re: Truckers are the worst drivers and possibly the worst people

I was stuck behind two trucks matching speed for well over a half hour.

a cop friend told me this was illegal in Louisiana (that was a long time ago so not sure if that has changed)

They are good people outside the truck but they definitely act like the own the road.

You can take a tractor trailer on if you like, but you’ll lose every time.

Cletus Snow would never get that Coors to Atlanta on time in a modern semi-truck.

My dad was an over the road trucker for 30 plus years logging millions of miles and he was never involved in a major accident.

He would always tell me that truckers are the most dangerous drivers on the road and that a truck stop is no place to be hanging out at night.

If people had any idea who was driving these rigs they wouldnt get on the interstate.

Most people with CDLs are borderline retarded.

18 wheeler almost hit me earlier when he changed lanes to the middle lane I was in and then rode on my arse like it was my fault he didn't see me. Bitch I was here the whole time.

Honestly I wish he did hit me so I could call finally call Morris Bart lol.

I get upset sometimes at truckers blocking both lanes, but I try and give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as how they are the lifeblood of our nation.

There’s a fundamental lack of understanding how payload affects trucks that are governed at the same speed. You can’t just line the trucks up 100’ apart and cruise from Atlanta to Pheonix. One truck has potato chips and zips right along. The next truck has 40,000 lbs of bottled water and lugs up the hill and flies down the back side to get momentum for the next hill. If you’ve driven both you would understand. I’ve driven off and on since ‘95 with no major accidents.

take a US Hwy. the interstates were built for 1) National Defense 2) Interstate commerce

and way down the list, the interstate is for pussies like you.

Last I checked we all pay for them and we're all allowed to use them, pussy or not. Also last I checked basic decency and courteousness were virtues, and the country would probably be in better shape if those were more common.

If "the interstate belongs to me and if you don't like how I drive then you're a pussy" is a common attitude among truckers, then you've made a real strong argument for truckers being some of the worst people. I can think of several other types of people who act like public infrastructure and services are just for them and who don't give a frick if you want to use them too. Just awful people.
