recalls an accident near South 14th and Treadaway in which a vehicle evading police wedged under a tanker truck transporting a hazardous liquid. Durant was about to pull the crumpled vehicle free when they discovered the driver still was alive. Durant employs a policy of politeness but has learned that asking folks stranded on the road if all's well sometimes aggravates the situation. That pause really helps.
Some customers are surprised to see such a big truck arrive.
