I’d say respect was lost when the following happened (in no particular order):
Drivers leaving pee bottled and #### bags in parking lots at Walmart as well as shoppers and receivers
Drivers disregarding traffic signals and signs. Think of the foreigner in Colorado who killed all those people on I-70 because he “didn’t understand the sign” that leads people to think truckers can’t read
Drivers wearing flip flops, adidas pants and chains bathing into shipping and receiving offices talking to customers like they own the place and acting rude. Thanks Illinois white Volvo drivers!
Drivers who weave in and out of traffic with no signal driving like idiots because they’re in a hurry
Drivers who try to do a u turn on a 2 lane road.
those are just a few reasons I can come up with lol. Some drivers are just rude people and deserve the bad reputation. Having said that, a large majority of the fellow drivers I’ve met over the course of my career are pretty decent, hard working people just out to make a living. A lot of the bad reputation is unwarranted but try telling that to the soccer mom driving 90mph in her Yukon Denali with a Jesus fish and Jesus saves bumper stickers with her head in her phone as she’s texting while she drives.650cat425 Thanks this. -
