Under Appreciated

As a former otr trucker, I can honestly say that the average person/4 wheeler has little to no appreciation and respect for truck drivers. If only they knew and understood the sacrifices and hardships these drivers endure to keep the country going. Keep the rubber side down and stay safe 🙏🏾

Trucker blocking both lanes because left lane ends in 1/4 mile

Do you think he is in the right? Or do you think that it’s better to merge closer to the lane closure to avoid traffic? 

This was I 77 southbound in South Carolina

He couldn't be bothered

Walmart in Triadelphia WV is nice enough to let us park here but a driver for Ihle Transport out of Kelly Ia couldn't be bothered to walk 200 feet into Walmart and relieve himself like normal human beings.

Did a very good job of explaining what's happening and what to do about it.

Got wrote up for moving truck while off duty.

Yesterday I moved my truck into a dock and then back out so the other truck driver could get into the dock after they finished with me. I got there after another truck the night before so I parked off to the side so they could go first. Turns out I had stuff on the trailer they needed first so they asked if I could back into the dock. Moved forward under 5mph and then backed into the dock. Once they were finished I pulled out so the other driver could have the dock. Today I get a phone call and told we can't do that because if I wreck I would be off duty. I am seriously irritated and am wondering if I am correct that this isn't a big deal or am I in the wrong and it was a dumb thing to do.

Dumbass 4 Wheelers

Vehicle didn't even leave a car length moving in front and then slowing down by 5mph on the downhill. Camera is mounted as high as possible on the windshield so from the seat you could just see the front of his roof and hood. Air horn was laid on for a good 10 seconds.
