too bad you couldn't have got his #### truck number...too much of that nonsense going on with some of these new drivers out there
orion3814 Thanks this. -
I see this all the time. And passing on narrow bridges, between buildings, etc. Most of the very new people are taking their time through construction because they are still getting used to the dimensions of the vehicle and are nervous about painting the jersey wall. Inevitably, though, no matter how fast I'm going through a cone zone, someone will pass me, often with very little room to spare. I haven't been smacked yet...but when I am, you know I'll be getting numbers.
The guys in the biggest hurry seem to be the ones with wide open trucks and something to prove.orion3814 Thanks this. -
time location and color of truck they can check all the logs and gps on the trucks in that area at the time it happened it will narrow it down a lot.... dont need ne prime drivers out there giving me a bad name...

True that orion. Every company has a certain percentage of drivers who suck. As a current driver for Prime, I'd like to see that jerk off the road. It was one thing to do something stupid, but once he fled the scene all leniency goes out the window. I always drive in a way that represents Prime well. If my co-workers can't do the same, they can go drive elsewhere.
As Orion said, with electronic logbooks and GPS tracking, a general description of the truck along with a specific time / location may be sufficient info to track the guy down. -
sorry guys and lady just got home again.was to busy to get anything but marone truck and prime on trailer . if i could have my company would have loved that info to . but thanks for the suport drive safe
