I cannot believe there are folks like you out there... Well, I can, but this close to me...

95% of fatalities involving trucks is the CAR's fault. Sitting up in a cab, watching the four wheeler scurry around you, and I cannot tell you how comical is is to watch, like little spoiled rotten brats getting in line for candy. That is EXACTLY what it looks like from above!!

I cannot tell you how many times cars have been behind me, cannot wait 3 seconds for their turn off to come, so they race around me, cut in front of me and then hit their brakes to make the exit. This happens 100,017 times a day out on the big road.... and we are maniacs!! LOL... gimmie a break!!

Cars on the road resent truckers, because we need to gain speed to make it up the next hill, they stay out in the hammer lane(That trucker is not going to pass me!!) talking on the cell phone, oblivious to the elements of physics.

Without trucks, you would parish....

My brother drove a tri-axle dump for a few years on I-95 in Ct. He'd be loaded with rock and some dim-wit would try to get on the highway and he'd inevitably have to slam on the brakes because the jerk driving the car can't understand that 80,000 pounds doesn't accelerate or decelerate very quickly.
Once he narrowed a cars width by about 3 feet because the little old lady expected him to just accelerate and let her on the highway. She came out of the wreck ok but her car wound up being sandwiched between the truck frame and the NJ barrier.

Well I can believe there are folks like you who don't bother to ACTUALLY READ A POST before typing their little fingers off posting some erroneous thing based on their imagination instead of FACTS

Try reading posts BEFORE replying
