You forgot the “oh shit I need to be in front of this truck” when no one is behind you on a single lane road. They cut you off, and then go 5mph less than you were going and then turn off the road in under a mile. I mean I’ve never hit a kid, but one of these days I’m going to get out and slap you and your great great grand babies so I can try and knock some sense into the family.
That's one of the only times I've ever locked my brakes up. I saw the guy at the stop sign in the 3/4 ton pulling a 5th wheel rv and knew he was gonna pull in front of me so I started slowing down before he did. Sue as shit didn't expect him to slam his dumbass brakes on a quarter mile up. Smoke rolled off my trailer brakes and I damn near drained my air tanks laying on the horn but hey he didn't get smacked I guess
That happened last week..I didn’t even react really..it’s almost expected at this point..that following distance is HUGE for us..you literally see how many stupid ppl there are on the road
Or the idiots that think because you are leaving yourself some reaction space between you & the vehicle in front of you. That’s it’s a great idea to cut you off & jump in that space again putting the dumb asses in harms way!!! 🙄
Hold you forgot the main dumb ass move some car and pick up truck drivers do , BRAKE CHECKING A FUCKIN 42,000 lb TRUCK !!!!!!!!!! Those are the main idiots who have a death wish
Oh yeah … everytime I see that viral vid of the semi driver completely knocking that pick up truck driver out cold in the middle of the highway & then literally dragging him out of the road for brake checking him & then forcing him to stop. I literally laugh my ass off!!! That will never get old!!
I've have some old lady LITERALLY come to a dead stop in the lane directly in front of me, to read the fucking signs 5fwy NB @ the 99 junction. Then as I lay on the horn and jam the brakes, swerve to the left, she decides it's time to move 2 lanes to the right for the 5fwy. I missed her by INCHES. It scared the shit out of me, I was shaking for like 5mins after. I pulled over and apologized to all 30+ of my passengers and they thanked me for being alert and doing everything I could to avoid the accident and keep it on the road
People are fucking idiots. I hate them, that's why I prefer to drive at night, less idiots to deal with.
That last part is the absolute fucking truth!! The only issue I’m having with that right now is all of my runs are up & down i95, i85 & the FL Turnpike which are all under heavy expansion from NC (where I live) all the way down to south FL! So leaving at night sometimes is getting worse from all the lane closures!
Bruh, those mfers that have been going the same speed for the 10 miles I’ve seen them and then speed up when I get next to them…THE FUCKING WORST. Makes my blood boil. Absolutely fucking stupid motherfuckers. And they’re always on their phone!
How about when you're on a street and the car that was behind you jumps in front of you, only to turn into a fucking gas station or store which was 200ft away, forcing me to slam on my brakes. Doesn't happen often, but I remember every single time it did happen because I wanted to fucking murder that person. It's so fucking stupid. Damn near broke the string on my air horn.
Yep I had some dumbass in SC do that to me today on i95 literally an hour after I posted this vid!!! He lucky I wanted to hurry up & get home or he might have caught some holy hands today!!
I relocated to work in Dallas, but my deliveries were in the Valley every day since I knew it so well the way Valley drivers would set my camera off for events was insane. Lmfao had all the people up there talking and yup it was always the McAllen area 😂
I do a South Florida run every week which is where I was coming back from when I made this video!! I’ve lost count & I’m not even shocked any more over the epic levels of complete dumbasses I deal with & the crap I’ve seen! I literally have to mentally prepare myself for that run every week!!
They don't care about us brother. Just like the homeless or vagrants they view us as problems. Not once have I've ever been thanked for making deliveries on time or even early. When I get home after being gone for weeks, no one asks me about the things I've seen or the journey I got to experience. They don't give a shit about us brother. Out here all we got is each other, and even that is getting harder and harder to believe in.
