But that is the rumor. They plan to build a new dealership on the edge of town. The sign was being held up by one of their trailers! LOL
well thats what those trailers are good for holding garbage!
MBI drivers are hacks , they fly donw US41 and I 65 all the time here in Indiana , cuttin people off and blowing red lights. I notice alot of trucks have less courtesy , its a normal for them to pull right out in front of traffic at the truckstop down the road from my house . Of come off the expressway and ignore the stop light . I drive alot of miles a month for work and keep a close eye on all trucks on the road , almost didnt make it home form missouri this past week due to the fact a truck didnt look before changing lanes , I was along side of the semi , almost to the rear of the tractor when he started coming into my lane . A definate pucker moment to say the least .
One of my best friends was a trucker, haulin gravel in his own truck. He wanted to start up a business, but an injury ended it. now he makes custom cabinets , home improvements and finished basements. He did our basement - its spectacular.
But I have had my run ins with bad truck drivers. Once I almost got squished from behind when traffic on the highway stopped, but the driver drove into the shoulder at the last minute, reamerging into traffic later. I definately would have died had he not dove off the road. Another time, my mother was backing out of a parking spot, and the truck driver suddenly got out and started shouting at us that we hit his rig. We did not hit him. It was obvious, and there was no damage to either vehicle. He was crazy. after we left, he filed a false police report - and my mom's insurance settled!!! When they tried to raise her rates, she dumped them.
Once we were the idiots and my buddy tried to pass a semi in a snowstorm. The wind on the ice slick road blew us into a slide and we collided with the truck. The driver saw it coming and slowed down and took evasive manuvers. That saved our lives. If he had not acted fast, we would have been rolled over by the trailer.
Truckers come in all forms and I have learned to beware and respect them.
