Well another wanna be driver pulling a reefer trailer from the Dallas area decided he didn’t want to go below 70 mph so he tried to go around me on 287 although it was a passing zone at that immediate point there was oncoming traffic coming on and he decided to still pull out into the left lane with Oncoming traffic and decided to run me off the road onto the shoulder partially into the grass nearly missing a guard rail and my dash camera caught it all… according to the Colorado state patrol they’re going to get the video for me later on and they’re going to be looking into the carrier and who was the driver at that point and put warrants out for this guy for reckless driving and hit-and-run . The driver had made statements to me on the radio that he didn’t like being slow down and told me to go F myself and he didn’t give an f about hitting my truck and running me off the road

Yah we get trucks here all the time.

Place that gets trucks all the time.

In reality tho, person owns truck and trailer and decided to use it to move rather than hire movers.

Have heard LTL guys say they get delivers to residential too and it can be just as tight even with a pup with liftgate. View attachment 402775

My advice is … get a dash cam that has an app that you can immediately download videos from it to your phone..i have one and was able again to download it…very inexpensive way to protect yourself out here..

Another reason I got out of LTL. Tired of getting to these kind of addresses and the receiver asking me why Im not in a box truck like everyone else is that delivers to him.......dont miss it at all.

I get that all the time too.

It’s a box, just 48’ long.

If the road is at least a two lane with shoulders I can get in the driveway if it’s straight. Otherwise, it’s “bring your pickup truck out here and get it.”

Risk mgt was able to make contact with the co and they have identified the driver..the company only has 3 drivers…of course the owner tried to deny it was his driver or his truck that did it…but when asked if it was an ideal lease truck and truck # he changed his tune somewhat then when he was informed it was on our driver’s dashcam and that the state patrol has taken a report on it, owner really changed his tune then even more…hope they hang this fool..we need less of these idiots like this outhere.

It would make your jobs a lot easier if the dispatchers you worked with were former drivers so they understood what you deal with on a day to day basis. Are there any dispatchers there that used to drive? Cause that seems like that would help a little at least

Honestly don't know, but I have talked to a number of drivers here, and if they were to try, then we'd probaby hear about it on the news after a half dozen managers were in the ambulance on the way to the hospital to have their teeth removed from their esophagus or a shoe removed from their ### after they had a seriously pissed off driver teach them a thing or two.

Talking about ice. Not sure what possessed me to drive through KC last night after being loaded in edgerton with 15k of twinkies when I could have just parked at the shipper for the night. Oh well it made for a decent mile day..
