smokin george Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I was going up a 3 lane road that turns into 2 lanes after the intersection.the right lane is a fkn turn lane and well marked. Damn Paki comes thru and tried to get in. Hes giving me the finger which gave me more motive to box him in. Now hes up beside me and telling me I should let him in. I said go fk yourself and learn to read signs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is sitting at a desk all day, working on cars, shingling houses, or working in the coal mine. $90k for driving a truck is pretty damn good.

Tired of hauling gas, working every weekend, holiday and barely seeing my family (I'm home nightly). Also tired of medical cards, hazmat fingerprinting and most of all, other drivers! Great gig at 4am on a Sunday, otherwise I'm tired of it! Congrats on 50 years, hell of a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the "customers" in the stations that makes it suck. No respect for the guy pulling a 65' long rig into a store made for a box truck. We are always the asshole!
