However, I was the world's worst about tailgating semis. I have do idea why...My friend who works on them says it is the stupidest thing you can do because truckers use cheap *** tires on the trailers and the bust all the time. I was like "yeah, yeah" until a small piece of tire put a dent in my billet grill.

o wow, i really hope that was unintentional. If it was, then im mad at the driver for doing that stupidness, and mad at you for not running him over

thanks for your understanding guys. i just wanted to put it out there to watch us as you drive. i have over 900,000 miles under my belt and ive seen it all, but the 4 wheelers just dont seem to get it. as for the light flashing, its what us truckers do to signal that you have enough room to merge or get over. i myself haul steel mostly but sometimes really hazardous material and id hate to come through your town with a load of this shit and spill due to poor decision by a 4 wheeler. please just take the time to acknowledge us and give us room.

i know not all truckers give a rats *** but i speak for many of us who run together and have families, were all just tryin to get along and make it home to our kids. help us get there safe please. thanks again!

oh by the way, yes trailer tires are a retreaded tire and under extreme weight and/or heat they will blow easily. its the steer tire or the front tires that make the ride interesting when they go. i usually haul steel through canada and new york with double trailers weighing in over 70ton not including the cab. thats a shit load of weight and there not easy to stop so when you see a guy with coils and doubles move out of the way.

I've seen enough people almost become roadkill on I-81, usually having the CB on coming back from Xmas break is always entertaining //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

As for me, I stay away from rigs as much as I can, you people with cars have no idea what fun you're missing in the turbulent air that gets thrown off trailers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
