It has been quite a day, that is for certain, I'm gonna step in the range and crank off a few rounds, great stress reliever.

[chad177]

prob a j-off driver thinkamp...not everyone is like that....prob has a bad temper, but still no reason to endanger you

[BergerKing]

There are the bad ones, for certain, and he mightve also been distracted and not paying attention. I have seen guys driving with their heads so far up their tailpipes that the need a plexiglas window in their gut to see. I assure you, I don't condone that kind of thing.

I ever tell you I lost a Miata one day?

I was in Alabama pulling a 75000 lb rock crusher, I saw her passing me on the right. I was in the center lane, so I checked my escape zones. I looked back to the right, she was gone. I hit a hill and reached for the stick just as she came shooting out from under my trailer on the left. Scared the **** outa me!

well i think when someone has 18 wheels on their vehicle they NEED to pay attention to everything else around them! i think this driver may have needed to smoke just a little more meth. and I know you aren't like the other drivers, but that 18 wheeler scared the ish out of me!!

[StrwBerryBlond]

Okay it didn't completely die, but it started blinking like it was going to. That's enough for me! Switch battery! I try to always keep one charged

Whatever any of ya'll do, please don't hang out close to trucks. It can be dangerous. Ever see a cap come off? 45lbs of rubber flying into your windshield at 65 MPH. It can be real bad.

Btw Jim how are you doing? How's your daughter doing?

yea people love to follow close to trucks, this lady was right on the back bumper of a firetruck i was driving ( and i was driving to a pretty bad call) she just wanted to make sure that no she knew was hurt, but she ended up getting a fine

[thinkamp]

I try to get the he11 away from them! They honestly scare me!!

Bk I couldnt imagine that, did that happen to you?! How long have you been driving trucks??

[Tripster]

Yep check over the contract carefully. That 1/3rd can grow rather quickly, if he has extra fees that can be tacked on. I've dealt with ambulance chasers on the other end, and I don't have a good opinion of them. The woman I hit, had over twice the bal in her, plus assorted narcotics, and I still got sued. I had no charges against me, but they badgered the insurance company till it was cheaper to pay than fight. Made me sick I didn't have enough to kick their in court. You, you deserve everything you get, but don't let a leech use you for only their own benefit.

I've had 7 drivers removed from the road for various drugs over the years. I hate 'em even worse than you do, Amber. One of them was training newbs and getting cranked up on meth so badly it was shocking. His trainee was a woman driver, and she was scared to death to tell anyone.

One of them almost killed me in Ohio. SOB passed me in a one lane construction zone, he drove through the work area, then ran me off into the grass. He got a healthy prison sentence in Ohio, then he has to serve one in Indiana.

17 years on Halloween. That was my first day on the road. I've seen some absolutely incredible stuff that would curl your hair in those years. I'm rapidly approaching the equivalent of 100 trips around the Earth.

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

We bury our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived
We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me.

We're not the same, dear,
And it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go
With nothing underneath.
And it saddens me to say
But we both know, well, it's true
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.
The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.

The Ice Was Getting Thinner, Death Cab for Cutie
