Default Why you shouldn't think a parking lot is a race-track

I was at the Flying J in matthews, MO saturday night and a schneider driver decided he wanted to show us his driving skills and grab as many gears possible leaving the fuel island...... he didn't realize they had set out parking-stops for a spot they were repaving and he hit one with his trailer going about 35mph. I took some pics and sent it to SNI so they know what this dumb-ass was really doing. Here's the damage :clap:

Company drivers ... Or maybe he didn't pay for fuel The picture could be an ad for GoodYear tires: "Even when an air-to-air missle hits your rim or you run over a dead coyote, or a very big man puts a hammer to it, our tire will still look okay ... from a distance!"

Yeah... we see allot of Canadian trucks that look like that here in N. Mitchigun.


You can always tell a Canadian truck coming up on your six, from the tell-tale
flap-flap-flap-flap-flap-flap-flap-flap-flap-flap, etc.
They somehow always have an orange road cone wedged between a trailer dualie.

Truck stop drag racing is usually the domain of the Bullwagons around here.

Yeah, I just thought it was funny as hell. Then I overheard the driver saying he was going to call it in and just tell them he hit something in the road "because I'm on probation already for side-swiping a truck a few weeks ago"..... these are the types of drivers I have no problem turning into the boss man as an IDIOT!!!!

GOOD RIDDENS!

"Yeah, I just thought it was funny as hell. Then I overheard the driver saying he was going to call it in and just tell them he hit something in the road "because I'm on probation already for side-swiping a truck a few weeks ago"..

That's scary as hell. :hellno: Its a shame that it's those type of drivers that the motoring public seem to think of when they think of truck driving. No one remembers the skillful aware drivers that are the majority, just the jackass wheel holders.

I wonder what Schn*****'s CSA score is gonna be after a little more time with guys like this in their rigs. :roll:

Good for you Steelhorse, otherwise this guy will never learn anything and continue on in ignorant bliss until something much worse happens!
