    My safety guy told me a story about him almost backing over a guy at a truckstop.

    He pulled in about 5 am into the truckstop with his tanker on a dark rainy night and found a spot that some one had just pulled out of .

    Proceeded to back in the hole and kinda caught a glimpse of something at the back of the hole so he jumped out to look .

    It was a homeless guy who had been sleeping under the van that had just pulled out who had now rolled down into the curb.

    Ok. So I was sitting in the truck stop bathroom and broke the toilet. It wouldn’t flush. No crime had been committed but some would say a toxic spill had occurred. If I don’t call the duty officer can I be charged with a felony and will they suspend my Cdl.

    Keep rolling on. Its the hobos fault for walking out on a pitch black road. That run over foot will teach him a lesson.

    What if that hobo looking person is a mega fleet driver who just crawled out of his wreck down in the ditch? Just sayin' that just because they look like trash, they might actually be employed, or a contributing member of society, somewhat.

    Why does it matter if he is a hobo?
    He was on side of road...you took turn too fast. Your fault. Vests aren't required by law, but you'd still have him regardless as you left your lane.
    What would you do if someone hit your kid?

    We get a lot of foreign laborers riding bicycles Around at night without lights here in SW Florida which the cops will ticket them.

    Coming home from the pizza place that is a mile from old dads after taking him out for Pizza and beers.

    Car made a left in front of me and blinded me while I made a right . Meanwhile the Gautamalean coming down the sidewalk on his unlit bike from my rear and proceeded to cross as I was turning.

    Thankfully I was going super slow and stopped because I came with in a kitty hair of running him down.
