My vote for A-hole of the month
 
This guy passed me on this curve and then tailgated this car for about 20 miles until we got into town. the speed limit was 55, I was going 62 when he passed.

I was hoping you could read the trailer number so I could email them the picture.

Sorry, Fredog, can't quite make them numbers out.

The funny thing is that we only have about 10 o/o's, so the chances would be pretty slim.

I tried to zoom in on the pics, but the pixels are too big. Can't tell anything about Avrett, but the second one looks like HERSHBOCH and a tractor number of 13734. Of course, it's not clear either.

it was a hirshbach truck and i don't remember its number. if you look in the passenger side mirrors, you'll also see how close the driver was to sharing some paint with my truck. the picture was also taken back in the late spring/early summer.

Sync, my question is, who left first? Did you have to wait or did he leave before you?

i ended up backing out of that spot. it was what i had woken up to. i tried knocking on his door and nobody was home. :x i waited another 20 minutes and said, "f--- this!" no one saw where the driver had gone. i didn't have time to wait on that driver. fortunately nobody was parked in the spots behind me.

I didn't want to sound like I was being funny or anything. I'd be pissed too. The sad part about it, it's not like this guy couldn't see how he had you pinched in. He probably was hiding in his sleeper... :) At least, like you said, there was room to back it up!

yeah, i was pretty steamed about it. that was the at the trucker's lounge and peppermill casino in wendover, nevada. it was my first and last time stopping in there. each time i'm going by it, i'm glad i didn't stop in there. it's a royal mess after 2000hrs, arizona time. i tend to go for places that are easy in & easy out. if i were to pull forward to try getting out, it would have been a bit tight, but not impossible. the space available to go forward is like the t/a in denton, texas, petro in sparks, and just about any pilot or love's.

LOL.....That is pretty common stuff up that way Flood!!

Can't tell you the numbers of times I got passed on the shoulder while in the gas tanker. :? :? :?

They just got no respect.

Mr. Ford95 03-03-2008 08:48 AM
Yep, same thing happens here all the time during the summer with high schoolers who think they are so cool doing that. Had one the other day that turned into a chase on 95 in Fredericksburg, VA. Guy was passing on the right shoulder, then rammed thru 2 road blocks before wiping out into the trees.

Want to try going up I-75 in FL and see a 4-wheeler pass you by... No driver behind the wheel... He's up lounging on the hood of the car and every now and then rolls over and reaches into the open window to correct the steering of the car. At the time, I was doing 70. Not sure what he had his cruise set on. A short time later, a full-grown bear had him pulled over, just before I-10.

I'd LOVE to know what he got for a ticket, but didn't have time to stop and find out.

I'm still waiting for my trucker cruise control that he had. Am I not told about the black box until after training?

Windwalker 03-03-2008 08:15 PM
No, it was not any kind of Simpson Re-run. I still have a problem believing it. There's no way on earth I would try that. Guess I'm not a college student these days. Frat initiation must really have progressed.
