Message:: [QUOTE="reddove, post: 4090965, member: 104527"]06/23/14-Pipe Ranger:They still have us picking up pipe from this port. The port must of got the mother load today. The port enterance was back up 20 trucks deep around 2 PM. Luckily we don't have to wait in line. Because I heard so many different things from different drivers, I asked my dispatcher how was I getting paid by hours or by load. I was told they have to check. Earlier today I was leaving the Cosignee and I had to make a right turn onto the frontage road. The turn was tighter than I thought, so I backed up to move over to the far left so I'll have more room to turn. Another E.W. Driver, a O/O, decided he couldn't wait for me to complete my turn. So he tried to go around. LOL. I was thinking, "He is not going to make that turn unless he goes in the grass." Guess what happened? I had to honk my horn like a mad person before he struck my truck. I couldn't back up anymore without hitting a stack of pipes. So after sitting there for 8 mintues he went over the curb and into the grass to get around me. If he would of waited for me to finish my turn (which took like 30 seconds) he'd save 7:30 mintues. People don't have patience anymore.[/QUOTE]
