Drivers ... what is your greatest pet peeve about truckin'?

I'd have to say, go #### yourself attitudes from shippers, more often receivers, second is nasty ### pig drivers who deface where we park everyday.

 

I have to agree with all of the above, but what gets me most is being treated like crab by shippers and receivers. Specially, some punk kid in a security uniform in a guard shack or behind the counter at a truck stop. I might not have a college degree, but I have a degree of the school of hard knocks. Also living in multiple countries on different continents have taught me a thing or two. My GF is always amazed when she rides with me. She put it perfect when she told one kid that she had more education in her pinky. I always try to treat people with respect and never judge a book by its cover, but some people don't take long to change my mind either.

 

people not turning their highbeams off... both infront of me and behind me.

 

Oh yeah! DEFINITELY agree there!

 

No respect from anyone

 

The nasty truckers that absolutely must pee on the toilet seat.

 

I have four (in this order):

1). Truck stops
2). Truckers
3). Trucks
and
4). Trucking

 

Drivers that like to take their sweet time in the fuel island,especially the lack of respect drivers that can't read signs that says plz pull forward after fueling.

 

BINGO!!

This is my number one. Happened to me this morning and I never even got a thank you, just got stuck in the lane with no where to go because the idiot refused to speed up to the speed limit.

BUT there are a couple more -

People who put in the wrong bulb in their headlights to see better while not understanding that more light doesn't mean safer driving, especially when other people can't see because of it. This is worst than having bights stabbing my eyes in the mirrors.

Truck drivers who tell you **** *** when you offer them some advice or tell them they have a serious problem. Happened on the way back to the yard tonight, I was behind a truck which seems to have a lot of bad drivers, he had no brake lights or marker lights. I got next to him, signalled to him at a stop light and told him he has no brake lights or markers. I expected an ok or thanks but got a **** *** and he flipped me off. OK I got the point that almost every driver from this local LARGE fleet has an attitude and drives like crap but to do that, the driver deserves a good close inspection.
