    IMG_3349.jpeg Apparently, old JB Hunt doesn’t think the stop arm applies to him. I thought he was gonna completely run it, and the lady driving the bus had the amber flashers on for probably a good half mile. He had plenty of time to stop, I was behind him, and I saw her kick them on, and I hardly had to touch the brakes to coast to a stop. he couldn’t have been more than about 250 feet in front of her when I saw his brake lights come on, and he was over halfway past the time he got her stopped. Guess it took a minute to get his flip-flops off the dash

    Looks like I'm a pumpkin farmer now. Bought a pumpkin last fall and set it down by the crik after the holidays. After it turned to mush I dug a little hole and buried with honors.

    Heck I’d even stand on the brakes if I had to. That’s as bad as blowing the speed limit in a construction. Maybe worse because of the kids.

    absolutely no excuse for it either. Perfectly straight stretch of road flat enough to see for a couple of miles. Uncalled for.

    That too. I don’t remember what the punishment is but I know it’s not a $25 fine.Heck I’d trigger an event on the camera and I’d still stand on the brakes. It’s the better choice.

    But…… where does he/it have to go to drink when you’re on the road for weeks? I would be afraid he/ it wouldn’t hear my truck coming home, and I would accidentally find him/it, in maybe my bed or something.
