    Correct. And even the majestic jb hunt dispatch office in this situation would say uhhhhhhhh I dunnoooo, uhhhhhhhhhh

    so I being a jb driver at the time first asked him are you loaded? If yes you need to immediately put your landing gears down.
    the guy was CLUELESS

    Surprised to see TransAm and Watkins Shepherd what with their 10 day training programs not make this list.

    lol I worked at a mcdonalds back when I was in grad school pulling the closing shift, and the manager had me training people because I was the only one who knew wth I was doing and didn't stand around picking my nose(hey I get bored when things are slow lol)....needless to say, you'd think it would be easy to teach someone a simple task like flipping a hamburger...wrong, even back then in the 80's there was no shortage of brainless twits!, I go into a McD's these days and cringe at even some of the managers running these places....

    3. Container Haulers

    yeah Swift and Fedex have bad drivers too, but no way do they compare to 90% of container haulers. I've seen too many accidents caused by them, always fully loaded and going 75. I dislike government regulations, but I'd support one that more heavily regulates companies that do those loads..

    Here's some recent for me.

    1. Lessors. Yup. Down 95 in Oregon, I was behind another truck and the Lessors behind me was practically on top of me trying to pass us both. I mean you may not have fit a fart between us

    2. Western Express. Leaving the Pilot in Castiac, CA, he NEEDED to be in front of me where he almost crashed into me.

    3. Christenson. I-84 in Oregon coming up Cabbage, doing 10 mph because it was "foggy".

    I've been on the road for couple months, I've just completed my training. Here's my top 3 worse companies I had to deal with.
    FedEx when it was whiteout on I-35 couple weeks ago. I was going about 25mph, cause I couldn't not see 5m past me, but #### fedex driver flew right by me around 50 mph. Imagine driving in the cloud. I had to shutdown that day for that reason.
    Swift i stopped in the fuel isle and seen a swift driver on the phone in one hand and driving with another. After I was done fueling and getting my coffee, I seen the same driver backing out of where 4wheelers are and this driver was blocking the exit.
    Any sand haulers, from what I've seen you sand haulers just don't give a #### about people driving next to you, swerving in to lanes, no turn signals, tailgating one another.

    And i I honestly wish they would govern all trucks 65 and above. My truck is governed at 65, and for some reason I am still passing trucks. This is very annoying, when a driver is going at 64.9 and will not let you over.

    Try this trick...when you have a truck ahead of you governed just slightly slower, slow down by 1 or 2 mph and let them walk away from you awhile...at the end of your day you will only lose a couple minutes of your time. That's how I do it and then I sit back and watch all the other governed drivers drag race and cause a fiasco up ahead trying to save 1 or 2 minutes...
