Truck Stop Follies And Assorted Stupidity

I just watched this professional do a straight back for 25 minutes. First, he tried to run into me, then he almost got the truck four spaces over. He had 120 feet in front of his hood to line it up, too. Why do it the easy way??? Speaking with him, he tells me that he has driven for eight months; leasing his truck for the past seven months. "I think I make $450 a week after my boss does the deductions for me. I don't have to do any accounting this way." I walked away.

The name on the trailer made me laugh (after he was finally parked).

A whole 450? Better off working at McDonald's a

This driver is not originally from the US. He's from an ethnic group that is preyed upon by other folks of the same ethnic group that own shady businesses here. I have seen this many times during my travels around the country.

I hit send too soon!

That $450 may be a king's ransom in his home country, or he may be entitled to $2500 a week after expenses now. Who knows with his boss doing the accounting "to make things easier" for that driver. These groups are being taken to the cleaners by their own people and don't even realize it.

Pack, that is funny and sad all at the same time.

This one really defies explanation at first glance. I wish there was a video, or at least more than one photo. Talk about twisted truckers!

I did a 10 hour break at the Love's in St Joseph, MO yesterday. I spotted this hit-and-run as I was leaving this morning at 0200. That's all debris to the front. The truck had been sitting for a few days judging by the snow amount on the trailer, and it had happened after the time I parked. Hopefully there was dashcam evidence of the criminal that left the carnage. Not showing much in the photo are the tire tracks from the offending trailer. Clearly did not swing wide, nor utilize the mirror....

Caption with "Not A Merry Christmas" or "Here's Why You Don't Park On The End"?

I pulled this one from another website. Another one I'd like to hear the story for the cause.

Prime truck cut the corner too tight. Was outside of Dallas. I was getting fuel, he clogged up the whole exit for hours.....here's your sign.

do your pretrip!

It's TERRIFYING how stupid, and lazy some of the drivers are that we share the road with.
