Safety warning

It's at this point that it really does not matter who we all work for, we are all on the same team. Pray for this man and his family.

 

Drivers definitely need to be more aware of their surroundings, but I feel that truck stops should also be somewhat accountable. Have someone monitoring fuel islands/parking lots and reporting unsafe behavior to the companies.

 

I have loss count of how many times i have seem trucks RACE thru the fuel island.
It's all about me me me. SCREW YOU GET OUT OF MY , you shouldn't be walking there Attitude.
I'd like to see trucks stops add Speed bumps at the entrance of each fuel island. That would slow down the wanna be nascar driver down.

 

Skibum, It's guys like him that give us all a bad name. We all hear the talk about how we are always looked at lower than Dog ####, well this is part of the reason why.

 

I had some driver fly by me as I was waiting for another driver to back in. He nearly clipped that truck. No respect anymore.

 

No offense, but how is the truckstop accountable, the truck stop is not driving the truck, and as far as monitoring the fuel islands, they don't have enough help to run the cash registers the way it is...... The truckstop isn't going to turn any one in they want the business.

 

truck stop racers are a real problem, they yell at me on the cb all the time cause im too slow they will deal with it i have time

 

Cross walks at truckstops would be a good idea. Like when you are at a receiver or shipper and they have yellow lines telling you the safest path to walk. I know some of the lazy ######## will take the short cut out of the path. But if they do it's on them.

 

Few people pay attention to the crosswalks on the streets, much less at a shipper/receiver or truck stop, unfortunately. It's the 'Me, me, me, my business is more important than yours' attitude.
