    I am looking for the truck driver of a semi tractor-trailer that had a flat tire on
    southbound interstate 25 in Colorado at about mile north of Trinidad two miles north of the old Walmart distribution center on Friday February 21st 2020.
    The driver said he has been waiting three hours for a tire repair..he is my witness...
    This is about the motor home which ran into the trailer being pushed off the roadway by a Crete trucking company truck.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    Why don't you ask the truck tire repair shops that run mobile service in the local area? Chances are, theres only maybe 3 or 4 of these shops within 20 miles.

    By approximate time, exact date and location (i.e. southbound I-25 mile marker 16 or whatever) they would know who they provided service to, and could tell you the name of your witness's trucking company and unit number. Then call that company's safety department and explain your situation.

    And as a question, why didn't you see someone sitting on the shoulder before you pulled over into them at high speed, no matter what your excuse was. Maintain the big picture. If you were paying attention to your driving, you should have seen his 4 way flashers on a 1000 yards away. You weren't driving your Honda Civic. Part or most of this accident is on you, 4 wheeler.

    The Crete truck never stopped. I pulled over and flashed my lights at the Crete truck numerous times he slowed down went West on the curve in the highway and sped up to go up to the top of the hill.

    I didn't see the trailer stopped, was behind the Crete truck I went into the left lane to pass Crete and he immediately change lanes right in front of me, I slammed on the brakes move to the right lane and there is this tractor trailer parked on the side of the road. The Crete truck pulled back in front of me before he passed the pulled over tractor trailer, wedging me between two trailers.

    I called several tire shops within 20 miles and none of them worked on this tractor trailer.
    I have been driving motorhomes 26 years and I've never had a situation like this.

    U ever seen them signs on truck that say DO NOT PASS ON RIGHT?? WELL this is why. If crete moved to left lane and u slammed on brakes to pass him on the right when u shouldve seen the broke down truck on shoulder and moved back to the left, but decided to turtle race crete down the right lane. just like any other ####### that we deal with out there everyday. No sympathy for ur stupidity. Trucks dont move over for no ####ing reason , even know u dumb 4 wheelers think we are just messing with u. Trust me they dont pay us enough to f with u morons. If u see a truck move over in front of u , there is a good reason for it and u should give him a couple minutes , he will move back over. Hope u learned ur lesson but probably not
