Construction Workers

Get used to it as it is part of the job. Do a little window shopping instead of letting it upset you.

 

HP21 -u should see my doctor, he's got some really good advice and legal medications he can prescribe u for those issues u have.

 

they are just doing their job--get over it--calm down a bit---if you are stuck in a line up---clean your dash--update your log book--when its been a long wait for an accident i have even had a nap in the bunk--no use getting all excited about it---besides that time you are sitting there waiting will probabely let your log book catch up

 

I hope they are working...the more they work, the more aggregate & related products we haul to supply them. Not only that, its work for redi-mix drivers too. And what's concrete made out of? yep...agg & sand.

How realistic is it to get mad at someone for doing their job? Even telemarketers...just politely say no thanks and hang up. Simple.

 

You know how people complain about us drivers going to slow, or taking up too much space? Well we bring the stuff they like to buy at the stores. How do we get to those stores and other delivery locations? On roads! With out the workers that grind your gears so, we would be beat to death on poor roads. Our repair costs would be greater and it would take longer to get to places cause you wont be speeding down the road, instead you will be going slower to keep your insides in. So next time your inconvienced by those pesky workers on the side of the road or even in the road, think about how much more of a P.I.T.A. it would be without them.

It amazes me how many people out there think they are the only ones on the road and everyone should just get the hell out of THIER way. Its part of the job get used to it or get another job.

 

Another NEWBIE without knowing the business, it's part of our "hazardous occupation", every job has it. Listen to your news channel radio if your in the city, and C.B. radio if your out in the country. Do your planning in advance if your in a hurry. BTW, Welcome to the real world of TRUCKING.

 

i unfortunately do not have any statistical numbers with me right now, but do you know that there are many deaths and serious injuries at construction sites from moronic drivers, both car and big rig than many other occupations..??

do YOU THINK those tiny cones or barrels actually prevent construction workers from harm..??

do YOU THINK that thier safety at a site is NO MORE important than yours..???

do you know that truckers in a very big hurry and trying to get through a construction zone get whacked with hefty fines...and points....???

I HAVE SEEN death and destruction at construction sites, and until YOU DO, you will talk your ignorant self away......

i can ASURE YOU the carnage, blood, gore i HAVE SEEN at construction sites, makes ME GLAD i hold back and suck it up...

do i hate seeing construction season...??? of course i do....but it's a necessary evil we have to go through for better roads.

YOU NEED to PLAN BETTER than WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND FIND A WAY AROUND....

maybe perhaps instead of yaking on the phone, or NOT listening to the cb radio for warnings is making this ALL YOUR FAULT....

i know I FIND "go arounds" when construction season is upon us....

good luck, you obviously NEED IT.....

 

wear a clean baseball cap on Sundays, always agree with the waitress you DID order the duck, keep your fingers clean and pick your nose only after 5 PM on days that end in "Y"......
