Roehl Driver Check In

Yes sir, over the bridge that almost killed me two weeks ago.
Rules on bridge (if I remember correctly) 25mph limit when loaded, stay in R lane & 200ft between trucks, no passing, ever. So as I'm halfway down the other side "super trucker" comes flying over the top at 60+ mph. I'm thinking is he crazy? Now he's couple hundred yards behind me and not moving over because of cars & pickups in the hammer lane. Still picking up speed doing 70mph and I'm thinking no way he misses all of us. Right before he rear ends me he yanks it hard left cutting off a pickup, missing me by a few feet (as my heart skips several beats) and blows my doors off. I'm still at 25-30 mph and he's doing 70. I'm yelling on the cb 'multiple expletives' but he's just gone. That bridge is crazy enough without that crap. Never saw him pulled over so he got away with it as well.

 

I hear ya. But if your a quick learner and you can drive you'd be better off then said trainer who still can't shift or back

 

Hope so. Cause the CDL schools don't teach any alley docking. Just straight back. And where I live very minimal city/traffic driving. Mainly just open highway. We had good trainers but way to many students:trainer ratio

 

Van. I thought about flat. But thought I should focus on my driving before worrying about secure not/trapping ect

 

At Gary tonight, delivering bundles of steel rods from St. Paul at 0700 Friday a few miles away in Hammond. This place is like Grand Central tonight, holy cow. And they didn't have the parking lot lights turned on for some reason (?), so parking the truck was like driving in a dust storm.
