you tell it like it is Twilight Flyer BRAVO

 

Actually, it's Twilight Flyer, but who's counting.

And after reading through this thread again, I did come across a bit strong in my reply, but with good reason. I'm on the inside...I see what truckers have to deal with every single day. I talk to drivers every day and I count several drivers as really good friends of mine. Because I work in a trucking company, I am much more aware of what happens on the road than your average office-bound 4-wheeler. And I get pretty irate when I have to listen to someone lump the entire driving force into a category that holds a very small amount of bad eggs.

No one is perfect and even the best drivers have bad days. But the sooner that todays rat-race-driven workforce figures out that without those truck on the road, they'd be naked and wandering around, the better off the whole country would be.

Ain't gonna hold my breath, though. :?

 

Yeah...Midnight Flyer is the one with all the Babes. :P :lol:
Super Hero's can't afford to risk it. :cry:

 

sorry...wasn't paying attention to detail there.......sh*t happens...(usually to ME! :cry: )

 

Basically it comes down to this. If you can not see the driver in his mirrors (if you are behind or next to the truck) or in your mirror (if you are in front) then the driver of the truck can not see you.

 

This comment is very hypocritical. Most responding to this topic are correct that it is wrong that Jaseun generalize all truck drivers into a category. However, with what you said, you are allowing him/her to do it.

Claiming that it is “rightly so” to hold “some contempt for 4-wheelers” is a very irresponsible statement. If you are correct to say this, then Jaseun has the right to say exactly what he/she said. Maybe the big truck did something to anger the 4-wheeler, than the resulting anger that is built and the ensuing action of the driver of the 4-wheeler would then be “justified”? People need to be responsible for their actions at all times regardless of what is happening around them.

This issue should never be truckers vs. 4-wheelers, each is case by case. Why not educate this individual? BTW, I am not trying to be disrespectful nor am I siding with what Jaseun is saying. Personally I disagree with the generalization of truckers. I know a lot of great people who drive truck.

 

Jaseun sounds just like my wife. She had the same thoughts and held the same contempt towards truckers until she married me. I told her to come ride with me for just one day, since that day I have heard not a peep out of her against truckers except for the few driving really stupid. Now she only complains about the one's hogging the left lane of a 4 lane highway running 55 in a 60 zone which causes a rolling roadblock or the one's who tailgate her in the right lane.

Seriously dude, hop in a truck and ride the same distance, once you do that then you can come back here and woof if you still harbor the same thoughts.

 

OK you talk about how bad us truck drivers are. ride with me for a few days. i work for a farmer and i make a lot of seed corn delivery's out in the country back roads.. you will really see what we have to put up with.

take today for instance. i was in a little town north of Bay city Michigan and i had to make a wide LEFT turn in order not to go in the ditch (about 12 foot drop on each side of the intersection filled with water at the bottom) so as i was 3/$ into my turn a little car came out of no where and came around me on the left. damn near running both of us into the ditch. now because that person was a complete moron, but does that mean that everyone who drive a 4 wheeler a bad driver???


and as to your comment on " with out truckers the nation would be up a creek" your damn right. see here's the thing everything you buy is delivered by a truck in one form or another. see with out is you would be screwed. so go and talk all the carp you THINK you know but don't try to come here and tell us that all truckers aren't worth a damn cause buddy your wrong. you don't know whats its like, nor will you prolly ever know whats its like to sit in the cab of a truck for 24 hours a day 7 days a week for weeks on end. you think were all bad drivers come here to Michigan and let me take you for a few days of some good hard labor and long driving hours and see what you will think of us when its over cause i can almost guarantee that your opinion will change.

 

Here is a list of things that are delivered without a trucks help.

The air we breathe is the only thing unless you need to be on O2 all the time then that comes by truck. Every other thing comes by truck. Without trucks within 2 weeks or less this entire countrys economy would fold like the house of cards it has become anymore.
