    The morning after a bad snow storm in my town I come in contact with an impatient, horrible semi driver. 3 to 4 inch of snow on the ground, ice under the snow, and winds blowing 40 miles an hour happening the day before, into the night. On this morning schools were on 2 hour delays, and roads were still nasty. I'm driving on a pretty well traveled highway at around 830am. My side of the road wasn't as bad as the other side, but I still was taking my time being sure not to slide off the road. I was going 40 to 50 miles an hr. Finally getting closer to town the road clears more and now I'm going 55, a Midwest truck, comes up fast behind me, riding my bumper. Now, going the speed limit I'm not going to go any faster, especially when coming up on some slick spots here and there where the snow had drifted over the road. (keep in mind, I'm the owner of a toyota corrolla, I love my car, but not a 4 wheel drive. Only rear wheel.) The driver of the blue semi obviously gets impatient and starts to pass me, and blowing his horn as he flies by me. Wanting to get is license # i try to see it, but can't get a clear view from all the snow flying up. And I never get close enough on the highway, because now he's a ways in front of me having to go ATLEAST 70 miles an hr. A ridiculous speed for a truck driver to be going especially with the conditions the roads were in. Finally getting into town I come up behind him stopped at a stop light, grab a pen and paper and write his license # down. I'd love to report this driver from Midwest tank, but I'm not for sure which midwest he's from. I've looked them up online, but there's a company in OH, IN, and MN. Anyone have any suggestions of where I can find out which company he's from?

    If he's a company driver, get the company name off the side of the truck. If you're lucky, there might even be a phone number. DOT number and truck number are also there. Also, if you can, always check the back of the trailer. Some companies advertise that way. My company puts our names on our trucks. That's a pissed off four-wheeler pilot's dream.... :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    By the way, where did you find a Toyota Corolla with RWD? Didn't know such a beast existed.... :biggrin_25523:

    It's scary considering he might of been pulling hazmat. Call on the jerk if you can.

    Midwest Tank Company, Pittsburg, KS, 620-231-2160, has two drivers and hauls sand blast mate.

    Midwest Tank Haulers, Jamestown, ND, 701-252-8688, two drivers and hauls propane. Tank would have round silo looking ends

    What state was the plates from?

    The best way to identify a truck is the name and city on the side of the door...and the truck # usually on the hood or the trailer # on the back doors.
    The USDOT# or MC# identifies the company, but not the driver. Some can put two and two together by time and location. The plates will work with the company or police. In fact call 911 if someone scares or intimidates you.


    I had a 80 Corolla Hatchback. I liked that car.
