Then you boss is also an idiot.

I hope you a had different attitude in the military Which attitude would this be? I was going the speed limit and he pulled right out in front of me and stopped. I am sure you could have avoided the situation given your superior intellect. You wanted to post a comparison there Skippy, you blew it! Now try and convince me that this was a non-preventable. you are right COMPLETEY PREVENTABLE , I am going the posted 55 mph limit, he pulls out right in front of me and then just stops. I should have not been there at that time, completely my fault, the cop charged him with the wreck, but it was still preventable, I should have left 8 hours earlier so I could have held it down to 15 mph and therefore been able to stop for any situation. I have numerous safety awards and even 2 courtesy awards given by a company that rewarded its drivers for compliments that were called in. ditto.. so? I doubt it, youdotn get courtesy awards by being an A-hole Then how pray tell did you supposedly get any? I also have never been threatened or have I threatened any one on the cb, Do you want a cookie for this? It's not the topic. you must be guilty of this one Read the first reply, I do not even turn on a CB 99% of the time. And arguing with some BBR would prove what? I gave up on these dimwits years ago. I dont park at the fuel pump unless I am getting fuel. I guess you are guilty again Again, no points for doing something that you are supposed to do. I dont create my own parking spot at truckstops. And? guilty again huh? Of what? I work twelve hour shifts and go home, I do usually give my "free showers" away to the OTR boys who need them, I have no use for them anymore. I yield for drivers who want to go faster ( cars and trucks) In normal situations and in normal traffic I think everyone including myself stays over to the right and allows the faster traffic to go by. HOWEVER, that's not always possible! There are times where it is safer to get over to the left and allow a potential dangerous situation to un screw itself. If this happens and I need to get over to protect THEM, then that's exactly what I am going to do. If this makes BBR wet his depends and get upset, then screw him! but you said earlier that you dont move for anyone, so lets just forget the whole thing , you are a discourteous unprofessional steering wheel holder and are not likely to change, so I will try my best to avoid you, and if I see you trying to merge, I will give you all the room you need, even though you would not do the same for me. Really? please quote me where I posted that. And as for room, I'll only watch out for you during the left turns when you are about to run me over.

If waiting on traffic causes you to get "steamed", as you put it, than perhaps it's time to find another profession where dealing with traffic is part of the job description.
Not necessary. Everyone got it! Ever hear of an "edit" button?
Aggression will get you nowhere in this business. It is because of aggressive drivers that there are so many regulations being dumped upon the industry.
It's a "message board" REV.... not reality! (your words, I think) :wink:
I'm sure YOU (if no one else) will "get it." :wink:
I guess you DIDN'T!! :shock: :roll:
Take a deep breath, count to 10, and relax.
Of course, you can always use that adverse driving exemption to get home........ You STILL don't "get it." :roll:
I don't get "steamed" over the normal actions of truckers who are just trying to do their job. Because, I UNDERSTAND that. It's the actions of a FEW, that are UNEXPLAINABLE and INCONSISTENT with ALL I know about "sharing the road" that steam me.
I will NEVER understand a "so-called" professional driver that passes me and cuts over with only a few feet to spare, when there are miles of open road ahead of us, and no one behind him! This puts ME in the "illegal" position of "following too closely." That's a MAJOR violation, and you know it only takes TWO to make me sit at home for 2 months! Why should "I" have to slow down? You've got an accelerator, and you were ON it while passing me. Can you not stay ON IT just a minute more to get a safe distance beyond me?
And, I will NEVER understand the idiot who sniffs tailgate of another truck until he sees that I'm about to blow by him in 3 seconds.... and chooses THAT moment to pass the guy in front of him that he hasn't even got the speed to pass!
I don't ALWAYS get on the CB in these cases.... but I admit that I do sometimes! But, I call if "traffic control." :lol:
Is that so much to ask, REV?? That you yield the road to a faster truck, and wait until you are a safe distance beyond me to take away MY "right of way?"
NOPE, You're WRONG! Remember, "I" was in the fast lane, HE was in the slow lane (NOT in front of me.) The law dictates that you do NOT move over in front of another vehicle and take away his "right of way" unless you can match or exceed his speed and not hinder him. Same goes for changing lanes in FRONT of me. If you pull over in front of me, and take away my "right of way," you MUST maintain a speed that will not hinder me. I'm SURE you will want me to post the reg! I'll find it for you. :lol:
I can deal with EVERYTHING else!! I am constantly judging the speed of every vehicle behind, and in front, of me! I play no favorites between 4wheeler and trucker. I "lift" when I need to, and "go" when I need to, to keep the flow of traffic going at a safe and constant speed.
I see events well before they happen, and usually before the trucker or 4wheeler "on his phone" does! I plan for it. I "manage" it! I stay "focused." But, I WANT to do the speed limit, if I can! Truck wasn't IN FRONT of me, until he took away my "right of way!"
Am I doing something so wrong, Rev?? (any answer besides "no" will NOT be tolerated! :lol: )
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't get 55 cpm to drive 55 mph.... and wouldn't take it if I could! I'm doing NOTHING illegal (well maybe 5 over SOMETIMES, but that is acceptable to all the cops who have passed me!) "I" am not the danger on the road!
And your answer belies an ignorance that I KNOW you don't possess.
Now, tell me Rev, with all your years of experience...who is safer? ME? Or the many trucks I see nose to tail (less than 20 feet separation) who can't SEE the road ahead of them, and are so complacent in their "elephant train" that they can talk on the cellphone, read a map, or check out their laptops while doing so?
I SAID to be honest! What? Are you running for office now? :lol: :lol: Oh, I GET IT! YOU'RE one of those in the "elephant train" and don't want ot admit it! Okay!! :wink:
