I'm at the Petro in Laramie yesterday once I-80 got shut down yesterday, with every guy possible cutting off a truck with 4ways on. I patiently let two other trucks park and then had to fight for a parking spot. It made me start to think about the way trucking has been going. How everyone's in a big hurry and only out for themselves, common courtesy is entirely out the window.
I still had a little faith in it today. But after riding down the road today, listening to others fight someone and threaten them over charities because they want the fame, forgetting what the cause is, and trying to ruin someone who wants no credit, no fame. I don't care who else is involved in the charity, it is a charity. We will still entirely be willing to support it even with our worst enemies involved in it.
I now have no faith in this industry or the people in it. I hope I'm proven wrong, but after my charity was butchered to it's knees for others to gain from butchering it, I really don't think I am.
People wonder why being a family is gone. It's due to people wanting fame instead of wanting to do what's right. So, you have differences???? Put them aside for once. Accept the olive branch we've handed out to everyone or quit complaining cuz you're the problem!

This goes out to all of you who say "mind your own business, I know what I'm doing." You super truckers are the same ones that are the first to jackknife or end up in the ditch. So, I think since you "knew what you were doing," and now we have to sit, like tonight in Laramie, WY, for them to open the road in the morning, we need a new rule.

Here's the rule. If you shut down the road with your super trucking and you walk away unhurt, every one of us held up by your stupidity gets to kick you.

What do you think?
