Anybody have doubts about my 6,000-7,000 road hours that I've logged so far living in a fast growing, midwestern hub area? I've spent 1000's of hours on the interstate when I was commuting 60mi 1 way back and forth to school, and my many road trips.

My limited time shows enough bad experiences with rig drivers here to constantly keep an eye on them. There seems to be about a 50% chance anytime I see a truck for more than a few minutes that the driver will do something stupid.

Here all the construction projects and the weight restrictions cause the trucks to absolutely flood our highway/interstate system. They venture off onto small town roads in annoying attempts to beat traffic, clogging up suburban streets in the process. Many construction projects use unqualified, unlicensed native americans to drive. A girl from my graduating class died last year when a trucker failed to even slow down for stoplight instead plowing into her car. The trucker had no license, and the truck received something like 18 safety violations. This is the kind of BS that goes on here. Maybe my limited

experience I can't say "all truckers" but the person who claims they know more than me about MY experiences is an idiot.

Some of them may be phenominal drivers. Whoop dee doo. A vast majority are not. The idea that I don't know what goes on out there in a rig is annoying. I don't need to. Why the hell should I? When I get an assignment in my job and something doesn't work right I don't pick up a keyboard (or whatever else I may work with) and beat the heck out of something with it. Why then is it okay for a trucker to act like a little baby when something doesn't go his way?

LowDown Just because you like the butt lovin' over there before you hit the sack doesn't mean we like it back in the home country. I go for the girls, not guys. Just because we are both members of a Mustang board doesn't mean we are both homosexual like you. I wish you the best of luck discovering girlfiends should to be girls. By the way, it's best to keep your sexual preference to yourself, I hear you get kicked out for being a homo.
