I’m not a Trucker

… but I play one on the weekends … The new truck I got puts me up high with the other tractors … A lot different than my cab over Isuzu … But one thing you car people need to realize … While a truck may be slower getting started, or slower up hills etc … You feeling you can zig zag and zip around them should be re-thought … There is something you were taught a long time ago before you took that driving test … It was called “stopping distance” … Driving a truck, I use this feature a lot … If you cut in front of me to get ahead at a light or something with a stop coming up, you have just put your life in jeopardy … One thing you need to realize … Even though I might be slow, or you feel that you need to get around me or something, if I actually can’t stop, or you cut it too close, I will crush you like paper box … Not only will this be effortless, I won’t even realize it … I will think I went over a speed bump or something in the road … and another thing … If I’m cruising down the highway at 70 or something, don’t pass me just because I’m a truck … pass me because you’re doing something greater than 70 mph … Again, if you pass me and then resume your 65 mph, I will crush you like a paper box … It’s tough enough to drive a truck, and having idiotic cars out there thinking that we’re a nuisance doesn’t make it any easier … Remember, paper box … effortless … you will die …
