    This is why guns in a truck isn't a good idea.

    But seriously, THIS is how you act at CUSTOMER!!!??? Unfreaking believable.

    I'm not a big fan of the general population having guns period because they can't even handle cars let alone guns. And that includes truckers; see too many of them driving their rigs like they're four wheelers.

    Stuff like this is why I will not share a truck with a know-it-all (about nothing), senile nasty old bat, bipolar, drunk, bully or any combination of those. I don't care how "senior" you are to me. You drop a hard line, demand that I break laws or otherwise operate stupidly and you're going to hoof it on the first offense.

    I'm with you 100% on this one. Your describing a supertrucker. Most of these guys only drive alone because they can't get along with anybody else. However in the unfortunate circumstance your stuck with one most likely they will be the first seat/lead driver and if anybody hoofs it it will be you. It sucks but its just the way it is. However this is a good thing. Because if enough people get off of supertrucker macks truck at some point the company will get tired of it and fire Mack.

    I already had that situation this year and I was not the one that was fired. Previously, I was lead driver and should never have put up with that nonsense even if I wasn't. I made it very clear when I got back that I will not have my trust abused like that again. It turned out he had been partnered with three drivers prior to me and acted like a fool with them, too. If they wanted to keep him, they should have shifted him to warehouse instead of putting him on another truck.
