    No WAY it'd be me sir! Because I was in a big truck but even before that I've always tried to give truckers a break! And my Dad and Sister are more truck conscious these days.

    thats a good thing....you would think that us both being drivers for over 20 years...our oldest would learn from us and be a good driver..right?? wrong...didnt pay any attention to us, thinks she is too cool.... she is terrible...everytime she would get out to pass a truck, she would slow down and hang there...she got better about being more alert around trucks tho and givin them room to turn etc....so at least something positive came out of it...

    There's a lot of people who are scared around big trucks. They can't stand being behind them, but are too chicken to get around them. Amazing to me the number of drivers that will just hang out beside a truck.

    Still hurting, but you know how it is; you ignore it and keep doing what you have to. I'm using the Ace Wrap bandages and they do seem to be helping.
