Strange Tales From The Road
Topic 27338 | Page 1
I was browsing through reddit and one of the tags was truckers describe the eeriest things they have seen. I have yet to start my truckin journey but that got my interest. Any of y’all have any strange, odd, or downright eerie tales of things you have seen while on the road? I bet there is a ton!
A BMW used its blinker earlier on I 287 near Edison, NJ.

Agreed. Saw this explorer go over the guardrail & down the side of the hill. She panicked when a rig pulled out from the shoulder & swerved left & right for a quarter mile, slammed in the brakes, skidded right over the rail. Mind you, she was in the center lane, rig was nowhere near her. Luckily, her & her friends walked away from that ish!

I see 4 wheelers pushing the limits of sanity on US 89, 93 and 95 all the time. I can’t believe some of the stuff i see. It borders on the surreal man. Serious Twilight Zone stuff. People passing when they don't have enough time to make their pass and causing me to brake hard and get onto the shoulder. People coming around me when lanes converge from two to one and cutting it way too close, and causing me to brake or slow way down to let the whole plug of four wheelers pass I tend to take the fat roads (interstates) now when i can to avoid this stupidity
