    Seriously?? What is wrong with people?? My former codriver called me earlier today and his words were ..."your not gonna believe what just happened here at the flyin J in Indianapolis!!"
    so he begins to tell me that he was on the phone with his brother/boss piddling under the hood of his Pete...as he watches 2 company drivers preparing to swap loads.... As one of these guys is setting up for the parking spot next the guy he's gonna swap with, a driver in a Western Star swoops in behind him,blocks him and takes the spot . So the company driver jumps out and goes and tells the western star guy "hey man! I was parking here, I'm swapping loads."
    the western star guy says. "Man there's a parking lot full of empty spots , find another spot!"..

    so the company driver does just that and swaps trailers with other guy and ends up beside the western star guy which is directly in front of my codriver.. He sees the company driver get out to check his trailer and him and the western star guy proceed to argue over this parking spot ! Next thing he knows the company driver takes his wratchit bar and busy out the western star headlight . The western star driver starts hollering "I'm gonna kill you!" He runs to his truck and grabs a big hammer and the company driver is climbing up in his truck and the western star guy drags him out and hits him with the hammer hollering he's gonna kill him and takes the wratchit bar from him beats him to the ground and has the company driver pinned to the ground with the bar on his throat pushing down as the guy is trying to holler for help!! My codriver missed some of this but he heard the guy hollering as people stood there watching this guy saying "I'm gonna kill you! Look at my truck!!" My codriver runs over and Hollared at the guy "stop it now!!" Wha do I think ur doing??!?!" The western star guy says look at what he did to my truck!!" My codriver says" man I think his life is more important!!" The guy finally stops and gets up! The company driver is bleeding... His face busted and finger broke..can barely move....
    so western star guy goes jumps in his truck and pulls off.. Cops show up. Find him on other side of lot and end up telling them their not gonna do anything it was a personal argument but it was the company drivers fault for starting it... They tell the company driver he might want to move to the pilot do the other guy doesn't do anything to his truck... Now... Now !!! He offers to buy the guy a headlight if he leaves his truck alone!!!

    then he proceeds to tell my codriver I have my concealed permit! I wish I woulda had my gun!! He woulda been sorry!!!
    In the next sentence thanking him a hundred times for saving his life!!

    then a little more of " I woulda got the upper hand, if u hadn't of stepped in"
    then as he continues to brag he goes to get back in his truck and guess what??? He's locked hisself out!!!!



    ALL THIS. Over a parking spot when half the parking lot was empty!!

    I'm beginning to think that some people are just a time bomb waiting to go off. You see it all the time driving, people just flip out over the smallest things sometimes.

    He he said you could see the rage in the guys eyes..that he truly believes he woulda killed him and left him laying under that trailer if he had not stepped in! It's a miracle and I'm thankful the guy didn't turn his rage on him! But... If that woulda happened then he would be in pain! Bc my codriver is no one to mess with! But still thankful!

    I remember news about 2 truckers in GA on I-20; arguing on the CB about one of them cutting the other off in traffic, so one shot the other while they were driving and killed him. I don't think they ever caught him either.

    Seems like I heard that....
    when I was still on the road we had a friend who was an O/O and him and a guy were running together and another driver cut him off on traffic headed south on 75 in Ga. And they stated arguing and the guy that cut him off ask him what he was gonna do about it and he said pull over and I'll show you! So they pull over on the side of the interstate get out of their trucks and the guy that was running with our friend grabs his tire thumper and proceeds to start beating the guy! He had to drag him off of him!

    Sounds like Truckergirl nailed it right there in her first sentence.

    "What is wrong with people?!"

    Stories like that are really depressing. Makes me glad I have my little local run out in the MD boondocks where I don't encounter too many other people.
     
    Logan76 and Truckergirl0720 Thank this.

    Ya know, I got into some heated arguments with some idiots and on more than one occasion I had some "men" tell me I should be home raising kids ( which at the time I thought was never gonna happen) and one time in particular I had a driver in Georgia start calling me all kinds of names and then told me what he could do to me and when he wax done Id have a kid to take care of... So I told him let's pull into the next truck stop and see how close u get to accomplishing even one finger near me.... So the next place to stop as I take the exit..( which was my exit anyway. Lol) he continues on his way and when I ask what was wrong he said if I was brave enough to stop he wasn't bc I probably had some sort of protection! Lol then he said he had just been messing with me.... Yeaaaa ok!!
