    Don't mean to correct you, but...

    Prefix 1 are company
    Prefix 2 are Lease Operators
    Prefix 3 are Owner Operators

    Btw, this recruiting video is a real puff piece ;-)

    Driving with family in an SUV north on highway 5 near Mt. Shasta and got stuck in traffic due to a collision. A left lane had traffic cones so we needed to merge to the right, we let one truck pass, then a Thomas and Sons Truck that was behind us and to our right in the lane where we needed to go, instead of letting us pass, honked and drove so we had to drive into the cones or get hit by their huge truck. He then honked and tried to run us off the road. Very dangerous and rude behavior. We got pictures of the truck and plan to call to complain. There were two men in the truck.

    Please understand that in a situation where a vehicle must merge into a lane of traffic, the throughput has the right of way. Merging traffic MUST yield to the right of way. The through lane cannot and should not stop to allow traffic to merge in. This creates a dangerous situation and can cause more accidents to occur. Remember that semi trucks have a much greater stopping distance than a car, pickup or SUV. Please stay safe out there!

    Yes I'm guessing he knew this and was willing to show it. Traffic was stop and go, he was coming from behind, we already let one slow truck go, there was plenty of room for us to get in, and this truck accelerated, honked and tried to run us off the road just because we were about to go in front of him. At one point he was stopped and then accelerated and steered left...husband and I were like "wtf is he really trying to run us off the road?" Just a-hole behavior. Just because they have right of way doesn't mean cars have to stop and let a bunch of slow trucks keep going/no one would be able to merge if that was the case.
