    I can appreciate your point about DA drivers in any type of vehicle, but what about those DA Moms with kids in their cars that do moronic things while driving beside or in front of a rig, causing a moving hazard for the truck driver? Can't very well get their license plate and report it; well you could but what trooper is going to pick on a "poor, innocent" mom with kids in a car (note sarcasm)?

    that sucks. i always leave ample loads of room before i come back into a lane, if i am gonna be anywhere near the front of a car/truck (sometimes we gotta get back over), i throw the blinker on and leave it for a little bit to give them some time to adjust then i SLOWLY come into the lane to make sure they know i'm coming in incase my blinker is out or whatever.

    The only info I got off the paramount truck was the truck number 184. I sent an email to his company.

    I dont mean to condon violence in a family friendly forum. But if you let people get away with stuff like that, then they will just keep doing it till they kill or hurt somebody. I personally view such attacks personally go about teaching them a lesson they will never forget, kinda like the way the scared me but in reverse. An eye for an eye. There behavior has to be stopped or another innocent person like yourself will get hurt or killed. You are by seeking immediate revenge doing them and all motorist a big favor.

    You're right there, people do stupid stuff in cars everyday. They only difference is they're amateurs, you're a professional. It doesn't excuse the behavior but it helps to explain it.

    Dang! Way to think fast and avoid a nasty accident. I know if that were me I'd be calling for the jaws of life just to get my cheeks opened back up.

    I'd really like to see the answer to that question. Using a big truck to get "revenge" on an icy interstate (or any other road for that matter). Sheer genius, Lloyd. :biggrin_25512:

    I never hesitate to call, email, etc, a company who's driver is acting the fool. UPS, Werner, pickup trucks or small parcel vans, doesn't matter, if they have a name or contact info, I give em a ring.
    But I've been known to call companies when I see a driver going out of their way to be courteous, or helping someone on the side of the road.
