This has been posted on here before, but I always laugh. 1. hes making fun of those idiotic Chevy commercials, and 2. Hes making fun at millenials.

 

As the KING!!!

 

Okay, you just pushed a button that has been eating at me all day!

What the F##K is going on with drivers nowadays? We're 16' wide however we move over far enough that we do not encroach on the lane to our left (or right) when a truck is coming by us. The old skool kool guys get it and they will hug the left side of the lane as they go by. No, we don't want or expect you to run off on the left (or right) rumble strip and tear up your tires/equipment, we're getting paid accordingly for the extra abuse to our equipment, we'll get out of your way. Even though you won't hear it on any CB channel, our rear escorts are calling out distances between our load and passing trucks the entire time someone is along side us.

Now my soapbox ##### fest....

I cannot count the number of trucks that come by us hugging the zipper or even crossing into the lane we're occupying as they are going by. I had at least a half dozen today that once the cab was past mine they just began coming back into my lane YOU HAVE 53' OF F#####G TRAILER BEHIND YOU GENIUS!!. Do these new drivers not have a clue where the right side of their vehicle is or where the end of their trailer is at? Do they think that the only thing they need to keep in their lane is the 4 square feet directly under their ### and f##k the rest of the 548 sq ft of earth the truck they are driving occupies??

I remember being able to watch the road in front of me as a truck was overtaking me but now I cannot look at whats happening in front while being passed because I have to watch hero coming by and keep swerving away from him as he crosses into my lane and dangerously close to an oversize piece that would likely bankrupt his company if he run into it.

And then there's the very nice lady trucker that decides she needs to tell us everything we need to do for the next 25 miles. What speed to take the next curve at, where to center up for narrow clearances, how fast to run on certain stretches etc. What does she think the 4 pickups with all the lights, signs and flags are there for? Of course we only "monitor" the CB but use VHF for communication so she was talking to no one after a couple miles however 25 miles later I turned the radio back up and she was still there calling out stuff for us.

Sorry for my soapbox session, was just one of those days, couldn't get to Dundee fast enough to call it a day.

 

Next time ,'05.
If I hadn't blown up my CAC I woulda made time this trip but crap happens

 

We went 64 through your state today, so, phew, it wasn't us......

 

What the ####is that?
And why the H is it dual steer?
Un####ingbelievable.

 

At 184,000lbs I don't pass much, not even a fuel pump. So it's awesome when someone recognized that I passed something...
