Hey Skeet, did you hear about Interstate 78 last week

[Niteowl]

Not to P##s on anybodys shoes here,but I have to say something about the Truck Drivers. I have driven Tractor/Trailers for over 25 years in every state and every type of weather Imagineable,and just like every other profession out there,you have your bad apples,so please don't lump all of us into one group. Most of your professional drivers know their limitations and will park the truck when it becomes unsafe to operate it. But bear in mind also that the "4 wheelers" also drive like idiots zipping in and out of traffic and doing like 70 in the ice and snow,all the while thinking that those big trucks can stop on a dime. Well I am here to tell you that "we" can drive those big trucks in that nasty weather and do it safely and in a timely matter,and I guarantee that almost 95% of the accidents involving big trucks are cause by "4 wheelers" thinking that we can whip those things around as easily as a car. Also we can't always just shut down that truck,some of those loads are time sensitive and you have appointments that are set days in advance,and should you miss your appointment,your company or if you are an owner operator,will lose alot of money or quite possibly the load will belong to them. Sorry if I sounded upset because I am not,been doing it to long to let it really get to me anymore,I just don't like being covered by a blanket statement. Any who I hope everyone has a blessed day.
