Question for dump truck drivers

And my personal favorite is when it's all stacked up waiting to get off an exit and they try to cut in at the front of the line instead of waiting like everybody else. I won't let them in if they try it to me. Miss the exit oh well. Have some patience and respect like a driver should have

People have hated being behind a dump truck since the beginning of dirt itself. What many don't realize, is they encounter that truck only for a short time, but that truck had been over that route 15 times,,so far, it's incredibly boring. "Burning circles", it's called, and it has it's pluses and minuses. They are generally overloaded and have poor maintenance. Since their local operation, they rarely are inspected. It used to be, dump trucks were operated by "working" alcoholics and drug users. It's a lonely, repetitive job. If they don't drink on the job, you can bet where their 4 wheeler will be parked at 3:35pm. More than once, I saw beer cans fall out of an opening door of a dump truck. With testing today, I think it's more these drivers are just pixxed off, or distracted by their phones, even though prohibited, they still use them, it's a boredom killer and are prone to make more mistakes. My advice? Get away from a dump truck as soon as you can,,,,

There is nothing wrong with driving a dump truck if that’s what a guy wants to do. It’s a thankless job but like everything else, they are a necessity to keep the world spinning. I get all that... but maybe it wouldn’t be so thankless if the drivers would show a bit of class and have some respect for themselves and others.

I don’t mean to lump all of them together as a bunch of degenerates. I know there are plenty of good ones out there.
