Today I was traveling on a Texas interstate I 35 headed south towards Laredo TX when like many time before I up on a git on ramp wher a fancy new ford pickup truck pulling a 24 foot or longer trailer was makin his entry on to the same highway. anyway ther i was mindin my own bussiness at my regular crusing speed of 75 mph :roll: and I met the show rig at the same time ... how ever i couldnt git over to allow him on. cause i had a lil black sports car on my left.... the dude in the fancy truck n horse trailer stomped on it ,, the black smoke rolled and he just wasnt pickin up speed fast enuff.. we meet... i caint git over he's running out of excaleration lane.... so guess what.. he went on the shoulder then the ditch with a cloud of dust, ( nothing was hurt but only his ego)... what do people think when encountering a big truck in a situation like this?? do they just assume we are gonna git over and let them on? Of course the thing ya might be thinkin is.. why dint i just slow down? let him on... well thats not allways the best move, i have done just that, slowed down,,and in most cases the person gittin on slows down also.. then guess what.. yer right back wher ya both started :shock: Its allways been my knowlage that the vehichcle gittin on the freeway has to"merge" with traffice..am i wroung? :???: I kinda felt bad for the guy to have his day ruined like that, i even felt worse for the wild ride his livestock took... so my question is? for you trailer pullers on the highway...do you really think Big Trucks are allways gonna give ya the road? or does anyone really think about it?
Its not just horse trailers im pickin at.. i woulda have to say the oldfarts in the RVs are the worst. Im closing,,, i have to also ask, why is it that truck drivers have to have a CDL license and go thru training, and folks pullin any other trailers dont??
Im keepin score: Kenworth 1-- Ford pickup 0
