Wanting to Thank Truckers

I want to thank truckers in general just because you can't really do it on the road. I am not a trucker myself though I do drive a lot on the Highways in the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, Canada. Just find that most truckers are you usually very good with giving you room to get on and off and are generally way more aware and better drivers than the rest of the public (and for obvious reason).

I dunno I Just want to say thanks, I've been bailed out a few times by a trucker giving me room to go across a lane to get off the highway or get off the Express Lane onto the collectors

 

Thanks! and your welcome lol.
A lot of young people are intimidated by big highway trucks and its understandable why, they are pretty big and those huge things can look scary in your rear view mirror. Truth is I probably feel a little more safer with a few trucks on the highway beside or near my because at least you know there are some good drivers around.

I've thought about becoming a trucker but I don't think I could do it for more than a year, all the time on the road would make me lonely and I don't think I could handle that.

 

Your welcome! I think most of the people I know anyways, realize the skill and talent that comes to driving a truck. I just I get stuck in rush hour so much and always truckers are generally so aware compared to the rest of the general public, because they're driving so much more. Typically I see truckers giving more room than needed going slow enough to break in case someone cuts in front. Usually when your getting on the ramp and all they're in the middle lane or giving you enough room to get on. Sure of course truckers get into accidents like regular drivers.

I remember one time my dad telling me a story where he was hit by a car and into the side of the a guardrail and then was sitting back in the right hand lane, and a trucker actually was right there and in order to prevent cars from hitting him just parked on an angle to ensure people would stop, cuz I guess the truck was really not going to be going anywhere anyways seeing as he would've hit my dad if he didn't do that.

I dunno I just feel they don't get enough credit, and like I try to thank them on the road as best as I can, but I can't always or they don't see so this is always a good place to do it.

Plus its always really neat to see trucks from other places, see a lot of them from Michigan, PA, Quebec, Manitoba..a fair bit from NS, Alberta, Ohio and all over its always nice.

As for Central Oregon I've been to coast of Oregon and its gorgeous and I loved Portland, OR when I visited it! Just a beautiful city if I say so myself. I' love long distance driving so I'll be in Central Oregon someday
