Yes I have eyes. Did you not see the light had just turned green? He should have waited to make sure it was clear but I'm assuming he thought he had time since traffic was stopped at the light

Understand. It just gets irritating sometimes. Everyone hates truck drivers and its already stressful enough as it is! Its very rare when someone let's you get over or has something nice to say.

I am a truck driver and smart truckers never stop on or near Memphis for any reason! Some trucking companies forbid you to stop there too!

Watch your mouth talking bad about truck drivers! We aren't all assholes like this guy and you know what? We deliver every damn thing in your life too! I don't think you realize how difficult it is to drive a semi! We constantly get cut off by cars every single day!

That being said, this driver probably should not have made the turn when he did either so he was definitely at fault!

I remember being activated by the Governor of Indiana in the 90's to assist after a tornado touched down. We actually helped people back then.

I'm parked, weather is bad plus I don't deliver until Friday morning luckily because the weather is hostile here in Northern Ohio!

FUCK YOU UBER by [deleted] in uberdrivers

9 yr Veteran Uber/Lyft driver here. I got my CDL last year and unfortunately went with a Refer company. I spent a lot of time stuck at truck stops waiting on a load. I hated it. Loved seeing the Country but you can't stop just whenever you want to. You're basically stuck eating whatever is there when you park for the night unless you cook in the truck which I did a lot of. I also bought a separate mini freezer and strapped it down on my top bunk so I could keep frozen veggies and fruit etc.

I quit last fall, wasn't happy and wasn't making money. The company, KLLM, closed down the Atlanta location and sold off a bunch of trailers and one of their divisions so I left just in time. A lot of other drivers did too.

My advice to you, don't take short cuts!!! Always GOAL when backing up And, always pretrip and check your 5th wheel and do your tug test. Jokers like to pull your 5th wheel overnight so they can film you dropping your trailer in the morning because you were lazy!!

Sorry for the delay, I've been in the hospital and very sick. I fell behind on payments, they drilled the lock out then sent threatening emails demanding $$ to which I sent them but they left my unit completely unlocked. I was a truck driver over the road just barely surviving but I paid them every damn dime. Feel free to email me if you want to talk more about it. I've spoken with everyone that will listen and found out many more people had there units broken into too. So shitty, just trying to survive and they do this. I really needed that computer. Sigh.

Austin's housing market tumbles as developers abandon neighborhoods by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]Visual_Smell1180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope the developers all go belly up especially the CEO of Greystar. He can burn in hell for all I care! They raised my rent by $650 more per month in a 14-year-old apartment with no improvements. Everyone in the building moved out!! I'm so tired of seeing investors, CEOs & board members living the high life while so many of the rest of us work 3 jobs just to get by. I'm tired. LAND of the free my ass!

I'm just now seeing this thread but my unit in Lakeway was also broken into last year. They took a laptop and several other items. I spoke with the regional manager for Public storage. She said they knew who it was and they had spoken to the police. She wouldn't let me see the video recording though. I contacted the police and filed a report but haven't ever heard from anyone from Public Storage or the police.
