There are a few things that I believe deserve mentioning which don't exactly qualify as part of . Still they do need to be put up for consideration.

They are not in any particular order, so don't think I'm playing favorites. It's just that I have not had time to consider the position to which each should be assigned.


My list is as follows:

Children who want you to blow your air horn, while in heavy traffic

Small towns with stores, cafes, and such; but no room to park a truck

People who won't back up or move over from the left turn lane, to let you make a tight turn to the right

The fact that a truck must stop to be weighed and inspected, while a 20 year old station wagon;loaded with lumber, riding on mismatched, bald tires, and smoking from the tail pipe goes on down the road

Having to pass a physical every year, while 80 year old deaf, half blind, highly medicated people get a licence renewal in the mail for four more years

People with a 2000 watt cb base station, and no friends to talk with, so they get on channel 19 and start s___

Dark windows

Getting blocked in at a truck stop

Radio stations that play songs you never hear anymore, but they only get out 20 miles

Highways with different speed limits for cars and trucks

Truckers who tailgate




Well there is one thing I just dont understand. Why does the law make me carry a fire extingusher? It's not their truck, what do they care if it burns up? Cars burn up too but they don't have extinguishers, now do they? And while I'm at it why don't cars have to carry spare light bulbs? And why is it perfectly legal for a car to have a radar detector, but not a truck?

If cars were subjected to all the one sided laws that trucks are, there would not be a phone line in Washington that was not busy from complaints.


Maybe you can figure out what all these laws mean. Here is the Federal motor carriers laws




Sorry if I got a little too serious for you there, but hey, I was on a roll.

Anyway, you're almost done. Just a little more.




Too afraid to go on?
