    Why did you specify speed after you noted illegal drugs?

    Is there legal speed? If it were legal, would you take it then?

    Is there something about your former drug use that you'd like to share with the forum?

    Do you have a kitty in your Toyota?

    The blinding will lead to other things.

    We know you are there. And probably what you are fixing to do if you did exhibit driving behavior that is not like everyone else. That gets me into pre collision procedures.

    The 18 wheelers are big, fast and really something considering. They are what we are when done right. It is a thing of precision when you get across the USA in any weather to be somewhere within 10 minutes of a appointment when people cannot get across town to a doctor in time.

    It does not take much to get a CDL and have at it if you like trucks so much. It will strip the Good and bad and ugly out of those who don't understand trucking telling you things that are not good such as flashing brights.

    When possible and if necessary you will find the American Trucker to be some of the best people when you are in some difficulty. And maybe some of the worst if you did something not smart. Like the brights.

    Im not going to chew on your brights all night. Some of truckers when I was alive on the road a long time ago used 3 million watt sunbeams back at you. Preferably when you are alone and nothing that will truly kill you or some other innocent 20 families running for the city early before sunrise.

    It's worse when I have a million in narcotics in that box and you zip out from where Ive been eyeballing you for a while. In a high performance vehicle too. Possible threat? Im already processing the situation on two levels now at that point.

    I would hate it. For any misunderstandings.

    Perhaps I should bring something to your attention. You are posting on a website BY truckers, FOR truckers, which was FOUNDED by a trucker.

    Your decision to now decide to insult us where we live will assuredly irritate the hell out of a significant portion of this community.

    Not to mention a decision to put him on a list. The use of old tired school yard taunts based on obsolete mechanisms of overcompensating is truly unnecessary when you are in 40 ton rolling. It's busy enough in there. I happen to have a older larger personal vehicle which on one hand is a easy fix when money buys parts and a skilled mechanic time. And one that will carry me long everyone is choking on government regulated and speed limited cars that might kill them in a minute Christine style.

    //TEASING... with a half spoon of medicine. I'll be good...

    exactly..i have bought/owned 3 pick up trucks. they were all 2 WD. i had no need for a 4x4. i actually used my trucks as "grocery getters" and other non-heavy trucking related errands about my home.

    each truck i owned got the royal treatment in good gasoline (over very cheap) regular oil changes, in fact, all synthetics, regular PM services, regular washings AND waxing/polishings.

    i also NEVER let anyone use my trucks (except for my kids/wife) and i NEVER worked my trucks.

    they were all at one time, my "pride and joys", and i wish i had them all back again

    1980 NEW chevy c-10 victory red stepside, no power nuffin, 3 on the tree, inline 6 cyl

    1986 NEW chevy c-10 fleetside, dark blue, automatic, power steering, power brakes, 305 V-8

    1994 NEW ford ranger V-6, loaded (XLT)

    I was just saying what I observed. Obviously not everyone who drives a pickup is like that

    Why are you comparing professional semi drivers to pickup drivers? Also you were saying truckers do meth? LOL

    Most of the posts from new ones are insulting. They load up on YouTube videos and take what those idiots say as gospel, join TTR and flood the forum with stupid questions that have to do with everything but driving. They look at you and me and figure if us two idiots can do it, their superior intellect will allow them to easily beat the best drivers out there.

    “Oh, I’m not worried. I am a genius. I’m just fat and lazy and trucking is just sitting there holding a steering wheel. I’ve been practicing trucking on my video game and right before I start school, I’m even going to stay overnight in a Holiday Inn!
