Profile For Rhonda

Good for you Mountain Girl!

Luckily, I have only run across a few of these knuckleheads and your well described response is pretty close to how I reacted a couple times.

The last time I ran across one these vermin was going through one of the construction zones on I65 South. The left lane was closed ahead of me and he thought he could muscle his way in front of my truck before the merge... Well, no. He apparently saw "Averitt" on my truck and figured I was some kind of softy or something. I seen him coming, judged the distance then pushed the peddle to the floor. (Of course I was safe about it). He immediately went to cussing on the CB calling me all kinds of things and threatening to whip my ass. I didn`t say a word back, didn`t have to. The airways lit up with the other truckers around reading this dude the riot act and saying he aught to have his ass whipped for trying that ****. I would have had to hard break to let him in which would cause an accordion effect on the drivers behind me. Not gonna happen. His radio must have stopped working because he went silent.

I am not necessarily a "nice" guy, but, I will not tolerate that level of stupid.

Ah yes...those wonderful bully truckers.

Good for you mtn girl! Did you report him to his company?

Welcome!

Me and hubby got burnt out on medical field too.

And congrats sister! You'll kick butt on that driving test, I'm sure. Everyone gets nervous, it's normal to be feeling the way you are,

And you ain't gonna forget how to drive between now and your test... Lol.

My instructors are constantly reminding us to not worry so much about grinding a few gears. The examiners are more concerned with your driving safety; traffic checks, lane changes, using mirrors, taking corners, signaling, etc.

That's right.

There's a lot of rude truckers and 4 wheelers out here. Some days, God gives me the patience to overlook and ignore them.

Other days...not so much. Lol

Congrats driver!

We have no problems with arriving early with our customer. We drive on a dedicated account.

What DRIVER said. As a rookie, you don't have enough seniority to reject anything during a period when you're supposed to be proving yourself as a "go-getter."

That's right.

Those trailers stink to high heaven!! I hate being in the same parking lot with one ... *Gag*
