The Rules:
Each view must be recognized as a personal
view, and flaming will not be tolerated. Cussing and nasty
remarks will not be accepted to this page.
** to vent, simply send an e-mail below** I will reconstruct
any wording to keep the site child safe, as it remains. and correct
any typo's. That's it!!!
I have started keeping track of how long it takes for the nonsense to start
from the time I hit the road. One time it was only 10 minutes before two
drivers were at each other. "Why Can't We all Get Along?"
We need to remember that there are more and more families out on the highway.
Years ago you only heard the occasional four letter word. Now the air waves
are filled with swearing and the like. The driver traveling with family is
forced to turn off and not have an important tool of his trade.
Years ago they called us "The Knights of the Road". Now it is harder and
harder to get that respect. Maybe we need to look at ourselves to find out
why. Think before you key down on that mike! Remember that what is about to
come out of your mouth will be heard by more than just the person you are
angry with. If you have a beef with someone, pull your trucks over and talk
it out like men. Take it off the road and off the radio. We are adults out
there. We aren't children! Stop acting like them!
Remember, we are businesses moving down the highway, and how we act reflects
on our business as well as the whole trucking industry.
Come on Guys and Gals, lets pull together to clean up the airwaves!

50% of accidents, are not and are the Truckers fault
A truck, as big as they are, CANNOT stop on a dime. They cannot enter
a highway, at a speed of a 4 wheeler, therefore more caution must
be taken when you see a truck entering a freeway. To avoid a problem
move over into another lane giving the truck the time they need
to speed up and travel with the flow of traffic. Simple isn't it?
Trucks and Tankers carry large loads, swinging meat, loads of lettuce,
milk, fuel, etc. that
have a lovely habit of shifting and they shift even worse,
when a person flies past them and moves into the same lane as the
truck slamming on their brakes suddenly and the truck driver is
not prepared for this manuever therefore the load shifts, causing
the truck to "fall over" reeking even more havoc to all
on the highway.
What can you do to be more courteous to each other ??. Put on your
signal, to let the driver of the truck know your intentions. That
is what it is there for. Give yourself plenty of room, before moving
into the truck drivers lane.
This is a section I am developing: to vent. Venting means
your personal opinions are spoken and put on line.
Privately (without your name) or you can have your e-mail attached.
You have a right
to venting, and getting something off your chest, but
you do not have the right to flame that person because
you disagree with them. This comes with a Truck Driver saying
Can't we all get along??? WE can and WE should, and everyone
has a right to tell their experience on the road.
I am more than a little upset about all the fighting and swearing going on
over the CB lately. It seems you cant go more than a couple of hours without
hearing truckers cursing each other out or picking fights. I have been a
professional trucker for 17 years and it seems it is getting worse and worse.
Rules of the road: The unwritten rules: That are never in your driver tests and should be
First, This is for all Truck Drivers, 4 wheelers, and the Police who are forced to make
the determination of who was at fault.
50% of accidents, are not and are the 4 Wheelers fault
the total
100% is someone's fault. How do we determine this?
It is simple.
Follow the common misconceptions, of Trucks and 4 wheelers.
Think for one second, what if, just what if you pull in front of
the truck, and the driver in front of you has to slam on his breaks?
Well, there you have your answer.
