    Let me first say I been truckin since 78, and I aint never seen a worse bunch of drivers than are out on the roads today. You guys need a courtesy course in drivin, and all these young buck greenhorns think since they drivin 80,000 lbs down the road, they can cut off little 2000 lb cars like it aint no big deal. Yall know how ya git paid, yall need to slow down, dang ol nearly ran me and my wife off the road, my wife nearly had a heart attack, and yall just dont care. Im sick of it, givin truckers a worse name daily! Stick to the speed limit, stay to the right. It aint that hard, you little turds need to respect the family in the car, dang it there are kids in there! Yall wanna talk about it? Yall wanna know? Get it through your thick heads that you dont cut off smaller vehicles, do the speed limits, respect your owners.

    You should have been with me at the Loves in N Little Rock yesterday.

    I don't think I've ever witnessed such rudeness, unprofessional, and just plain dumb ### drivers in my days.

    Too many people, in too big a hurry. And no place they really need to be, anytime soon.

    I agree, they are pretty treacherous out there, but so are the cars. It's a two way street, unfortunately some of the 4 wheelers don't understand and some of the big trucks just don't care. I absolutely hate when I look in my rear view and see nothing but grill...or even better...those teeth that go on the grill, absolutely hate that grill cover! I do the speed limit or about 5 over, if I come up on a truck I go to the left, pass it, make sure I can see it in my rear view mirror, then signal to come back. I don't know what is such a hard concept about that.
    I really don't know how you all drive on a daily basis with all the different factors of driving out there. Bless you all for what you do, I know I wouldn't be able to do it, heck I have issues in my car lol.
