    Texas has no hope in that regard as long as there is DFW.

    I get far more respect from cars than other trucks on the road. Occasionally an old guy will flash his lights when I pass him and Yellow trucks always slow down a few miles per hour when passing them but that's about it. To the OP, drivers pretty much hate each other and the ones that always talk the loudest about getting no respect are usually dressed just as filthy as their trucks. Those comments you posted don't reflect the vast majority of people.

    11 years accident free driving, majority of it in the Houston Metro area...I do share the road, and I have no problem doing it.

    PBS... This is a biased report done by a organization that has their own agenda. Last time I looked that train that was loaded down with containers had no part in the actual delivery of most products

    said "if you're serious". if it was a joke, im not the only one who didnt see it that way (in fact mine is the only post that gave you credit for the possibility). if it was not a joke, then you're last post simply is not true. also confused...is it 11 or 3? or in 11 years are you counting 4 wheelers....(that doesn't count)?
