    I was taking my 30 min break at the Love's in Mooresville, IN today. As I was about to leave I see an Autobahn Trucking truck hightailing it from the street entrance. He goes around one truck trying to park, comes flying around the tire care center and barely misses being hit by a Schneider Driver straight backing into a spot. The Schneider driver stopped, set his brakes and ran over to the Autobahn driver to give him a piece of his mind. I pulled up next to the Schneider truck, got out as the driver came back and told him I wanted to give him a thumbs up for confronting that driver over his dangerous and disrespectful operation of his truck.

    He said the other driver acted as if he did nothing wrong.

    Good for the Schneider driver! I get so sick of these guys that think they are in the INDY 500 while in the parking lot! 5 mph is almost to fast, but are doing much faster.

    10-4, anything over 5 mph is to fast in a parking lot!

    Yep, that is another thing that ticks me off, these jerks that just dump their trash and pee bottles by their trucks, and drive off. Quit being a lazy ##### and walk to a trash can. Only take a few seconds.
