Left Lane Closed Ahead-- JCT Will Not Be Denied

No CB, in a rental truck that has CB antennas but I can't find any CB jacks inside the cab.

 

The title of the thread is "Will Not Be Denied". "Wouldn't be denied" would indicate JCT and I were playing a game of trucking football and I would have been trying to prevent him or deny him from scoring a lane closure pass touchdown.

Instead I named it "Will Not...." so that the title imagines what the JCT driver is thinking; his mindset, if you will. I imagine this driver has always "won" in life,

At 15 on the junior varsity football team, one crisp fall Friday night, he managed to score two touchdowns in one game. This led to a date and three week relationship with the prom queen's best friend." Man, she had some soft thighs, if only I had used some defensive driving techniques that night, man that would have been glorious." he reminisced.
Then in the summer he started his first job at the local fast food establishment, dropping out of school six months before graduation to work full time. At age 20 he finally got his GED so he could move up to assistant manager. Having been stuck in that position for 12 years became a truck driver. "How hard can it be?, he asked himself, "there are so many inefficiencies out here to exploit like speed limits and work zones, if I speed through those areas i can make more money and won't my old bosses at Kentucky Mcfried Taco King back home be jealous of me then..." \\

One day out driving the big truck this driver discovers a neat little trick. Get up next to another big truck and fake/veer into them and they magically back off and let me in. Wow, he could make up a lot of time by doing this 10-12 times a day to get in front of other big trucks. Especially those pesky trucks doing the exact legal speed limit.

 

You had me at shemale

 

Agreed. I imagine this guy has gotten away with this soooo many times its de rigeur for him. Yes, he's sat through 7 different company orientations over his career and slept through all the safety videos-- "I don't need to see this stuff I know how to do it".
