I bumped 8 docks today. My total time in all 8 docks combined was 1:10. They're fucking us bros and broettes. They know how to get us loaded and unloaded in a timely manner, they just don't.
So to start with my bona fide's, I started driving a semi in 1999, I average 550 miles a day 5 or 6 days a week so conservatively I've driven a semi 3,500,000 miles throughout my career.
As I said the trucker is wrong but what happens here happens 10 times a day EVERY SINGLE DAY. I will catch up to another vehicle and attempt to pass them and get 3/4 of the way around them when they get scared that a big scary semi is gonna be in front of them. So inevitably they hit the gas leaving you stuck in the passing lane looking like a dipshit. The traffic behind us doesn't see the person accelerating they just see us out blocking traffic. Usually the 3rd person in line behind us gives us the 1 finger salute. It gets extremely frustrating and seeing as we are still just people sometimes we have bad days. That's not excusing this truckers dangerous behavior because we have to be in control and act professionally at all times, even when we're having bad days. But holy shit from a truckers perspective this is so understandable. Edit: the trucker absolutely should not be in that lane.
Close to 20 years ago I saw a couch next to some train tracks. I've watched it go untouched until this last winter that entire time and now it's only moved about 10 feet. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this brown couch I'll give you 1 USD
