I'm not much for saying anything about others driving, however trying to make up time in a construction zone, is not a good idea.

I-75 between Chattanooga and Cleveland TN.

Its getting to the point, where I'm scared whenever my wife goes down to the Hamilton square mall. (of course if you're married, you know it's impossible to stop a woman from going to a mall) :P

Trucks, and 4 wheelers alike. :twisted:

65 in a 45.....sheeeshhhh

 

That is why they need to abolish per mile wages. Picture a world where everyone is hourly and is so calm and courteous to one another. Oh what a dream .

 

yeah, but the way freight is billed you know that is never going to happen.

 

I have seen plenty of drivers who I know were being paid by the hour driving like idiots in and out of construction zones. Money is not the only issue by a long shot.

You have things like very tight appointment schedules that help drive otherwise calm people into idiocy. Of course you simply have the idiots that nothing will help except to get the off the road for good.

 

Yep...what he said.

 

Uturn is right...it is not milage pay that causes speeding in a construction zone(or anywhere). After all 4wheelers arent paid by the mile...are they! Everybody is in a rush...everybody...How you are paid, has nothing to do with it.

 

Not that I condone or do this in a construction zone, but other parts of the highway.......... I want to get home on friday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of you are gonna say its not just Friday. Yeah in general people are stupid arrogant SOB'S. Dont care but anyone but themselves. How many times have you have been trying to pull out on a road near a red light down the road. The red light turns red, traffic backs up and no one still lets you out!!!!!!!

 

You need to get yourself a beat-up, scratch-and-dent tractor and trailer. When people driving an expensive ride see you inching out, they'll for sure let you in! :P :lol:

Sort of reminds me years back when I was being trained in a HHG outfit. We took a trip to Chicago -- my first time there steering a big rig in downtown I-94 traffic.

My 'trainer' says "OK, put your left turn signal on and start inching over. They'll let you in."

They didn't like it, but they did let me in! :lol:

NOTE to ROOKIES: The advice on this post it strictly heresay and is not intended as advice in any way, shape, or form! :wink:

 

I beg to differ,,if I was paid by the hour I would slow down.

 

IF you were a "professional," you would slow down!! (At least in a construction zone) NOT only because it is the LAW.... but because it is the SAFE thing to do!

I really hope you FIND that perfect "hourly" job.... and SOON! Right now, your priorities are screwed up..... and your attitude makes you a danger on the road. :roll:
