    [QUOTE="semi" retired;4481195]Did anybody get the name of the trucking company the guy from Wisconsin drove for?[/QUOTE]

    I've searched all over, and so far, none of the papers/media has mentioned the company name.
    However it does show his wife, Irene A. Kramer of Sparta, Wi, was a passenger in the truck.

    Terrible tragedy. Prayers to her & family.

    I try to stay back and away from 4 wheelers. I'll think to myself that there could be kids riding in it and i sure wouldn't want to hurt any of them.

    Agree there 100%, 'olhand. Any driver that gets 'annoyed' at the 'theft' and tries to close the door on the 4-wheeler's toes... is askin for trouble.
    Yep, just ease off the fuel if ya see 'em tryin to take the space and allow everybody some room. Cheaper/safer for sure. But he still stole it. ;)

    Yes...I see that all the time. The bulk of the time, I see it when truckers are camped out in the middle or passing lanes. If you get in the right lane...other than to pass...that's less of an issue.

    Unless you're a complete fool and are so close to the vehicle ahead that there isn't room for a smart car between you someone will pull in front. Trying to prevent it is a battle you can't win but will surely lose eventually.

    I prefer to leave lots of room and let the lane hoppers do their thing.
