    If that was 44215, it was me and Miss Daisy (02 Freightshaker)...... told ya she would pull! But since she was a 105 rig, we must have been headed Down the 6% grade! Were there flames coming from tandems yet or were you the one at the top of the hill?

    This is one of "those" one's that should have never been given a CDL much less a drivers license.

    Evidently the person was terrified. There's no excuse for that type behavior. Speeding, tailgating, hitting his airhorn on slick roads.
    He would do us all a favor getting that driver off the road. He don't belong in a truck.
     
    48Packard, theweaselswench and rambler Thank this.

    Believe me, I totally agree. Personally, I think anyone (4-26 wheels) who drives in this fashion should be smeared in honey and staked to an anthill.

    Sorry if my playful humor at my ex-company detracted from the message at hand.

    Respectfully we've only got one side of the story. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to throw the driver under the bus. Just sayin'. :biggrin_25524:
     
    orion3814, MUSTANGGT and southtx Thank this.

    This person doesn't even know which wheels of her car are the drive wheels?

    Personally I have what I call the Dennis Connor Rule: You either 1.) Lead, 2.) Follow, 3.) Get out of the way.

    If someone is bound and determined to kill themselves, do you really want to stand between them and the tree? Sometimes 4-wheelers "blocking" have more of an ego than speeders.

    Yeah right, the day I see a swift truck doing 90 mph i'm parking my truck, the roads will be too dangerous to be out there.

    It may be unsafe for YOU to be driving 50 miles an hour but you need to remember a few things before you start complaining, #1 Experienced drivers(truck) can easily have logged more than a million miles-they are far more experienced than you are. #2 A big truck & trailer is alot heavier than your little toyota therefore has more traction than your little car, although he shouldn't have blown his air horn at you as he passed, but if you kept speeeding up after he came up behind you, the driver probably thought YOU were being a jerk an trying to keep him from passing---it happens ALL the time.
