As she knows that we drive a RV, My daughter, driving a BIG truck, privately posted this to my facebook. So for all others, be warned, do NOT EVER mess with a tired, sleepy female truck driver!!! Here is her post:
"I'm only going to say this once. Unless you like being visited by your friendly state trooper and threatened with arrest for a federal offense, do not park your little cheap ass motor camper beside a reefer trailer in a truck parking lot. If you chose to do that, do not bang on this driver's door at 0400, demanding that I shut my reefer off because its keeping you and your girlfriend awake. Then when I POLITELY (yes, I even amazed myself with that) advised you that you might want to find another parking spot and close my curtains, do not let me peek back in my mirror and see you staring at my reefer control panel. I will, and did, call the Kansas State Police. Guess you didn't know there was a Trooper in the service plaza getting coffee at the Dunkin Donuts. Thank you, unknown trooper, for explaining to the dumbass about the federal laws regarding the interference of tampering with an interstate commerce vehicle, carrying frozen food. And since it contained food for human consumption, had he successfully messed with the controls or load in anyway, that got into a domestic terrorism act through homeland security. Oh, and since this driver was on her federally mandated rest break, that the rv driver disturbed, well, he was quite sure there was probably a federal statute that applied to that as well. Now, please move your RV and remember these lessons, thank you very much.
Sometimes I love Karma. I asked the Trooper if I could buy him a coffee. He said no, but thank you, so I hand him one of my Milos sweet teas. I rarely part with those for anyone so I hope he understood what that meant!"
BE WARNED!! BTW, we are proud of her, and what she does. Many do not realize that her attitude is the only thing that makes the truckers life bearable, and we would all starve to death without them!
