    "About the 5th guy I've done that to"

    Just another entitled ##### that throws his trash along the highway. What an idiot. Worse than the Swift driver.

    Funny how there is no video of the Swift driver blocking the scale, or how it affected that driver.

    Think of how bad his truck must smell if he’s using household garbage bags in the cab.

    To play devils advocate. In most cases the standard 13 gallon bags are a lot cheaper then the 2 4 or 8 gallon bags with how often they go on sale vs the smaller ones. and id be lieing if i said my little bathroom/office 4 gallon trash can hasnt been lined with a 13 gallon more then once just because when you can get them for less then a penny a pop.....why not?.....that said if your so much of a pig your entirely filling a 13 gallon.every day or two or keeping it till its totally full or even overflowing....eww

    I wasn’t judging the size, the one in the video appeared to have some weight to it. Lol

    The deodorizers they put in some of those bags smell kinda funky, and i’ve noticed that mixed with certain things can get down right rank.

    Also: Don't block....or park on top of...the fuel drops (usually very clearly marked off/labelled)!!! :mad: :angry5:

    Otherwise -- you will probably be asked to move while doing your break/10-hour layover. :pain10: :violent1:
