I have a lot of respect for these guys. However at around 3 am, Came to a stoplight 2 left turn lanes, straight lane, and a right turn lane. He is in the right turn and I'm in the right left turn lane. Light goes green and I go, all of the sudden I see the ####er cut over in front of me and turned back into the other direction. I swear some of these guys must have had to many Monsters or something.

Your turning to far out, plows have the right of way, of course hes swing wide, he has a plow he has to make room for.
Sounds like your in the wrong to me.Lane=addict, firemedic2816 and TripleSix Thank this. -
I always treat plows, garbage trucks, mail trucks, Amazon/UPS, ambulances, etc like they may have AdHd. Because you never know when they may pull a "crazy Ivan". As long as you didn't trade paint, you did your part. Call it a win! Stay safe driver.

If he’s blading, chances are he can’t see you anyways.OldeSkool, Lane=addict and Powder Joints Thank this.

If the plow is in the right turn lane and the truck is in the left turn lane, of course the plow driver can see the truck.
Just look out the left window as you are turning left.
Powder and Triple seem to be tripling on some kind of powder with those responses.Lane=addict and Powder Joints Thank this. -
Sounds to me like he was doing a u-turn from the far right lane with no indication and without looking. If you think it's anything but the plows fault there's something wrong with you. That said during big storms they're operating on little to no sleep.

No paint traded… …everything worked out. Why make a big ta do of it?
If you been driving anything from yugo to a road train any amount of time……..you have been the guy in the wrong. And for the high and mighty if you haven’t you will be. No one I mean absolutely no one is perfect all the time. ####in drama queens what happened to truckers being men?Oldman83, Sons Hero, TurkeyCreekJackJohnson and 11 others Thank this. -
I believe it. I drove one around with a blade and 2 wings and it Sucked and that was up. I wanted no part of plowing with them down.Trucker61016, Concorde, OldeSkool and 1 other person Thank this. -
I miss read, though it said two right turn lanes, and passing the plow on the outside or left right turn lane. My mistake. Still I give those plow drivers as much room as a Habebe in a truckstop.
Moosetek13, TurkeyCreekJackJohnson, Concorde and 2 others Thank this. -
I used to plow. Nobody wants to be around semis or snow plow trucks. The magnitude of stupidity is unreal. Semis and snow plow trucks - sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Every one of us has been there.
TripleSix, Trucker61016, TurkeyCreekJackJohnson and 2 others Thank this.
