    We have a driver like that. We drive the same 50 mile route multiple times a day through a couple of small towns and that driver can't figure out where the turn signal is, why it's not ok to be able to read what station the car in front of you is tuned in to, doesn't seem to understand crowding the center line means your mirror is over the center line and refuses to slide the axles on the trailer....that driver always has the axles all the way to the rear.

    A week or so ago, that driver crowded the center line so far over that when they met another truck, both trucks driver's side mirrors were knocked off. The other truck was completely in his lane and couldn't get any further to the right without putting his load of live chickens in the ditch. Our driver was empty and could have stayed completely in their lane, avoiding a crash.

    White Volvo is just a slang term used to describe companies run by people from the eastern block that run cheap arrow special type trucks and have 1099 employees

    ####ing 78 in jersey is scary in the am Holy cow. I much prefer running 80. The good thing tho during morning rush you can put the hammer down and not get caught unless you do something amazingly stupid

    I avoid running NJ during the day, that emissions enforcement unit is a pain in the ### if you have a glider or older truck.

    First time I encountered the Jersey pipe sniffers was 20 years ago at exit 5 on the Turnpike, driving a Euro truck if you can believe that. :biggrin_25523:
