    The people on these forums seem to be a pretty good group and I have never had an issue with any of them.
    Let 'em get behind the wheel ......

    How does this.....

    Warrant this?

    The guy gets on here to thank the professional drivers, and you....in your 8th post... see an opportunity to wag your tonsils and vent your frustrations over every idiot who has crossed your path in the course of your perfess'nal career.

    Nice PR work!

    After dealing with these daily problems for 27 years, you still get mad??

    Of course we like to keep our momentum going. But is being slowed down and moving your right arm really a vein popper? Someone needs some stress management. Maybe some yoga? :biggrin_25519:

    Took the thoughts right out of my head--with one exception--I'm not buying the 27 years--IMHO--there are very few who could stay out here doing this full-time for that long and still get annoyed at all by any of this--and I have watched the transformation way tooo many times--either learn to accept--and chill--or find another line of work-(or the worst case scenario-which happens all too often also--get way to frustrated and get into a few problems and end up out of the business)Now maybe it is because I am one of those ol set in his ways PITA drivers the newbies are always complaining about(which isn't the least bit true)BUT--I have to admit almost all of my conversations etc.--are typically with people closer to my age and typically with more experience--but I do interact and talk to all--now I bring this up because I hear the kind of attitude displayed by the OP almost exclusively in newer drivers--and typically it is one of the older guys/gals--trying to get him/her to relax and learn to accept these things as part of the job---
    And in the very small chance I am wrong about the OP real amount of time out here--then you #### well better learn to chill--cause with all the internal injury you have already caused yourself in 27years of aggravation--physically you are a time bomb! So take care of yourself!

    Bless you for having and using that CB radio.What would you do without it and us too?Now remember don't be using it like a cellphone. Any hold up in traffic is not acceptable;not even for us 4-wheelers.Where I live at I wake up to trucks and go to sleep with them climbing the hills-8:30 A.M.-2:30 A.M.Do you ever sleep?There's regulations on how many hours you can drive isn't there?:biggrin_2551::biggrin_25518:
