    Yeah. People who are not familiar with the rules of on ramp merging.
    No big deal, frankly.
    That's every day for me

    Well the thing that pisses me off is i called my maintenance department , i told them i could call a road medic to come get me some new tires... no no no , we will do it for you.. Ok whatever... they left me high and dry out here , ijust called and they never set it up and they all went home at 5pm. Real dicks i tell ya... u know i could handle the conditions of this job and the low pay but when ya leave me hanging , i just dont put up with that

    No i was merging onto the freeway and he came up behind me and never stopped . Either fell asleep or on drugs or on phone. Expired registration, expired insurance. But somehow still has a license...

    Didnt hurt me at all.. My first thought was the guy was dead because he veered across 5 lanes of traffic and ended up in the median against the guard rail... i called 911 and he was out and walking around ... thank god... felt like i was gonna puke

    Sounds more to me like you're fed up with the company, not trucking in general. I saw that thread... I'm glad you're ok. Kinda makes ya wish you were back in the keystone state, huh? :)

    That’s not so bad. A Little duct tape And you’ll be good to go.

    Could have had someone do this.
