Let's see ... a driver to your left is signaling/ moving toward your lane, so you blow your horn, forcing your way into the right lane ... why? Not your responsibility to start acting like a jackwad because a four wheeler is doing so.
Now, let me understand, you hit a pothole and blew a tire and bent a rim. In a truck stop? In a truck stop! One has to be going pretty fast to blow a tire in a pot hole, much less bend a rim ... And fast enough and unobservant enough to not see said pothole.
And god knows what actually happened in Kentucky.
So who wants to hire this "great" driver? -
With what I have witness from roadrunner trucks flying through parking lots and princess-parking in them, I'm not surprised. As for blowing a tire and bending the rim in a parking lot it sounds like the poster ran over a fixed object or one hell of a nasty pothole at a good rate of speed for that to happen. There is a way to prevent that... it's called SLOWING DOWN.
scottied67 Thanks this. -
I was leased to them for a short time around 1990, and it was a worthless outfit then. Guess they haven't changed any.

No surprises here. A cheap, cut-rate outfit if there ever was one.

Okay. We get it now. You're totally without blame or fault. Good to know.

so if you can see this at 4 am while its still dark while looking to your left to make sure you have the right of way to proceed out of the exit safely and you are making a right to exit why would i be looking a the pavement when it clearly reads EXIT HERE, I couldn't see the dam hole. Many other tire marks where there so I'm a summing plenty truckers have came across this same pothole but by the time i came acoss it more damage was done to the hole causing my truck to go straight because i thought i dropped off on a full side walk or something, I got out my truck to make sure it was an exit area and come to see this dern pothole was definitely unexpected

By the way I said I was coming to a construction site on I-20 headed to the exit towards Jasper AL in Birmingham AL, while two drivers came around my truck on the right and got in front of my truck. And when they came around my truck they were cutting on the edge of the off ramp where the road meets the medium and cons where there so technically they were violating traffic in the first place. The left hand lane or middle lane traffic was letting us over because the sign indicated for us to move into the next lane and a driver in the middle lane was nice enough to let us over, but the two drivers that got in front of me was not responding either because they couldn't see them let us over or because they were not paying attention, or because of the work going on in front of us not sure. Yes, I blew my horn to grab their attention and the driver in front of me gets upset because I blew my horn. Then she proceeded not to move her vehicle over to the next lane. I move over once the lady in front of her move over. After I got into the middle lane or move to my left, she was still sitting there and couldn't get over because as I got over, I move up on the side of her vehicle and this would mean she now has to wait for someone else to let her into traffic. She takes my truck number, and after she finally gets over, she's now two or three cars ahead of me and waves her phones at me. I would guess like many other drivers that have experienced the same from other four wheelers where they take your truck number and call your company and make false statements, that's what she was doing. The lady drove off three cars in front of me and went the opposite way. Mind you the police was only a few feet away from us in the construction site, that you could only go less than 5 miles in ok. If I hit a moving vehicle that was two to three cars ahead of me waving their phone out the window I'm as magical as I thought I was.Last edited: May 26, 2017

Actually I've been in that spot, right turn on to Thompson to get back to I10 ... And that's not a pothole. You dropped your left steer off the driveway and ran it over the curb ... but, you said it yourself you weren't watching the pavement.

Roadrunner did ruin M. Bruenger out of Wichita. Took a good family owned company and ran it into the ground.
I'm actually sad whenever I see a R&M truck pulling a M. Bruenger trailer. At least they use just the Bruenger name on them.
I know we won't see M. Bruenger back though.
There are a few good Roadrunner tricks out here. Can't say what kind of money they make though.
For the OP: Do you take responsibility for your actions? Doesn't seem like it to me. That was one of the first things I learned in life. You are responsible for your actions. I've had a run in with the safety director from Cudahy, he didn't strike me as someone who wouldn't take any crap.
Anyway, rant over. Later.
