Dose it make you mad when semi trucks pull out in front of you sideways and stop?

I know it makes me mad, they pull out in front of people and block two lanes of oncoming 55mph traffic at night to wait to make a left hand turn! some of these truckers are pulling gas tankers! Wow that would make a big boom!

hey my mother was a trucker for 18 years. they know better than to do that. if you see the company # and truck # call it in. my mom would rag on them over the CB for doing that sh**


Mr. Sir
Nope, not one bit.

There just getting even for all you idiots that pull out in front of them and stop so you can make a turn 30 feet down the road.. The door swings both ways and in most cases it's the trucker that gets screwed.

shut up and slow down

Did you ever consider that it makes us upset to have to do that??? People who speed excessively on secondary roads throw off timing for the driver as it is often hard to estimate how fast some people are driving towards you. We don't do this to intentionally cause an accident, or to spite other drivers.... in many cases, the municipality SHOULD have a traffic light installed or if the turn is THAT challenging it is possible for us to make a right and then make a U-Turn.

People, we need to share the roads. If you bought it, then a truck brought it... plain and simple. It is a thankless job sometimes and although our choice to make as a career, spending time away from loved ones, stressful traffic conditions eventually add up. We ALL need to PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING and get to where we're going safely, this includes personal vehicles and commercial!!!

Sounds like a poorly designed intersection, you should report it to your Department Of Transportation instead of complaining about it on here. Furthermore, until you've taken a ride in, or, have driven a tractor trailer, you have absolutely no idea what it takes to navigate one on the streets. While I can't advocate making an unsafe movement with a vehicle of such possible consequences, at times it can be nearly impossible to make the movement without calling the police to block the roadway. You would probably complain about that too though, so why not just slow down, pay attention, be courteous and give the truck drivers a break?

All have to say is the driver may have had no choice, slow down be patient.
If he was pulling a tanker and i am sure he had no choice probably only way to enter or exit the station.
I can tell by your question your attitude is all about you think about the other driver, be glad he is willing to deliver your gasoline, I AM SURE THAT IS A JOB YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THE BALLS TO DO.
