    Say it aint so...

    Seriously, I know that but it's pretty easy to tell the difference between an O/O and a company truck if you know what to look for.
    There are some small fleets that might be hard to tell the difference but for the most part it's easy.


    WOW! You've been to the future?:biggrin_2559:

    I know what oo are as well. I have seen a couple of them wandering around too. Multi tasking, texting, writing, looking at maps, eating, surfing the net, posting on this forum, etc.

    Everyone is guilty of it. I know I am not perfect.

    I have seen that too...



    Not all of us are guilty of it...I don't eat when I'm driving, Nor do I send or recieve texts while I'm driving, Nor do I use a computer when I'm driving Nor do I look at a map when I'm driving...Ever!

    I talk on the phone while I'm driving and have been doing so since the mid eighties without incident...In my opinion if you're too stupid to talk on the phone while driving, You're too stupid to be driving a truck!

    I may snack on the road. I do not text. I do not use the computer.

    I sneeze and close my eyes when that happens. Sometimes sneeze more than once. I have been to accidents where they had sneezing fits.

    I imagine from your posts that you look at the scenery. I have seen accidents from that as well.

    Like I said, no one is perfect.

    Are you serious?

    I know from previous conversations with you that you'll occasionally resort to this kind of foolishness to attempt to make whatever point you think you're trying to make...But seriously folks!

    So....To your way of thinking, We all have to stare intently at the lane ahead of us or in the mirrors at all times?

    OH Wait! We can't even look in the mirrors lest we crash and burn during the time that we took our concentration off of the lane in front of us!

    GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

    That is the sorriest line of reasoning I have encountered in a long time!

    Sorry you feel this way.

    My point is simple.

    You are acting like you are perfect and others are stupid. It is the way of most of your posts.

    And I simply stated I know I am not perfect. So what?

    You say I am making a foolish statement?

    I will just have to remember you are perfect and probably can walk on water.

    This is the part of the post that I found to be too ridiculous to take seriously...
