had a close call lastnite
 

hi everyone, lastnite i was bringing a load from albany, ny to granby, ct and i was on i91 going south when this moron in a mini van was in the middle lane and i was in the slow lane just like always, and he starts moving over into my lane. he was inches from having his mini van getting run over by a 18 wheeler. his wife was on the passenger side so she would of got it first. how do you not see a huge truck on the right of you. i pulled on my trusty horn and he seen me and must of craped his pants and flew back in the other lane. watch out for four wheelers people there dangerous. just wanted to share that with ya's and post it on this forum for the newbie's bye.

Sounds about par for the course :D

Won't be the last ...What's funny is the guy driving was probably convinced you did something wrong :wink:

Just another day in truck driving. :P

Motorcyclists are another one to watch out for!

Besides 4 wheelers, the worst drivers are bus drivers, local drivers, and rock haulers.

I don't drive an 18 wheeler yet, but when I do, I will drive it just like I do in my personal vehicle...defensively. That car coming into the intersection isn't going to stop, that car stopped at that side road is going to pull out in front of me, that car in the lane along side of me is going to move over in front of me, etc... Got to pay attention ALL the time.

:wink:

..sad thing is they seem to not get too bothered by our horns anymore...no more 'wakeup, moron!' message associated with our horns? :?

And container trucks :roll:
