    The thing with U-turns. They’re not always feasible, but when a driver has to make one, it would be wise for the driver to actually look at the surrounding area and make sure they can make it without putting anybody in jeopardy… That’s if they don’t have a parking lot they can turn around in

    If I followed the routing I usually get to the letter I’d have to do several just in the first half of my runs. I always rearrange the load before leaving so I can work one side of the highway and then the other. That now only requires ONE u-turn.

    Anyone who doesn't think there's a problem, let me ask. When you go to a foreign country, do you feel like you should be able to violate their laws? The answer is obvious.

    I want to punch him in the face through my phone, rip his turbin off, #### in it, and jam it back on his head.

    now we find more of the truth about this piece of crap… The idiot was illegally in the country, and the state of California had issued him a CDL with him being illegally in the country… Fry his behind and then deport him… And for those that are offended by this to hell with you, you can join them exit stage left…

    He probably already ####s in it. Or someone did it cause he was washing feet in the sink.
