I am still full of rage and its been a day now since this happen so i need to figure out a way to relax
so help me out here. So the story is...I at work coming back from a servce call in cal city and in
heading north on 294 just exiting 80. I pull into the toll booth about a good 1000 feet from the gates
and patiently wait behing a semi.Im in no hurry to get back to the shop) So about 5 min go by and
im still waiting in my line and theres a line next to me to my left and empty to my right cause of a
closed booth. Well now im about 150 to 200 feet to the booth still behind the same truck i entered
the tollway with and out from my left side comes this frieghtliner about3 feet from my truck and
maybe a foot from the ass end on the trailer infront of me. So im thinking to myself " what the hell is
this guy doing?" im looking out my window up into his cab trying to see if he sees me. Well the line
moves forward a few feet and so i move forward and so does the idiot driving the semi next to me.
Now hes like 2 feet from my truck but now the front bumper isback behind my drivers door. So now
im thinking well hes going to merge in behind me and dint pay anymore attention to it. Traffic moves
again. I move 10 feet more. Next the ass end of my truck is being rocked. I look out my mirror and
the corner of the semi is up againt the bed of my truck just infront of the rear tire. So i get out
Yelling and mother fing him up and down just about climbing on his truck and the jacka** has the
balls to say i came out of nowhere and cut him off.Yet hes over the line in my lane! Im just so
pissed off! and the state tropped finally shows up asked for our info hands up a form to fill out and
send in and takes off. No asking of stories or anything! And out of all those people NOBODY could
stop and say what they saw?! I work for a trucking company so im around truckers all day. They
have a job that a monkey could do and they cant seem to figure out how to do it! Dont get me
wrong there are alot of great drivers out there. And im always the one to slow down let a driver
merge into another lane when crusing down the highway cause i know how it is to have to drive a
semi. But its like companys nowdays are hireing COMPLETE IDIOTS! And im ashamed to say buy my
company is just as guilty hireing an idiot whos last job was pizza hut! (he lasted a week before he
burt up a clutch an quite) But it like the common answer i always here is "Wasnt my fault". Last
week i had a driver Tear off a complete front fender including headlight assembly and try to hid the
damage in the yard by parking the damaged side away from the shop view. The next morning when i
saw it the repose i got was "It wasntme i dont know how it happened" and yet hes the only one to
ever drive that truck. So people tell me am i wrong to be full of rage here? i just cant seem to drop i
t. Ithink its cause of the blatent disrespect of that driver towards me that hit me. I would love for
nothing more than to take a ride out to dyer indiana and throw this guy a beating but i know even
though it would make me feel so damn good it would be wrong.
P.S. nobody was issued a ticket
