    Especially when they're pulling Walmart trailers north of the I5/99 split on I-5. I can understand it for a bit on the 99 because the right lane is probably like driving over craters on the moon .But on the 5, get in the right lane AND STAY THERE!!!! There's no reason I should be looking at 20+ cars and trucks waiting to pass you because you can't pass a heavy on a slight incline at 55 mph unless you are oblivious or incompetent.

    The lot was less than half full when he hit the car hauler, plus he had plenty of room to swing wide to miss the car hauler.

    I know. Nice pictures, BTW. But when I pulled through there a few months back, it was fuller than redneck after a visit to the Carolina ribs buffet

    This substantiates my theory that the lot could be nearly empty,you could be parked all by your lonesome and yet somehow or another a CRE,Swift or Werner (the usual suspects) has to park(or attempt to park) next to you-with a strong possibility that damage may occur!!

    Like flies being attracted to ****!!!

    Funny, I had it the other way around. Park my Swift rig in the middle of a mostly empty lot, "real" drivers almost back into me. One time, I almost drained my secondary air tank with the air horn, and only releasing the brakes and jamming it into reverse saved me from the idiot. He would've known WHY my horn was blaring, too, if he'd GOALed even once

    I’ve had one of those too. In particular a step deck driver who almost nailed the Bambi Bumper of my truck because he wasn’t lined up properly. Mind you this was in broad daylight!
     
    Bud A. and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Mercury Blues

    The latest smash hit by the CR England Band.

    If I had no money
    I tell you what I'd do
    I'd hitch a ride to SLC
    And spend a month or two

    They would teach me how to log
    And how to tie down a load
    And even how to find a mate
    When I get out on the road

    Soon I be sayin' hey there Swift Girl
    You look so fine
    Cruisin up The Cabbage
    In that beat up 49'

    The bumper is also compromised. Among other things.

    That would be a totaled car, unable to be tendered for sale retail.

    I had a truck tear off my front end with me riding the wreck in the bunk.

    That was a bad phone call to the boss.

    Hey boss.

    Unit number? such a such whats up?

    Wrecked.

    OMFG what did you...

    Save it another truck tore off front in in truckstop getting out of his spot and running off with it.

    !

    When the smoke cleared on that one I never saw that tractor again. And the load? Essentially tossed into the trash.
