Rocks thrown up ruins my weekend!!

A bull hauler overtakes me going over the double yellow on the US-385 between Vega and Channing TX. First I felt the sensation of sand pelting the truck and then my drivers side window shatters in the middle of the bull hauler passing. Not sure if it was lack of mudflaps or what, but I'm waiting to get another window put in before resuming with normal schedule. If it was Summer, I would've just rolled with it and cleaned the glass up for my 4-5 days out. But it's January and I hate cold.



I posted these on reddit and all I got in return was either bull hauler-erratic driving apologists, or people making fun of the trucks cleanliness.

 

Typical condescending answer I was running into in other spots I was posting this. Just more "Shut up and deal with it". I was on track to get my usual 3-4 loads done this week and I'm just placing blame on the bull-hauler for being a bull hauler and perhaps the people that came up with speed governors. Since they're not here to defend their actions, they can all go sit on some radioactive waste drums that are leaking.

And before you're saying I need to get help or some other feel-good thing, I've been doing that for the past 20 years and nothing helps. I learned to live with depression and ride it out. But then things like this happen to hamper my work week to where I can't even run and I'm just back in a deeper pit. I've been driving for twelve years all together and never learned to deal with it. I just try to roll with it and hope my brain can numb it.

 

And it wasn't even on a dirt road. Someone would say "tRy AnOTher cArEer". But that's another thread on another sub. Anywho, I'm just going to sit at home and try to tidy things up. Stay away from people as usual. Get the window fixed and just cross fingers it doesn't happen again. But yeah, that's life in these rural backwaters and country-bumpkin roads. Maybe it's time to move to a larger city.

 

Cuss, wait, and get it fixed. The glass people don't work on weekends. Bankers hours employees will be the downfall of us all.
