Please also take into consideration when you are driving around horse and livestock trailers as well. Those animals are standing in those trailers and are forced to balance, while going 60-70 mph. Please don't cut them off. If you do, it puts those animals lives at risk, some of them are mares, with their newborn foals sleeping between their legs. They don't have airbags back in the trailer to protect the animals. Please don't cut them off and give them lots of space when you follow them. It's only for the safety of everyone on the road. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ I pray that everyone that is on the roads gets where they are going safely.

I'm so thankful I was raised near the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I learned respect at a very early age. I can remember leaving at 3 am to drive to Maryland. It was In the Winter and fog everywhere. I would find me a BR (big rig), flash my hi beams and ride that BR to its exit. Those flashers would hit and I knew the ride was over until I could find another. I would do this until my exit or the fog had cleared. LOVE MY TRUCKERS ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Hey folks, keep this in mind: A tractor trailer when hauling a load can weigh in excess of EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS. It CANNOT stop in the short distance a car can and will destroy your vehicle if you do stupid things. Give them the space they need and the respect they need to be afforded. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

I grew up in trucker family and I was taught to give truckers the right away, they will help you out when they see you having issues on the road, by them or will CALL ON CB TO GET HELP!! PLEASE BE KIND AND GIVE THEM RESPECT ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

I drive a Dodge truck and pull a horse trailer and I canโ€™t tell you how many assholes pull in front of me with their car , and then hit their brakes thinking I can stop in one second while Iโ€™m carrying 3500 pounds with the horse and the trailer and I donโ€™t want the horse to go through the grill ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’ฉ

I try to let trucker know itโ€™s safe to pass me plus give them lots of room when I pass. People that are behind me going faster than the speed limits, I give them my hazard lights for them to back off . If not for Truck Drivers we all wouldnโ€™t be haven groceries, our jobs, they are the ones who keep us going in this world. Thank ya Truck Drivers.

As the wife of a trucker and daughter and granddaughter all my life I have heard stories of people cutting in front not caring if they could stop. My husband drove 50 years local but he came home daily about stupid drivers cutting over in front of him getting off an exit or jumping in front on the interstate and almost stopping like wanting to be hit. Think how you drive around a big truck they have families too!!!

people don't seem to understand stand. Don't get in front of the BIG TRUCKS,they can't stop on a dime. Do you see how slow they are to start moving? They are just as slow at reducing their choice,they have a lot of weight on those trucks. Also, remember that it's those drivers that bring the things you need to the stores for you,clothes,household items,wood,hardware medical supplies,everything you have a need for. Have some respect they have families too. Drive safely, and don't text and drive. That's a distraction and can cost lives.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Seeing someone jump from an overpass onto a flowing lane of traffic because there hadnโ€™t been enough time to shut it down you cannot unsee. They landed directly in the path of an 18wheeler. Let me tell you of your can imagine how bad that could have been multiply by 10x and walk with memory. To see that happen from literal begining to and was just overwhelming in itself but had to still finish the job. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ถ ๐Ÿ™

THIS is the stuff MY nightmares are made of... my love is a truck driver (with 45+years driving experience) and the number of times I hear him cussing in frustration or from fear because of impatient, careless drivers in regular vehicles is insane. I never worry about his driving, I have utter confidence in his ability to handle his rig and trailer ... I'm terrified of the other idiot drivers on the roads with him that put his life, his sanity (what it would do to him mentally and emotionally if he ended up killing someone else through no fault of his own), their own lives and those of their passengers, AND the lives of other innocent people on the roads who might get caught up in the wreck! Be smart, be patient, and be sure to give safe distance all around 18-wheelers. They CAN'T stop fast enough. More wrecks involving 18-wheelers are caused by OTHER DRIVERS on the roads with them being too impatient or reckless around them, and yet the truck drivers are almost always blamed ๐Ÿคฌ

Yes, please do not cut off semi's, or travel beside them, most of the drivers are trained not to hit you but it depends on the situation. Give the semi the room of at least two car lengths to apply breaks, also at night if they have passed you and they have plenty of room to come back in front of you flash your lights twice, they will thank you by flashing the brake lights. Always get in the LEFT lane if there is a car or truck, TOW TRUCK OR EMERGENCY VEHICALS or POLICE on the side of the road, it is called a "Hazard" and you can cause more problems if you dont. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ To the family our thoughts and prayers are with you.๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™

I knew a lady who ended her life this way. Stopped on the side of a freeway and stepped out in front of a car. Her husband had died from a heart attack, and then two months later her 12yo son died after getting lost on a snow trip with youth. After all night they did get a faint pulse, but she was on the helicopter with him as they tried to save his life. She never recovered from that. So sad.

If you can't see their mirrors you're too close. If you cut them off giving them nowhere to go, you loose. Being in a hurry and acting stupid when driving hardly ever ends well. Now this truck driver has to live with this horror the rest if his life.

Accidents like this is why many insurance companies require trucks to have cameras and not just on the dash. Many trucks have cameras with side views that will show in court how cars create accidents. So, if youโ€™re thinking of jumping in front of a truck for a payday you might want to go get a job and live longer. Cameras donโ€™t lie

I get tired of the attorneys that advertise on television and billboards telling everyone that trucks are the fault of accidents. Yes, there are some bad apples everywhere such as the case of some states allowing foreign drivers to obtain licenses without proper training. But for the most part I know that automobiles are the root cause of accidents because commons sense and common courtesy is not used. Truck accident litigation has become a multi billion dollar industry that is wrong on many levels
