ORIGINAL: lilsubl as a semi driver, this is one of my favorite rant subjects!! i love it when a smaller vehicle passes me, then jumps in front of me & slams on their brakes so that they can make a turn or take an off-ramp...it's sort of like having paddles to the heart to get it jump-started...i also enjoy it when smaller vehicles taigate me, since i can't actually see them back there & if i had to stop very quickly, they would rear-end me...any idea how much of a compact car will fit up under a semi-trailer in that situation? then there are the drivers who can't slow down in order to allow me to pass a slower vehicle going uphill, because after all, it will take them a few seconds to get back up to speed & i'm taking away at least a minute or two of their busy lives that they will never get back... as for the comment about drivers who take it way too seriously, it can be deadly serious...anyone who doesn't understand that they are propelling a multi-ton lethal weapon down the road needs re-training...i spend each & every day preventing people from committing suicide on the roads, using my big truck as their weapon... rant concluded..... You have just got to love the 4 wheelers! We prevent suicide driving every day as well...most people in cars do not understand that We have 80,000 pounds to stop and it takes at least 2 football fields to do so. So a word of advice to the 4 wheelers 1) Don't hang out bye the trailer 2) Pass quickly and keep going, don't jump back over and slow down 3) don't draft on the back side of a big rig....we can't see you and don't want to scrape you off of our bumper when we stop 4) be kind, professional drivers are out there driving 11 out of the 14 hours they work each day and without them you would not have everything that you enjoy to buy at the store. yes it is true we keep the stores stocked with milk to toilet paper....but somebody has to do it! rant over.
