"ON THE ROAD AGAIN"(2)

Out There On The road Driving A Tractor Trailer..There Isnt nothing Else To Do But See Things..And You never Know What Your going To Se or What Might be Just Around The Corner of The Road.....Some of The Things I Saw Were Not Nice At All To See..Other Things You Wish You Didnt see And Somethings Were Just Down Right Funny...
In Missouri..At A Truck Stop..I Saw A Pure Black Either Coyote Or A Fox..It Was hard To tell As He Was out in The field And The way It Looked...He had a Destination In Mind
Also In Missouri..They have Signs...One Sign Going On A highway Read.."No Self propelled Machinery".."No Horse back Riding"And At The bottom of the Sign It Said.."No Parades"rolling on the floor laughing
Another Sign In Missouri Said.."Watch For Fog")Uh..Aint That What All Do When driving is Watch?)
In Indiana There was A Sign That said.."Free Billboard".."Call For details"(For Some Reason I Dont Think Its Going To be Free)
One Night There was A "Blood Red Moon"The following Morning The Sun Was Red For A Good Portion of The day(Id Suspect Pollution)
And Then There Are The Burnt Out Cars That Are nothing But Shells of What They Used To be....Turned over Tractor trailers Waiting to be Righted Again(A Lot of drivers falls Asleep At The Wheel And Die This Way
And Then There Are The dead Animals That Attempted To Cross The highway(No Matter What The Animal is Crossing The Highway(If ur In A Tractor Trailer..U Have No Choice but To Just keep Going)..If You try to Stop Or Swerve out of their Way..Chances Are you Will End Up Hurt real Bad Or Dead(Moose Are the Worst)Hit One of Them And you Will have Your vehicle Demolished
Then There Are the sad sites..Like very Tiny Cages Out There In The Fields Were A Young calf is in And Its So Small it cannot m0ve At All(if You eat veal..Think About That poor little calf Who cant move So he Will be tender to Your taste
here And there Will be Very Small cemeteriesWith A few headstones (Id Think Theyre from A Long Time Ago)
All Along The Highways you will See crosses And memorials Put up For Those Who Died There In Crashes(A Good remender To us Who Are still Alive
One Bumper Sticker Said.."Dont Follow".."Pursue"
The Cheapest Motel Sign Along The Highway Was.."Marys Motel"$29.95
Then There Are The names of Places..."Lords Valley".."The Promised Land And "Dingmans Ferry"..To say Just A few
Sometimes The Timing Cant get Anybetter When You see A Hawk Just hitting His Prey In The High Grass Along The Highway
And Sometimes The Timing cant be Any Worst When You see "Mama Duck Crossing The Highway With her babies In A Line In back of her(And you Know Thge rest of The Story
I Even saw One Woman truck Driver Stop And let her "Todo" Type Dogs out To Do What They had to Do.."All Four of Them!!!"
And not To Forget The Numerous groundhogs Living On The Sides of The Highways Just Standing There And looking Around
Some Signs Will Say.."Moose Crossing".."Deer Crossing" And I Even Saw One That Said "Turtle Crossing"(Thats A Long Wait)
Well..Thats About It For my 1st week Out
I Only get 34 Hours off In A Week..So Its back On The Road Tomorrow once Again
This Time I Have to Go To Detroit To Start off With(Dangerous Place To Go)
But The people need Their Goods
And Its us Guys And Women That Risk Life And Limb To get it There on The Shelves For You
So..Thank A truck Driver once In A While

Because..Truck Drivers Are "The Economy"
Got To get ready To leave Tomorrow in 14 Hours
So..Have A Nice Week Folks....And Remember

A Word To The Wise Here
It Could Save A Life..Possibly Yours

"If We Are All Doing 65 Mphs Going Down The Highway"
"And Youre In Back of A Tractor Trailer Truck"
And Either because You Cant See(Because Hes In front of you)..(Or Hes Going To Slow For You)
And you Pass That Truck And get in Front of That truck
Remember This
When You Pass
Be Sure to Wait Until Your At Least 50 Feet Before you get In Front of him...Why?
Because if Theres Just Enough Room For you To "Squeeze" In Front of Him
And Theres Another car 20 Feet In front of Him(And you "Sneak" In There In Between?
If the other car Has To Suddenly Stop..And then You Slam On Your Brakes...It Will Be All Over For you
Tractor Trailers Can be A Gross Weight Of 40 Tons..80,000 Pounds
And 40 Tons going At 65 MPHs Will Go Right Through You..As They require A lot more Space to Stop.. And you possibly Could End Up being A Part of history very Fast
One last Thing
If Youre In back of a Tractor Trailer..And you cant See His Mirrors
Well..."He cant see You Either"
These Are my Tips For Those Highway Drivers Out There
Be Safe People
Got To Go
Its off I Go To The Motor City(Detroit)......

Happy trucking!beer
As a trucker myself, I'd like to add something to this thread.
In the US virtually all trucks on the road esp the interstates are in radio communication with each other. There is also another form of communication used by truckers. They signal to each other with their lights. It used to be common practice years ago for cars to signal their intention to pass a truck by pulling out and turning their bright lights or high beams on. Thankfully this practice seems to be on the wane. The last thing you want to do is blind the guy driving a 80,000 vehicle at the exact time you're trying to drive between him and guardrail. When a trucker flashes his lights at another truck, it means it's safe to pull in front of him. So by flashing your lights at a truck you are sending the opposite message you wanted to send. You're telling him it's ok to cut in front of you. Also, if a truck is trying to pass you and you see the back of his truck is clear of your vehicle, flash him your high beams or shut off your lights for a second. This will tell him it's safe to pull over in front of you. It may surprise many people but a truck driver doesn't know PRECISELY where the back of his trailer is. If he misjudges, he could push you right off the road.

I've thought it should be a part of driver education to teach the truckers light system to all new drivers.
