I drive dump truck for a living I could tell you all kinds of stories of idiots that shouldn't be driving.

hell one day I was loaded to the gills with Rock I weighed 63k lbs and I was booking along around 65mph and crossing over interstate 80 and some stupid broad decided either she didn't want to stop or she didn't want to be behind a "slow" dump truck so she pulled out infront of me about 50 yards before I got to the off ramp and I laid on the horn and brakes hoping to god I dont kill anyone and some how I managed not to hit her. I did however follow her to the place she was going and had a nice conversation on that most of these trucks in this area get paid by the ton not the hour so we work fast and we are not like 18 wheelers and to pay attention. I said alot of cuss words and Are you that stupid? or do you want to die? It got real bad when 2 kids under the age of 10 jumped out of her SUV.

I told her that I could of hit her and her husband would have to identify the body from dental records and I would of walked away.

After that she broke down in tears. I hope it works for her but I get tired of people that dont respect trucks.
