    Made my username when I was heated. And at least I’m honest. Doesn’t make me irrational. Sigh… this was a colossal waste of time lol

    You blamed your customer. You blamed California. You blamed this forum. Next, it’s religion and politics.

    No one is saying you didn’t accept fault what folks are stating is that some folks including @FozzyNOK gave good advice to get out and look you took offense to that..there was nothing wrong with that advice..frankly after 25yrs out here, i still get out and look when necessary as many other veteran drivers do still..

    I’ve read many posts on here. They’re all the same. One guy says something another doesn’t like it ends in a im better than you brawl. For people who say, they look for each other because we should all care about the next truck driver it sure doesn’t seem like it. That’s my constructive criticism.

    You came on here asking for ways to get out of responsibility for your actions. That’s dishonest. I know you paid for a new bumper yourself, which is great, but you still hit the object, and it was preventable. And it wasn’t even that big of a deal, just move on! I’ve had plenty of mishaps in my years as well. I learned from them and moved on.

    How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? If you’re over 60. That answers everything I need to know.

    Simply looks like it’s everyone elses fault even the state troopers….key to being a professional is accepting responsibility and such…not one of us perfect out here and we’ve had our share of mishaps, but take responsibility and grow from it..

    Many think I am a 12 yr old on my mom’s computer.
    What if I get you feedback from a driver several years younger than you…would you listen to him?

    @D.Tibbitt what are your thoughts?
