Bad semi driver!!!

Now wouldnt it be interesting if this said driver has a onboard driver camera that shows a different story????

Gives you something to think about, there are 2 sides to the story. We know that Lil has an attitude, but what about the other drivers perspective?

 

There's holes in the story like doing the speed limit and doing 75 mph.
I think she done something to irritate the driver that she wasn't aware of because of lack of experience and knowledge of trucks.

I also believe road rage followed by both.

A professional driver should know how to remedy the situation and keep his cool though. Maybe he should of been the one getting off the ramp and come back down the other side to a better scenario. I know when someone bothers the heck out of me like a gnat, I'll usually take a break.

 

Uhhhh WHAT????

You also claimed the conditions were wet. There isnt a driver around with a load that wants to do 75 in wet conditions. Most trucks from companies are governed to keep their drivers from speeding. Perhaps you were blaring your horn when you passed them and cut them off?

 

Agreed. Far easier to let off the throttle and let some one whom is hot under the collar to blow our doors off and disappear down the road.

 

Since she is the one posting here I prefer to help by giving good info to her on how to respond in the future. This has already been done though.
No, we do not know the full story, but we cannot just assume that she did anything wrong either. That is acting defensive, and will not help.
We are professional drivers. This thread is here to help non-professional drivers to understand us better and maybe get some info. Not to throw remarks back at them on the questions they ask.

 

Excellent post. And I thought the gratuitous "...some 4-wheelers shouldn't be on the road either" was really weak. Came off as a "nyah-nyah-nyah" type response.

We all agree a good number of drivers of all types of vehicles shouldn't be out there. But ChromeDome said it best.

 

I used to agree with that but lately there's been plenty of trucks flying past me no matter the conditions. They even run like that in rain and fog on the worst parts of 40 through the mountains. I don't know how they make it through upright.

i wasnt talking about truckers i was talking about 4wheelers

 

Uhhhhh WHAT????????????

I see these morons out here all the time in bad weather doing 75+ in trucks!

If she blared her horn....So ######' what? We are supposed to be "pros" we are supposed to be able to deal with the day to day aggravation of amature drivers in cars with a degree of professionalism that is sadly lacking in many of todays "professional " drivers!
