My rant of the day,driving down the Yellowhead with three semi's abreast, why can't the City put in a trucking Thru line and let the traffic flow a little bit better? anyhow have a great day.

My rant. Why do drivers of small cars and mini vans think its ok to pull out in front of semis that are going down the highway? It has happened to me many times. People don't realise that semis can't stop on a dime. Especially when loaded and weighing 63 tons.

Or when a 4 wheeler pulls in front of you coming up to a red light and hammering on their brakes right in front of you, only to gain 1 spot in the traffic line. As mentioned above, takes a lot of room to get these trucks whoa'd up.

I don't drive a semi [ just my truck & fifth wheel] but it even chokes me when I see people do crap like that. Feel for you guys.

They speed up a little when the high beams come on and the air horns are going off! :d

i totally agree with the semi lane. irks me when there is 3 gravel trucks lined up at the stop light even though they are just going straight through....

Especially when they are loaded!! Been on both sides, drove truck for 10 years and probably was swore at lots.

I know what you mean! But you have to remember....truck drivers are stupid. Well most truck divers. Oilfield and equipment haulers are usually good. I think most of these cattle and grain haulers drank what they found under the sink as a kid.

Lmao. They are like cattle. Either they take up the whole road or follow single file so close u can't pass. Especially them rag wearin' ones haulin' gravel. But I've been on the other side of the fence. Almost replaced my bulldog with a ford 550 cube van cause he figured that he should stop suddenly for a deer and let it cross the road, or a jeep sandwich between myself and a KW when he crossed the center line on a 2 lane hwy. Frigging scary somedays.

Just to add to this, another thing that pisses me off, is people passing on blind corners, or near the tops of hills. Was hauling a load of grain from home at Carbon here, to Picture Butte one day. It was a foggy miserable day, and could hardly see more than 100' in front of my truck. Noticed there was another semi, that was also pulling super b's behind me. Going up a hill, he pulls out to pass me. (he was empty, I was a little overloaded) He JUST makes it past me and gets back into the right lane, as a truck coming from the other direction goes past. Think he might have had a stain in his shorts. He was on the side of the road a couple miles up the road later.
