    She’ll think it’s real funny until one day the truck doesn’t stop and runs over the top of her car. That’s the day karma wins.

    I understand what you are saying.
    The one that really burns me is that you see a driver coming out of a rest area and we move over to be courteous and safe but after you let them in they won’t let you back into the right lane because they want to pass you!!!

    Idiots!

    Welcome to our world today. The world of politics, of religion and of business, all are infected with the same "virus". Allow me to keep bringing the "Peter Principle" up, but the longer I live the more I am convince that when the book was written, the writer knew exactly what he was writing about.

    Broker load. Back east. Could be anywhere picking up in Washington/Oregon or even Reno. I’ve also picked up frozen French fries in Ontario Oregon.

    I hate that scenario too, especially when they are governed at the same speed you or close to it and don't want to take a backseat to you. That is another thing I hate about limiters, I noticed most think they gotta go as fast as the truck will go at all times.
     
    Lonesome and Silverdriver Thank this.

    She probably thought she would get millions if I hit her, little does she know I got two cameras in my truck, mine and the company's.

    Makes me glad in a way that I’m now on the dark side. I see y’all all the time here on 58 looking out of my windows down on the scales below.

    Indeed!
    “The Peter Priciple” By Laurence J. Peter?

    I remember reading in the 1980/90 about “Emotional Intelligence “ Back then in a nutshell the Idea was that before any person would receive a new position it would undergo a vigorous writing test and practical test in order to make sure they had the capability to handle the job properly. Followed by various interviews including a psychological.

    I remember back then people interested in becoming police officers or fireman had to take the test.

    I don’t know if they still do.

    About a month ago I went through Yakima, Washington.
    The mountains were beautiful! Do you still live there?
