Goodbye Driving career

Funny, one night on I35 I drove beside a car going the wrong way in the other lanes for over 15 miles, when I called 911 they informed me they already knew about it. No police ever showed up, eventually they exited. Don't get me wrong dui in a truck is stupid and the driver is nominated for a darwin award, I just find it interesting police respond to a truck driving erratically call within minutes but someone driving a 4 wheeler 65mph in the wrong direction on the interstate isn't much cause for concern.

 

Just we have it right. It's an 8 axle. There's a drop axle behind the tanks. That's your typical 105,500# GVW config. around these parts. Tare-40k Net-65k=105,500k GVW give or take a few hundred #'s. What a jackaz. Anyone looking for job in Seattle area?After further inspection the truck was prolly owned by the block plant or is a specialized truck for hauling that kind of material. Has an OS front axle 20k. High dollar truck too.

 

DANG!! good eyes on the tag axle.

 

Definetly an all nighter if he knew he was that drunk he should have hit a couple rails....I mean he was already ridin dirty....

 

I have never even had a sip of beer and got behind the wheel.......this guy was just too stupid or drunk to care.
I bet you he has no future in driving again for a very long time if at all.
One less idiot on the big road!

I can see having a few drinks on the weekend at home " i do it myself on occasion out of a Mason jar...lol ) but never even think about driving even a bicycle afterwards.

 

Keep reading this thread, I'm sure someone here will break out the : give him a second chance forgiveness, could happen to anyone here line of
Crapola!:

 

Yep! Probably correct.

I agree with you on that one. I called the police one night because a 4- wheeler about took out the side of my truck and almost hit several more vehicles and ran off the road more times than I could count and all I got was I will let the police know about it. I guess it is the mindset of the police that a big truck taken off the road makes them look like a hero. Just my 2 cents.

 

Nah. If he's got enough cash, he can get the whole thing dismissed.

 

He can't get a job at Walmart since they done away with the greeters (at least in my area anyways).
