Had an interesting conversation with an O/O...

You're quite right. I wonder how many truck accidents were caused by hubris

 

You're right. The law does apply to him. His time is just more important that yours. At least that's what he thinks.

I see this every single week on this route. It's almost always the plastic truck crew usually pulling Amazon trailers or UPS, FedEX and JBHunt. They blow right past the brake check and fly down the hill with their four ways on.

The fact they have their four ways on proves they know they should be doing 20 instead of 60. They're straight ruining that route for me. They need to stay up on 80 where they belong.

Bears watch that area regularly. They like to sit in that little access road on the West side but facing East. There was a rollover near the reservoir a little over a year there too.

 

You got it. I go out of my way to run it because 80 has become such a war zone of reckless trucks. I despise 80. It's full of trash.

 

I travel that route on a weekly basis. Have been nearly hit 3 times when pulling out of stop sign thinking the oncoming truck is pulling up to stop sign only at the last minute to realize they are blowing by it. The good part is I have been seeing DOT in that area a lot. Yesterday morning they were at the top watching the stop sign. Usually they are near the bottom with radar. About 6 months ago, one was with radar and radioing down the line. There were 5 trucks pulled over between the bottom and the Milroy exit. Just a matter of time until these idiots get burned!

 

One owner operator told me he owned a truck because he couldn’t work for any boss man. Just because someone owns a truck doesn’t make them any higher up the ladder. It may just mean they’re a bigger jerk.

 

One 60 in a 20 zone ticket would take the pompous outta that guy. Too bad it's in PA, Ohio would be all over it...

 

No need to be telling people what to do. You won't gain anything out of it. He won't change cause of you.

So was it worth it
