Tractor trailer fire in Uxbridge, Massachusetts

shortly after 5:30pm on March 15, 2011 firefighters were called to route 146 s.b. just south of route 16 for a tractor trailer fire.

Heavy smoke from a distance was an indicator that firefighters would be going to work. They pulled up to the tractor fully involved.

The truck was on its way to make a delivery to the local BJ's Warehouse in Uxbridge.

@cripticgatekeep No big deal, Sir. I myself when I first saw a Sterling even thought it was a Ford. Then I noticed some Sterling's being produced that looked like Dodge Rams. So I did a bit of research and found out they are a part of Daimler, so they could get away with the the Dodge Ram body style.

@renegade3552 this is true I am sorry I put down that wrong info Sterling was originally built by White Motor Co. which later became White-Volvo before being spun off and finally acquired by Freightliner aka Daimler-Benz Trucks America.

@cripticgatekeep Sterling is Daimler, however they did use a Ford LNT 9000 body for the Actera which is what's burning.

Now why didnt they shut the road down till the fire was out? And its a Sterling truck aka a Ford = Found On Road Dead.

It's great that the trucker had the time and the presence of mind to drop the trailer and get some distance or it could have been much worse.
