    This is only because you didn't have 8 million beepers on your truck. It's not your fault at all.

    Just you wait, soon you will have a rig that beeps at you even for a light pole. Then you will really be alert.

    BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

    When safety calls you, just make sure you discuss with this with them. You need more alerting systems and a driver-facing camera so you can be more safe.

    Did you have the seat slammed to the floor ? Anyways……I can’t count how many times I’ve had close calls while switching back to the right lane, even after freeways merging. I’ll look like several times over and over and over again to make sure I’m good. And just to make you feel a little better, I’ve been there….. and learned from it 44 years ago.

    Thank you I spoke with a couple of my Drayage friends who pick up containers from us they have been in similiar situations in there years of experience and learned from it aswell does make me feel better. and my seat wasn’t slammed to the floor but it’s not all the way up makes it difficult to reach brakes and gas pedal if it’s too far up..
