    If the fuel island isnt bad enough, what about the A-Hole that just got loaded or unloaded and is sitting in the only avail. dock getting his paperwork up to date and planning is route while 2 trucks are waiting for him to move! Take your time dude, your the only one here we can wait for you.

    i agree mark, thats another bad one, but the fuel island is more often, i just wish i had the go-nads to pull someones 5th wheel pin, or cut the air lines, or put a dime inbetween the gladhands, but with the way cops and people are today, i dont really think its worth it to tamper with someones equipment,
    however, to play a prank on a fellow driver im all for!, we do it sometimes, nothing serious, just small things, and only just a few of us that are friends do it, when we see ones truck parked someplace...

    If he is loaded what makes you think he can crank it up? You got a couple hours to wait on a wrecker? What if someone walking by gets hurt or maimed? Is it still funny to watch???

    Also if he breaks airlines how long will that take? What if a employee is there filling up the bucket with windshield wash or bagging the trash. Do you have any concern for their safety or are you so blinded with rage at the truck in front of you that you don't care?
     
    DirtySideDown and MUSTANGGT Thank this.

    i agree, pulling somebodys 5th wheel release is way out of line no matter what they did to piss you off

    dangerous and has the potential to damage some equipment

    what if hes loaded heavy and when the landing gear hits the ground it buckles or breaks, ive seen it happen
     
    DirtySideDown Thanks this.

    This is why people always say he is just a dumb truck driver. Drivers prove it. Guy gets ticked off, because another truck driver delays him. What is the solution? Sabatoge the vehicle so you get delayed longer....:biggrin_2556:
