Semi truck drivers..lack of concern ??
Many excellent drivers out there and have safety concerns for others, but I have come across a few AH's from time to time. Most recently crossing the Mississippi River at Memphis the bridge is so old ...

About the only time I really get POed at a semi is when they are obviously taking the little, curvy 2-lane road near my house because they want to avoid the scales on the freeway. They aren't making a delivery along that road. Those guys are dodging the scales for a reason and that makes me suspect they shouldn't be on the road in the first place. The only big guys that should be on that road are home delivery vans and logging trucks.
But, on the freeway I see far more bad stuff from car drivers than I do from the semis. At least the semis seem to respect my space and I, in turn, respect theirs. I know they are on the job and let them by when I can. And since I am hazmat trained, I know which semis to give a wide berth. Cars just go where they want and are sometimes hard to anticipate. I especially hate it when I'm hauling my horse. If I lock em with my RV, there's nothing in the trailer I can't replace. I can't say that for my horse and I have to really anticipate things. I've seen the aftermath of a horse that got caught under the wall of a trailer (trailer had a weakened wood floor) and it wasn't pretty. Horse survived, thankfully.
