    I met a guy in Tulare that was waiting for them to give him a ride in the van to Grayhound so he could catch the bus home to Olive Branch. Got caught making a U-Turn on K street just north of the yard by Casey. Guess he forgot something at the yard. When he got back to the yard Casey was standing at the gate and told him to park it and come directly to his office.

    Knight was at least nice enough to get the guy his ticket home.

    Knight better have the cops waiting if they decide to fire me away from home over something stupi like a u turn. I will go to jail b4 I ride the grey dog for some stupid b.s.

    I do see a turn lane there. So he might have been making a left hand turn? Reporters are much worse than Police when it comes to stories, come on now, you all should know this by now.

    I've got nothing against U-turns as such (they're legal at many/most intersections, unless marked as not to, in AZ!); but the key as a driver is to do them safely & discretely!

    You best stop working for any company that has more then one terminal. Firing people for stupid stuff seems to be SOP(Standard Operating Procedure) these days.

    Just about every company will fire you on the spot for making a U turn. It's dangerous, and one of the two things drivers do that pisses me off when I see it. The other is not using hands free or texting. Be a professional driver, not a steering wheel holder.

    I just order my hands free steering wheel from Motorola. Now I'll never be distracted. Can't wait till they come out with hands free shifters. It'll all be mind controlled.

    Please explain because I can't figure out hands free brains. I never handled my brains with hands yet or anyone else's.
