    The problem is, work is sometimes gullible. It's not even possible to put the wrong fuel in. The only stuff we have access to is diesel. At least the receipts list the right product.

    Morons who fly through parking lots. I'd like to put a mannequin on a skateboard and spend the day pushing it out in front of those idiots.

    That sounds like the makings of a good YouTube video.

    My biggest peeve is noise!
    Why must some truckers idle all night long in good weather?
    Reefers!...I hate em
    My biggest struggle is to find a nice, quiet, peaceful place to sleep at night.

    My biggest pet peeve is 4 wheelers who think 35 mph is an acceptable merging speed!

    I've noticed that myself. There seems to be some sort of prejudice toward "freight haulers" by everybody else on the road. I never understood this, since there's only two things you can haul commercially and get paid for it, and that's freight or people. Everybody sure hates the LTL guys. It must be jealousy because of how much money we make.:lol:

    A truck passing me turns on their right turn signal before their cab has passed my cab.


    RV drivers ALL over the road.


    RV drivers towing a car that are over the center line.


    Where I am currently working at is listening to Union drivers that have NEVER slept in a sleeper truck complain about being gone from home for more than 1 10 hour break.


    Being tailgated by another truck.


    Having a car pass me doing 65mph when my truck governor is set at 64 in a 75MPH zone.


    Having a car pass me on the interstate and then slow down when they come back into my lane for no known reason.


    Having a truck pass me that is over the center line.

    People parking their cars in truck parking.


    U-Haul, Ryder, Budget or any other rental truck towing a car and the car is over the center line then they cut back into the right lane without giving any space between my vehicle and theirs.


    Truckers that throw their trash bags or piss bottles on the ground when there are trash cans around.


    A car gets onto the interstate in a 75 mph zone doing 55mph causing me to slow down then accelerating up to 75 once I am slowed down.


    Car drivers that pull into a truck stop and then act pissed off at trucks in the truck stop.