There’s no video that’s going to magically wake people up. The ones driving like that will keep doing it until it finally catches up to them. Just hope you’re not the one involved when it does 😇
The problem is, CDL holders carry the “professional driver” label, so all the scrutiny lands on them. Meanwhile, insurance companies push for more inward-facing cameras on drivers, but not nearly enough focus on external coverage that actually shows what these regular drivers are doing around trucks.
You’ll see plenty of DUI consequence videos from the DMV, but almost nothing showing what happens when people act stupid around commercial vehicles. No one’s really pushing that angle.
A lot of drivers don’t understand basic things like braking distance or how limited maneuverability is for different types of trucks. That gap in understanding is where most of this stupidity comes from.
Even with CDL training, a few bad drivers still slip through, sure. But most of what you see in those crazy clips online isn’t the trucker being reckless, it’s people around them treating a multi-ton vehicle like it can stop on a dime. And when reality hits, it’s not a close call, it’s a disaster.
the classic "slow down to off-ramp speed on the active highway to take the off-ramp, instead of using the off-ramp for that purpose, since, thats like, the purpose of the off-ramp"
It's crazy out there and when you read comment threads under a dash cam vid you can see why. So many of these drivers hate people in trucks or on motorcycles and bicycles. They hate that they share the road with us and see us as second class citizens, inconveniences, and targets for their road rage. Reading those threads opens your eyes to how these people view us and how quick they are to anger. Add to that the high number of reckless, distracted, elderly and inebriated drivers are out there and it feels like the wild west sometimes.
I’m also a biker & the crazy thing is these people look down on us but they have no idea how much their daily life routines completely depend on what we do & haul!!
4 wheeler here. My dad drove trucks decades ago and only for a short time, but he taught my brother and I some lessons. If you pass a truck and want to get into their lane, make sure you can see their whole front end, tires to rooftop in your rear view before you even think of going over. Keep your speed up if you do get in front.
He also taught us if you see a trucker with his signal on and you’re behind them, move into the lane they want to go to and flash your headlights. He called it “holding the door “. Usually when he did it the truck would move over and flash their 4-ways a few times and pops said that was them saying thanks. I’ll still hold the door when I can and if I get the four-way flash it instantly puts me back in the front seat with pops hanging on his every word.
Huge respect to you truckers, keep it between the ditches and rubber side down, God bless you all.
You forgot the asshole who just did 85 catching up then stays on the back bumper and in our mirror blinding us with his automatic highbeams that they are just too lazy to turn off...but we are on the same page my friend
In those situations I like to “accidentally drift out of my lane on the right side, hit the rumble strip and then suddenly swerve hard left back into my lane at them until I’m an inch away from the line.” That usually scares them enough either back way off or hurry up and speed away like a little scared puppy.
That just happened to me earlier..DO NOT FUCKIN SPEED UP GOT DAMMIT!! There are trucks up my ass as I’m trying to pass..fall back and let me pass so traffic can keep flowing
Its worse than ever nowadays, going on the hwy I get close calls at least 2-3 times on a good day. Every time I pass the dumb mf I look in their window and they got their phone right in front of their face. If an airbag goes off, their face would be their new phone case. Way too damn easy to get a license in this country. Dont even get me started at stoplights. I have to honk at people DAILY to get them going, sometimes 2-3 cars behind. Nobody pays attention anymore.
I believe ALL driver training (four wheelers) should have a block of instruction detailing the stopping speed of big trucks empty and full vs four wheelers. I think everyone would learn a thing or two if they did.
What really pisses me off if the cars behind you speeds around you slams on the brakes and make the right turn all Hella slow and keep in mind nobody’s behind us sheet gets my blood boiling😤
I'll add another one. Jumping in our lane at the very last second, no turn signal, no increase in speed once in our lane, then brake checking us if we blow the horn or flash them with the high beams since they apparently didn't see a large vehicle coming their way at a faster rate than them. It's really a shame we can't fix stupid.
Those idiot 4 wheelers don’t care they going keep doing what they do. Some idiot cut me off yesterday and had the nerve to put his middle finger at me cause I blew my horn , but I had my middle finger up at him too
