    So today I was driving along doing my thing as I always do, get a tanker behind me as always wanting to be in a hurry thinking he the only one out here.
    lol well he finally past me in a construction zone doing 70 and gave me a look like I ran over his grandma or something. Well I had to show him who the boss was, past him again and he was never able to pass me till we went separate ways lol.
    So yes I pull a medium size company trailer but my tractor doesn't belong to them and isn't governed.

    I'm just really tired of getting that look like I ran over your grandma, if I'm slow there's a reason for it otherwise I'm at least doing the speed limit

    thanks my daily rant for the day

    And why do people feel they need to 'get even'?

    If you would have gone on in the first place you wouldn’t have got the stink eye.

    Sure did. That tanker yanker went home and stewed, and actually thought about getting online to write about the idiot sandbagging door slammers, but read this rant and is now afraid to say anything…

    …or MAYBE…

    …once the sandbagging quit, the ranting raving door slammers who wish harm to grandma are so insignificant that the tanker yanker couldn’t remember the rant worthy event if you showed him a video?
    Winner.
