I have no idea why more cross country trucks dont take hwy 90 which is mostly deserted


For starters highway 90 would add two hours to their trip over just taking I-12

Not if they're sitting still on I-12 for two hours

I can 100% guarantee that this was someone going 85 in the left lane and then cutting off the truck to exit at 190.

I drive that every morning and even at 615-630 the retards are cutting people off and slamming on the brakes.

He was probably doing 70 in the right lane and some jackass cut him off to exit at 190.

I shake my head every time I see them cutting in and out of traffic at 80mph.



This. What are the god damned minimum educational requirements for these drivers? Hell I almost had one blast through me at roundabout the other day

I know of at least one person with mild mental retardation who passed truck driving school. He went on to kill a lot of women.

Keep calm man. Some people are in the hospital watching their children battle cancer. It’s just traffic. You’ll get where you to be eventually.

. I would bet anything the truck was in the right lane and some jackass passed in the left lane and cut in front of him to get get off at Covington. People drive like lunatics on I-12

A lot of trucking companies are installing dash cams, and if a car cutoffs a semi to try to make an exit, and there is an accident, the car is being held responsible.
