A note to 4 wheelers

Yeah but the message is so long and by the time they read it they're bound to run into the back of the trailer because they weren't paying attention.

 

Well they probably were not paying attention in the first place....that usually seems to be the case

 

actually, i pass trucks all the time, now that i can go 68. But i don't get all upset like some drivers (when i was a co. driver and could only do 62) when they get passed, and make it their mission to somehow pass them back. Really dont care who i pass, or if i get passed, then or now. Why is that such a big deal to some drivers? Kinda like if a driver has a big radio or not. I like how a driver wants to 'snap' on another driver, they'll always bring up how bad of a radio you got. Kinda like in grade school when you'd bring up 'yo momma'. Does it really matter? so i can't talk to the moon....so what? i get out 5-7 miles...and thats all i need.

hmmmm....what have i done? http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...uestions-to-general-public-from-truckers.html

and just what 'warning devices' do i have to keep from rolling back? Proper use of the clutch when needed? Guess if you think the clutch is a 'warning device' you are a super trucker. congrats.....

 

attention everyone...................when it is raining, TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS!!!!!!!

 

and don`t forget a special thanks to "Sylvania" for those 40% brighter headlights.

 

Those things need to be illegal. If you run graveyard shift a lot your eyes become fairly sensitive, those things literally hurt like he.ll when you are facing them even on dim, or you have them shining in my face threw my side mirror. I think its a major safety issue, there dims are as bad as most peoples brights. The ones that make me angry are people that dont dim from behind. Oncoming traffic is bad you just look at the fog line for a few seconds and its passed, but the brights from behind are by far the worst. I have my driverside mirror set to where I can see behind me in my perferal vision as I am sure most drivers do. When some one comes up behind you with there brights on, or they get in the hammer lane and just stop at the back of your truck or halfway up without making much forward progress with those spotlights shining straight into your eyes. Nothing you can do about it. Sometimes they will just stay there untill you slow down.

Proper headlight adjustment on a big rig can help ensure oncoming traffic dims there lights as well. I adjusted mine a hair high, so my dims cover a lot more ground, also makes it to where I get full coverage from my brights as well. I get people flashing the ba-jesus out of me if i forget to dim. If they are on bright and not diming down, I put mine back on bright, almost 100% effective.

 

Oh....I see what you did there.

 

I was running down the WK parkway and had one of those trusty bright light ######## behind me and when they passed I flicked on my brights and stayed on there ### ( Far enough back for safe operation) for about the next 15 miles. 100% effective you are right !
