Well I was driving down HWY16 and notice this young lady driving all over the place, and seen that she had been texting and driving. This really pi$$ed me off, so I drove up next to her, rolled down my window and tossed my beer can at her.

You threw your beer can at her? Lol so drinking and driving is good then but texting and driving isn't..?

I can't believe you fell right into this………………..but then again maybe, just to keep it going you throw out another bone!!!! :D

you not kidding that they hire just about anyone. Last Feb I was heading to Golden and about 45 km out of Revi I was following a CN Intermodal truck. Suddenly the guy bounces off the curb not one but 3 times ending up landing the truck on its side. I got out to see if all was well so I needed to climb up to open the passenger door. All I seen was a terrified Asian guy (I think he was from Bangladash) scared out of his whits. Anyway, I helped him out but I have no idea how he got his licence because his English was so bad we had a hard time communicating with each other.
One thing to consider when talking about truck drivers is money. Good drivers follow the money, highway and intermodal are some of the lowest paying jobs therefor in general you get the lowest quality drivers.

Those are awesome rigs. The sidecar wheel is powered as well, so a guy wouldn't be getting stuck much.

There's some real commitment to getting the knees in the breeze.

Lol I guess I should tell the other half of the story. It was about 1 am and I just spent hours trying to tow a guys jeep out of a swamp and my truck got covered in the process, and it started raining. So I could only see out where my wiper blades cleaned and when his high beams hit my windshield I couldn't tell where the ditch was due to the dirty windshield and rain

Hauling hay today I get passed by 2 vehicles in the fog!You couldn't see more than 4 dotted lines in front of the truck and that was in the good spots!When I looked down at them passing I didn't see any car seats or kids so I decided if ch!t was going to happen I was going to save my own ass!Sorry but I'm not taking the ditch with a load of bales and getting in a wreck to save their ass because some azzhole is in a hurry!I have a wife and 4 kids all under the age of 14 and I don't feel like getting killed because some dick figured I was going too slow!They passed me at least at a 100k!Starting to think that the trucks on the hiway up to fort mac are not the problem!Also if you have a suv with all season tires doesn't you drive summer speeds in the winter!!

How come every health food store has to change their front windows more than once, because shoppers are driving through them, what ever they are getting from there must not be working so good.

Seen this today, the woman in the car was stopped right on the road having a conversation with the guy in the electric scooter, didn't put the hazards on or anything, and was there for a good 10 minutes carrying out a conversation on the busy road. People were having to go into the oncoming lane to get around them. I guess they didn't think to pull into the big open parking lot to the right?
