That goes for anything other than a pick-up, motorcycle, or car. School Bus drivers are in the way, dump haulers, anything to an amateur driver. I’m only a class B driver right now. Am seeking a class A, and in time I will get it, but I just thought I would put in my 2 cents.

Great letter!!! So glad you shared it with us. Yup, the 4-wheelers just do not understand. All they know is that we are in the way. Some of the trucking magazines even had articles about trucks delivering at night only because that would make the congestion/4-wheelers happy. Have not read much about that topic now for 3 years. Doubt it could ever happen as it would be a nightmare. Hope to hear back from you with more letters. Thanks again.

Yes, thank you, Karen! As I’ve said elsewhere, it would be ideal to have EVERYONE who gets a drivers license to ride along in a big rig for at least one or two weeks, to see what truck drivers have to deal with everyday. I am so glad to see that you are now on the “inside” scene, instead of outside and “looking in”!
