You said if you we in person you could present a business card--so I ask again--who are you--seattle pi isonline with named reports/corresponders/bloggers--so why can't you tell us who you are--THEN we can go to the website--and see what you have published(or Ill give you this)what their managing editor has let you publish--and Ill be happy to talk to you
IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL REPORTER--YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST!

Why do cops turn to druggies to bust druggies? Go to the source. Easiest way!


If so concerned, why don't you let the law handle it? You want to write about a few truckers when there are hundreds of bad four wheelers doing the same thing day in and day out. That doesn't interest you?

Anyone can write about the situation with anonymity. The fact you are trying to identify them sounds like you are looking for retribution through your little online paper. One cut you off or something. This is the longest case of road rage I ever heard of, lol.

The problem is when you write about a few bad apples, everyone automatically classifies all truckers like that. Why not write about the truckers that stop and help motorist or help in disasterous events. Write about all the free hours we work and how we are exempt from many labor laws. We could use some positive light for a change.

If these guys regularly drive like that, they will be caught. With a reckless driving ticket they won't be driving for a long, long time.

A good reporter writes about interest instead of personal problems. I can't believe you are an investigative reporter and can't identify a truck with all kinds of identifying numbers all over it. I'm a dumb ol' country hick and can identify any truck out there. Google will tell you all you need. First you figure out the number thing. Then you find the website that you plug the numbers in. Then you will have the owners name address, phone number, and much more info.

 

NOT giving up a CV, a CV contains WAY too much information just to drop it all over the 'net. Demopolis, I, too have a journalism background, but have been a river for several years, recently (last week) changing back into expert witness work.

I'll help with info as I can, but the covert statement, combined with rowdy, unlawful driving doesn't make any sense and has likely sent a red flag flying for professionals here who know that if someone was doing something under the table (or radar), the last thing you'd do is draw attention to yourself.

PM me if you like.

 

Remember, your mouth got you in trouble once already!

 

No matter.... I'm not driving anymore... at least for now. I'll never say "never".

 

Seattle is incredibly tough to deal with, with strangley-angled streets, limited access back to the 5 from the port area, and of course, a gillion trucks trying to do the same thing you are - not much difference, though, than any older city with small streets, dated geography as far as street layout, and a lot of shipping business.

My wife's family lives in Chehalis/Napavine, her mom is in Coeur D'Alene, and I've been all over Seattle/Tacoma.

 

but how do you know the logo's were fake--did you happen to see a license plate?
that would help a bit in narrowing down where the companies are from to a degree--but a lot of companies are domociled in a different location as to where the plates are from
i have in the past hauled trailers that didnt have the company name on them--but who he hauled for--ie the corporate name of producer of the goods--the truck company name was only on the truck--we had probabely at least a dozen different manafacturers names on the trailer--some were well known--others not as well known--and then again our plates were from an entirely different part of the country
