Missed encounters

We were on Bailey Street in Jackson, MS. It was 10:24 this morning. You had a red tractor with US Xpress on the door, and a roll up door trailer. You were in the left lane, I was in the right. I was in a slab tr uck with 19 slabs of granite on. The light turned green, and you swerved into my lane without even looking. I cursed you as you drove away and didn't even seem to notice that you pushed me into a phone pole. If this was you, please hit me up. I'd really like to speak with you face to face.

Missed Encounter, I60E at Bilko’s back lot: $21 seemed steep, but tbf, it wasn’t bad. But you left your dentures on my dash.

Missed encounter: I-15S going into St. George, steering wheel holder in a (purple?) freight liner pulling a 3 car trailer. No only could you not maintain the 70 we were doing by dropping down to 65 then blocking me from passing, but on two occasions had over half your truck in my lane while I was passing. Don’t worry though, my camera got your info and my TM was already on the phone last night. Crazy how easy it is to find scratches when you really want to (;

I’d like to add to this, although this guy was on his phone so not as much, but any driver that can own up and admit to their mistakes, I have no problems with and I’d let it go immediately. But when you take off and/or give me the finger and continuously drive like an asshat. Your license needs to be up for renew. We’re supposed to be professionals.

Pissed encounters: I-55 north in Arkansas, north of the 1-555 exit, south of Highway 181.

A lady trucker was passing you in the left lane, in an under 70 governed truck, just as your front bumper was even with the rear wheels of her trailer, you sped up and matched her speed. For the next 4 miles, I laid on my horn sporadically, until she finally slowed down and got behind you.

Once she got back into the right lane, I sped up, my governor is 78. So I quickly got In front of you. My normal truck is in for repairs, so I was in the spare truck with a faulty turbo. So as I floored it. I let out a nasty cloud of thick black smoke as I passed the 2 of you. That was unintentional.

Now, me getting in front of you, slowing down to 60, and letting the 15 vehicles or so behind us pass you. That was completely on purpose. Once they cleared, and you went to the left lane. I floored it again. Letting out a second cloud of thick black smoke as I left you behind. That was also on intentional.

Oh and slowing down 1/2 mile before my exit as more traffic clogged up in the left lane so you couldn’t get over. Well that was just fortuitous circumstances, that ramp does have an awfully sharp curve. Have a great day!! A little courtesy can go a long way. So can being a dick and irritating the folks around you.

You just happened to remind me of when I was in a truck governed at 65 and the same situation happened to me. Where eventually I had to slow down to get behind the guy, and watch as a bunch of angry, faster trucks passed us both.

Missed connection...

Today. Saint Joseph MO. Headed into the left hand turn from Alabama street to Stockyard Ave. .you thought I was turning to slowly, so you decided to use the right hand turn lane for incoming traffic to go around me.

Illegally.

Your sweet little silver Nissan with a fucked up bumper and mismatched tail lights was an amazing sight.

Hit me up baby, cause we need to have an educational encounter.
