    I dunno, maybe being a bad shot..??

    I still think the trucker would have gotten 1000% away with it had he squashed his car into the wall, and they found the gun and the bullet hole.

    What a bizarre story.

    Guy should have done at least 10 years.

    The bullet missed the drivers head by a matter of inches.

    After being shot at? I'm sure your right. Even if the jack wad shooter had died, it seems like an easy self defense plea.

    You sure? I think this is the nitwit in question.,,

    https://www.youtube.com/user/watchmytruck

    As I understand it, he was filming a guy once and the driver thought he was about to be hijacked, so he took evasive action. At that point nitwit decided to shoot at him.

    I remembered his name on youtube because when I first heard of this fool's shenanigans I thought he may have been a former member from here, now banned, who lives not too far from there.

    Once his name came out at the trial though, I realized it wasn't who I thought.

    I always remembered him timing the distance. "Start stop" real fast. And that he liked to pick on JB Hunt

    He may have demanded money then but now a day's a lot of companies hire out for it. Sounds as though the driver took matters a little to far, vigilante style, members 1.. No further comment

    Well, JB Hunt trucks are fairly ubiquitous. That makes them the easiest target.

    I've seen my company in some of his "handiwork", while wondering what exactly this fool does for a living.

    John Volpe (the shooter) may not be the same guy in the videos that mack linked. John Volpe, use to have his GPS mounted on the upper right hand corner of he windshield that he'd point to with is camera to show the speeds of the trucks.

    Whoever the guy is in the videos mack linked us to, it may be someone different.
