Dump truck plays real life version of Grand Theft Auto. 2 Troopers struck

I mean I’ll go to that scale house

 

. I’m always happy to gain a little knowledge but this having to go get the Websters dictionary to look up the definition of a word I’ll probably never use and most likely never read again seems a waste. REO6205 I say well done sir.

 

STOP USING BIG WORDS...!!!!!!!

obsequious


i had to take a whole 10 seconds to stop, copy, paste, and read the
definition

and at my age, that 10 seconds could mean the difference in life and death...>!!!!!!!

 

I thoroughly enjoyed your use of obsequious.

 

GTA 5 is definitely one of my favorite games the road laws are so loosely regulated you don't even need insurance. I can cut off a car by jumping in their lane with no warning then haul a&& down the opposing lane just to take the off ramp to get to where I'm going. As long as you don't hit a police car you're just fine. And theres definitely no emission laws in GTA.

 

Might be my new favorite word.

 

Of course there will always be bad cops, they are human and everybody has their own personalities.

But I have found that regardless of who you are dealing with, being polite and courteous is always better then being rude. Doesn't matter if it's a scale house, checkpoints, DOT, or shipper/receiver. Being polite and courteous may not actually help, but it certainly wont make things worse. "Treat others the way you expect them to treat you"

First thing I always say when seeing them is "Good morning/afternoon, how are you?". It always seems to catch them off guard and they hesitate before responding. They aren't expecting somebody to show them a good attitude so it's like it puts them in a momentary state of bewilderment removing any bad feelings they may be having. I'll even try to make small talk with a DOT officer while he's inspecting my truck, like asking him how long he's been doing the job, if he enjoys it, and what it's like living in the area. Usually do get them happily talking about stuff and we end up chatting about our experiences in the industry or other things while he is inspecting. (not actually a ploy, I genuinely do want to learn about other areas since I've lived in south east PA all my life and would love to move to the midwest).

Even officers if you do something wrong. I got pulled over in Oklahoma for speeding (simple mistake, sped back up after leaving a small town but the limit didn't go back up for another mile or so), pulled into a parking lot for him, and was sitting in the front of his patrol car with him while he was working and we were chatting for a good 20 mins. Ended up not getting a ticket or even a warning.
