    One time I saw a guy get out of a ruck followed by 4 rottweilers. Bet that one smelled like a bunch of daisies.

    I was at one hole in the wall place in Syracuse and a moving truck driver was having an argument with his helpers, then one of them got out and started stabbing the rhs steer tire.

    Yep, sounds just like the old west. (I'm sure Syracuse has to be west of something. . .) Get pissed at somebody, so you take it out on his truck. (I hooked up a guy for shooting a car parked in front of a bar. The bartender had 86'ed him, so he grabbed his gun and went back and killed the car. . .):rolleyes:

    After watching a video of idiots racing tri-axle dumps on the Fl. turnpike or I-95 (I forget which) I made the statement : It looks like some of our friends south of the border something something. I got censored for 'It looks like our friends south of the border' but all this is OK. Why? BTW I remember exactly who censored my comment.

    I'm the original poster of this thread. I see where it has gone and I understand why it has gone there; having said that, my comment " I could make predictions on where these drivers are from but that wouldn't be "pc" so I won't. " was not made to implicate those drivers from certain third world nations but rather those that come from a certain state west of AZ who seem to have a hard time driving down the road without ending-up in the ditch. I realize that many of the residents of this state struggle with the English language and fair better in Arabic or Spanish. So I guess people can make their own assumptions. I certainly could be wrong but in a typical days work along the I-10 corridor from El Paso TX to L.A. and throughout the state of AZ and NM (where I normally run), it's rather odd to not see a CMV crash involving a truck that somehow relates back to CA. Just what I see everyday.

    Someone posted on the news article that the person who died was their cousin and that they were from MO.

    I knew a businessman from Tennesse; he and his wife went to Florida on a business trip and one of those dump trucks blasted through a stop sign, hit his car and killed him, but his wife survived.
    What makes dump truck drivers so obnoxious and reckless on the roads? They're that way in every state and city.
