    I was driving west on I74 in IND entered into a construction zone about the same time I had caught up with a Star truck... I also had a flatbed behind me who had been following me from Indy....

    The construction was just resurfacing being done, you know where they grind a few inches of top and then put a thin layer of asphalt down...

    well we was about half way threw and we started to go threw a section where we had barrels on both sides of us (but still one lane thew there) The Star driver seemed to be having a decision issue because he looked as he didn't know where to go(he was moving the steering wheel back an forth) all of a sudden he went right thinking that was the way he needed to go .. well he hit a barrel and it went flying off to the left lol probably ended up in the east bound lanes far as that baby was flying... well he now was on the graded section of road throwing up all kinds of rocks and dust... Again they seemed to have an issue with decision making because they just didn't seem to know what to do... I waited a few and then got onto the CB and said Star you stay over there I AM GOING ON BY, YOU DONE SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME..... I went on by then i heard the flatbed say Star you done scared me as well i am going on by as well so stay over there... (although the flatbed driver didn't say it as nice, far as what i just typed lol)

    Anyways scary stuff man..... It was at night and I keep telling these drivers if you have an issue with night driving then don't be out there...
    I personally like life and I sure don't want you to take it away from me....

    And this is my personal opinion, If you have an issue with decision making such as that driver has then noway you need to be driving a 80,000lbs truck........
