Dont recall this ever being asked, (sorry if it was)

How common is it for truckers to give a hitchhiker who is willing to throw said trucker some cash a ride? Just setting myself up a hypothetical situation where I have to get somewhere but missed the greyhound or something. If I throw you 50 bucks would you drive me to your next destination? Also sorry if this is a stupid question.

I wouldn't give a ride to anybody. Reason being, crimes against truck drivers have gone through the roof since the economy took a poo poo. I've known about three shootings in the last two months, two fatal. Not worth it.

At the very least, they've got a crowbar, big-rear end tire iron or that metal club thing they use to check tires. Probably got some strong tie-downs and a tub of mechanical grease somewhere as well if they're feeling frisky after beating you up.

It costs money to start trucking. You are looking at about 3 bills to get your CDL, and then being forced to work at bottom feeder companies for at least 3 years. At the end of the year, you'll find out that you've worked yourself stupid, and have not a lot to show for it. You have a good chance of dying doing this job, and if you don't die behind the wheel, the food we eat from truckstops will make sure you don't have a long, happy, thin life. I've worked 170 days in a row, which is pretty much uncommon, to think about it another way, that's 10 days shy of what a California teacher works in a complete year, you'll be working under labor laws that don't cover you, because you are under interstate bullshit act of 1937 and loving poo poo like that. You don't get any overtime, you'll have "the man" up in your poo poo all the time, there is a chance that you could go to jail, get fined, or have other grief because of your job. You'll never be able to say "Yeah, let's meet up then a watch a movie, hit the bars, chase tail etc etc" because you don't know when you'll be home. You'll live in a room smaller than most prison cell rooms.

And those are the good points.

Because the rail companies are extremely difficult to work with.
If you have a truckload, you don't get a schedule for shipment. Your item arrives at the railyard and sits there until they get enough cars to justify running a train.
God forbid your location needs 2 trains.
JB hunt, UPS, and so on have enough clout to get a train running, but the average person isn't in much luck. If you have LTL, you're even more screwed.
Plus the last mile will always be truck.

I agree we need a lot more train use, but we need a wholesale reform of the freight system before that.

We have a Fifth Wheel truck stop on the 401 with a bizarre long and twisty driveway leading to it that lots of us four wheelers like to hotdog on in the winter because its extra wide for the trucks.

One icy day while I was pumping gas an incoming trucker showed up everyone there by drifting his truck down the whole twisty driveway pretty much sideways and then parking by sliding backwards into one of those big truck parking spots. Some of the most impressive driving I've ever seen.

Hey Interceptor, check out what happened to this dude:

http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-truck...0,1080604.story

quote:

A day of driving turned dangerous in Debeque when he stopped to eat Saturday.

"A gentleman walked up to me and asked if I was driving that truck, pointed to my truck. As soon as I said, 'Yeah, I am,' he punched me in the mouth. And then, threw me in a snow bank and started kicking me and broke my right arm," says Danny.

He doesn't know why he was targeted. He says nothing out of the ordinary happened en route to California.

"I don't know if I cut anyone off or what," he wonders out loud.

But he suspects he must have angered the man who beat him.

...

She says Danny's employer, S&T Livestock, didn't help to get him home.

"One of the worst things that could have happened to their employee happened. Danny was abandoned. He was abandoned at the hospital. He had to find his own way home. And to me that's unheard of. It's unheard of," she says.

So Danny's friend had to drive him 262 miles from Fruita to meet Deanna who then drove him to the hospital for surgery.

"I feel very fortunate just having surgery on my arm. It could have gone a lot worse," says Danny.

I can see why you all carry tire irons and bats and poo poo, dude just got his rear end kicked out of no where by some rear end.

InterceptorV8: Mar 9, 2004; Would have been a shame to blow it up.

Don't worry, truck drivers are used to getting treated like poo poo, and lied about.

quote:

If ever there was a crash that tugged at the heart of the entire state, it was the one that took the lives of Joe Biden�s wife and baby daughter and hospitalized his two toddler sons 35 years ago, just weeks after his precocious election to the U.S. Senate.

It was an unbearable turn of events, from one of the most daring political breakthroughs in Delaware political history to unspeakable grief, and there is no reason to make the accident appear worse than it was.

While campaigning in Iowa for the Democratic presidential nomination, however, Biden did.

�Let me tell you a little story,� he was quoted as saying last Friday in the New York Times.

�I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on December 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly � and I never pursued it � drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries.�

Except there was no drinking. There was not even speeding. The truck�s brakes checked out, as well. It was not the driver�s fault.

Biden insisted Wednesday in a brief telephone interview from Iowa he told the story as he knew it.

