    When I was out with a trainer, there's this one time we stopped at this pilot at dallas, tx for a whole day and there are a group of ducks/mallards sitting at the pilot and I fed them and it was fun, so any other places where birds are abundant in the truck stop and they are usually fearless and you can feed them?
    I think there's a legal problem right? Some state prohibits you to feed wild birds?

    Throwing bread on the ground at a truck stop might poison the birds with diesel, oil, rubber, and urine...lord knows what else.

    Anytime I see a CRE truck parked overnight at my local wallyworld, I hope it's that jerk that ran me and the wife off the road a few years back and I put 2 or 3 loaves of bread all over the truck and watch the gulls have at it. AAhhhh bird watching.

    Not every truck. Just that one. I don't feel bad about it all. The way I was treated when I called the company and reported that one of their drivers had run me and my family off the road and failed to stop was inexcusable. He knew he ran us off the road too cause he blew his horn. That was wrong. What I'm doing is therapeutic.:biggrin_2559:

    You gotta understand how many phone calls companies get EVERY DAY from paranoid & exaggerating 4 wheelers about how they got "ran off the road" by a big rig. I am not saying your case was not legit, it does happen...there are horrible drivers everywhere. Just saying, I know there are 2 sides to every story and the size of the rig usually leads to the 4 wheeler playing the victim.

    Again, not discounting your experience...just exposing a small portion of what goes on with that end of the phone call.

    Oh I know believe me. I was treated like it was my fault. We had independant witnesses and a filed police report. I was treated rudely by everyone I enountered in that company. I make it a point to tell my story to every England driver I encounter. They all express their sympathies and concur that the office personnel lacks basic interpersonal skills. It a vendetta. What else can I say.
     
    Flying Dutchman Thanks this.
