    Truly i came on here not to find out about my own safety although i appreciate the concern, i came on to find out whats going on in the cab of your truck when i did draft. as for that when i found out the facts from your end i stopped although i did come back with a rebuttal or two is only in the reason that i believe every angle should be looked at. and finally for you guys that have to be such dicks as to go on the attack and go to 3rd grade name calling and playing the game of who's dick is longer. good for you throw all the #### out your window you want and when some moron pulls a gun or worse you will learn who has the longer dick be rational and learn to put #### to rest. although i would love to here what witty remarks you all have to say about this i have my answer and i will continue not to draft out of consideration of you "nice trucker folk" :biggrin_25514: drive safe and keep those hopes high

    I see you have finished your education, and learned what I've known for a while. Truckers are overgrown children that think that there way is the only way.

    I have been driving 12 years off and on and can say that I am not proud of it because of this.

    ...take your college degree and stick it---I have 2!! You're the kind of A-$-$-holes we have to deal with on a daily basis! Grow up!! All you are doing here is expressing your ignorance to professional drivers!! :biggrin_2551:You're one of the reasons that I-25 from Col. Springs to Loveland is a mess!! Take you little whiney behind back to the 'Berkeley of the Rockies' (Boulder) where you belong!! I lived in CO for several yrs and got tired of ppl like you!! If you want to save $$, get a bike, and get off 'our' commercial Interstates!!

    Was in CO 2 weeks ago and had someone draft me in heavy traffic SB I-25 thru Castlerock where turns to 4-lane Hwy! Wonder if this clown drives a Silver Toyota???:biggrin_25513:

    Also had a 4-whlr 'sneak up' behind me last Monday at a very close distance on EB I-10 in the Mojave around Desert Center, CA---didnt 'see' his car, but saw his 'shadow' on the roadway! Then I go into my 'porpoising' move (55-65 mph, up & down) and he (& 'they' in general) got frustrated and left shortly!!:biggrin_25522:

    This whole thread makes me wonder how the heck he got his license in the first place. The two second rule is on the darn test!!!

    On another thought, I would love to see him try to draft my DH and he would get a windshield full of cow crap! Bet that would teach him!!! I guess that is one advantage of hauling bulls, 4 wheelers never get too close!:biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    Oh, I hear you! Its not pretty! The bottom of that trailer after a couple of days without wash out is just disgusting! DH does a full change, before crawling in there, and changes back after he's done, just to keep the residual smell OUT of the cab!!!:biggrin_2552:

    There has been a lot of attention on them since a couple of weeks ago. Some guy was on the 680/80 Junction in Omaha, going too fast and tipped over the truck. Cattle loose everywhere, they had to shoot a lot of them that were running around in peoples back yards. :biggrin_25524:

    Of course this brings the DOT to attention and everybody pays for one guys mistake. :biggrin_25511:
