ok I know some truck drivers can be jerks and cut you off and just do plain stupid stuff but why blame it on all of us. I hear so many times that trucks should not be let on the roads anymore. That is actully a very stupid statement. Don't people relize that it is us truck drivers that get the goods to the palces you need.

Most people do not realize what it is to control 80k lbs of behemoth metal and engine and cargo. as the old saying goes if youve never done it you dont know.
myself i am a truck driver i have been for 10 years and have seen alot of things on the roads in this country.
people generally dont realize that a truck is "big" it takes alot of room to turn, stop, and most times a few minutes to get it up to speed. I have seen alot of good truck drivers and alot of bad ones.
the bad ones are usually the guys or girls late for a delivery cause they sat in a truck stop complaining about how they hate their job and are now running break neck speed trying to get there cutting people off and being unsafe.
as far as the bad ones go they dont need respect because they are unsafe and hazardous. As far as the many safe drivers you see they deserve respect because most of the time they are trying to do their job and not kill anybody.
just remember that most of the things you buy anywhere has been on a rig at sometime in it's product life. so if it wasnt for trucks and truckers where would we be? knaw on that for awhile.

Trucks are the lifeblood the American retail. They are also big and slow and impossible to see around, and, when an inexperienced driver is behind the wheel, dangerous.
I believe in mutual respect on the road. This means I will almost always let a truck in when it needs to merge into traffic...and it also means I expect a semi to get out of the left lane as soon as possible so it doesn't back up traffic three miles.
I think most truck drivers are professional and courteous...but the bad ones are the ones who stick out in your memory. Just human nature.

how are you able to ask a query that asks if a team of folk deserve admire and then say basically valuable responses? i'm valuable that some truckers due deserve admire and a few do no longer. I admire those that stay interior the acceptable suited lane and obey commercial transporting regulations. i do no longer admire the truck this is interior the left lane of a 2 lane highway lots longer than is mandatory because of the fact he has been attempting to pass a truck for over and HOUR going sixty 3. I understand that some autos have governors on them, yet they could desire to appreciate the obstacles. i be attentive to my ex has a fifteen Mile rule (that exceeds some state regs) that if he won't be in a position to pass the truck in 15 miles then he maintains to be at the back of the truck till he can pass him, or till he won't bog down the pass of site visitors. For those truckers, i'm greater effective than prepared to enable them to over and understand we could desire to share the line. those interior the left lane of a 5 lane highway are those that i do no longer admire.

I respect truck drivers, I stay out of their way, give them a wide berth, and realize that they cant stop 20 tons on a dime, or accelerate to lightspeed instantanously.
