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

Being in line at the pilot for fuel with the light on just to be told to drive 20 miles down the road to loves for fuel....

 

Air dryer purge valves that go off every 10 seconds. Seriously it's ####### annoying, I can't sleep, fix your ####.

 

Not being to get a bath as often as I do at home, and any vehicles with halogen headlights. Other than that, fog and snow.

 

You're going to have to ignore my sig for this one...

Flippin the hood up, gettin up on the tires, & scrubbing that windshield spotless,
but only moments later and every single time...
the "dead-center" area where you always focus thru, is exactly where that first bug hits!

 

Piss jugs. Dirty restrooms. Piss on toilet seats. Weirdo truck drivers

 

Why is that?? Some cruel joke nature plays on us? And its always a big fat juicey one and only 5minutes down the line lol

 

How people merging onto the interstate think that they have the right away and cause havoc. - Trying to get out of a truck stop and getting stuck behind another driver thats creeping along at .5 mph because he's too lazy to shift out of 3rd gear. - Being asked for a tip on a to go order. - Slow security guards that cause a 5 mile backup checking trucks in at a shippers/receivers and then marking you late even though you got there an hour early. - 3 cashier's on duty at a truck stop and ony one working. - New drivers that crank the landing gear all the way down when dropping. - Drivers that drag along until you try to go around them and then they want to get into a race. - Walking zigzag through a Petro or TA because all the parking spaces are angled. - Cops that pull people over during rush hour and cause a 10 mile backup. - Trucks parked next to the CAT idling so that you can't hear or be heard. - The list can go on and on.

 

Truckers and 4-wheelers who can plainly see the hazmat placards on my truck and still have a DEFCON-1 level tantrum because I stopped for a railroad crossing. This happens around three times a week.

Second to that would be other truckers who also have hazmat placards following-up their horn blasts with a quick dart to the left before furiously grabbing gears over the tracks.



I can't say I'm really happy with people who anonymously call my workplace to report made-up nonsense like, "I just watched one of your drivers fuel up with unleaded." I have reason to believe these are the same people who make passes at women in the fuel aisle with all the finesse and subtle charm of Bamm-Bamm from the Flintstones.

 

Drivers that pee in the parking lots instead of walking their lazy butts into the restroom. How bad can a parking lot smell? Just check out a truck stop to find out. Or the Monteagle brake check area in summer.

 

Yanno, I've put unleaded in my tanks too many times to count...
it's called DIESEL. And it's "unleaded" (no lead).
