    That would be hugely helpful. Maybe they’ll allow it since you’re referring someone.

    Would a moderator or admin help a brother out and initiate a PM between our accounts?

    On Monday I was driving (in my pickup truck) S. on I-5 through Eugene, OR . This A-Hole trucker, driving a newer FL pulling a 53' dry van with CA plates, comes weaving in and out of the slow and fast lanes passing everyone like a bat out of Hades. 55 mph zone for trucks, he was doing at least 75 mph. Hanging out in the fast lane with his blinker on, making really dangerous moves.

    I thought about calling his company and reporting him. The name of the company on the truck is:
    SAHIB EXpress, he was in truck #105.
    USDOT 3391139
    MC Number 1089888

    These are the kind of drivers that give truckers a bad reputation in this industry.

    Good thing you didn't have an accident with him or he would've come out of the truck with his sword.

    Everything you described above is what's wrong with the industry and there's more and more of it every day. It comes down from Canada, primarily on the west coast, and is making it's way south and east. I see TONS of this on i80 and i40 on the western half. Honestly, when I'm over in the east I see nice clean trucks from Canada with respectful drivers, for the most part.

    Yep, I still don't know what those tassels are (and what they mean) that hang off the mirrors and inside of the windshield. This guy had one hanging down on the drivers side windshield.

    That's the Middle Eastern version of the ball sack that bull racks sometimes have hanging from the back of their trailers. They're furrier over in the Middle East. o_O

    Furry balls sacks? Never would've guessed that. Are ball sacks considered sacred and protective in India?

    I'll just leave this here. If you can translate it it should tell you everything you need to know.



    I actually have no problem with these guys, most of em. Some of them are passionate and good, even speak and drive well. They are chasing their version of the American dream.

    Others.....not so much, as post #4805 describes.
     
    dwells40, mladen86 and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    Same here. The family that owns the local gas station is from India. They came over here to assimilate and be Americans. Their words, "baseball, Apple pie and cowboy boots". They love this country more than some natural born citizens do, and sure as #### didn't vote for bozo

    Some don't but most love this place compared to where they came from and don't want it to end up like the places they ran from