�All I said was what I heard at the time. What I heard from folks at the time is he�d been drinking,� Biden said, sounding agitated. �I don�t want to talk about it. . . . She must have pulled out. . . . It�s still painful to talk about 35 years later.�

The embellishment is reminiscent of one of the problems that undid Biden the last time he ran for president 20 years ago. He was swallowed up mostly by plagiarism charges, but there was also an incident, taped by C-SPAN, in which Biden became irritated with a New Hampshire voter and belittled him by inflating his own uneven academic credentials.

Among Biden�s claims, he said he was named the outstanding student in political science at the University of Delaware and was in the top half of his law school class at Syracuse University, both untrue, and won an international moot court competition, which was true. He also gibed, �I�d be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours.�

In Biden�s memoir, Promises to Keep, his explanation for that blowup was along the lines of his account of the accident � lack of knowledge.

�I lost my temper in New Hampshire. What I�d said about my academic achievements was just faulty memory or lack of knowledge. I hadn�t remembered where I finished in my law school class. I hadn�t cared. But to say, �Wanna compare IQs?� was so stupid,� Biden wrote.

The crash involving the Biden family station wagon and the tractor-trailer driven by Curtis C. Dunn, 43, of Kaolin, Pa., occurred on Monday afternoon, Dec. 18, 1972, a week before Christmas, at the intersection of Valley and Limestone Roads in Hockessin.

Joe Biden, who turned 30 in late November, was in Washington to set up his Senate office. Neilia Biden, 30, was at the wheel with their three young children � three-year-old Beau Biden, now the state�s Democratic attorney general, two-year-old Hunter Biden, now a lawyer in Washington, and 13-month-old Amy Biden.

The tractor-trailer was heading toward Pennsylvania on Limestone Road when it broadsided the station wagon, sending it spinning for 150 feet, breaking the windshield and crushing in a rear door, while the truck itself skidded for 20 feet and landed on its side, according to The News Journal, which was printed in two editions in those days as The Morning News and the Evening Journal.

Old campaign literature littered the road, along with the truck�s load of corncobs. Dunn, the truck driver, heaved himself out of the wreckage and was the first to get to the station wagon, the newspaper said.

Neilia and Amy Biden died from the crash. Hunter Biden sustained head injuries. Beau Biden had a broken leg that kept him in the hospital beyond the start of the Senate�s new term, leading their broken-hearted father to decide to take his oath of office in the hospital chapel and to vacillate about whether he should be sworn in at all.

�We can always get another senator, but they can�t get another father,� he said.

The state police investigated the accident. The concern then was not that Dunn would get away with anything as serious as drunken driving, but that he could get railroaded. He had plowed into the family of a United States senator, after all.

As the chief deputy attorney general, Jerome Herlihy was assigned to the incident. Two days later, he issued his report, clearing Dunn.

A story headlined, �No Charges Due for Trucker in Biden Deaths,� in the Evening Journal read: �[Herlihy] said there was no evidence that [Dunn] was speeding, drinking or driving a truck with faulty brakes. In addition, Herlihy said, witnesses to the crash near Hockessin provided no basis for a prosecution.�

No further details were released, although Herlihy knew more about the accident than he let on. Years later, he elaborated.

It is hard to think of anyone better the Attorney General�s Office could have sent. Herlihy was a Republican, a good enough one that he served as the Republican state chairman in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but he also knew the Bidens and thought the world of Neilia.

In the late 1960s, Herlihy and the Bidens were neighbors with a common driveway on Marsh Road in Brandywine Hundred, when Joe Biden was a new lawyer. It was before he was elected to the Senate, even before he was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970.

The Bidens had two German shepherds, and for better or worse, they were named �Senator� and �Governor.� When Herlihy used to pull into the driveway late at night, he would spy eyes looking at him from the bushes and call out, �Senator, is that you?�

Herlihy, now a Superior Court judge, no longer will talk about the accident because he is constrained by his judicial office from injecting himself into a political campaign. He was interviewed about it, however, in 1998 by this writer as part of the research for Only in Delaware, a history of modern state politics.

In that interview, Herlihy said Neilia Biden either accelerated or drifted through the intersection, and Dunn could not stop. The truck driver said she was not looking at him, her face turned away, and the state police thought she was distracted by one of the children in the back seat.

�She was one of the sweetest people you ever could meet. It was so tragic,� Herlihy said in 1998.

Dunn died in 1999, but Philip A. Lafferty, the truck owner he drove for, still lives in Avondale, Pa. In a telephone interview, Lafferty recalled the state police impounding the tractor-trailer and the station wagon for the investigation for a couple of days and concluding that Dunn was not at fault.

�Nothing came of it. They had people, witnesses,� Lafferty said. �He was a good truck driver, very caring. It shook him up. It was an awful thing for all of us.�

Biden�s remarks in Iowa were not his only version of the accident. He offered another description in a speech on Sept. 19, 2001, at the University of Delaware. His focus that day was the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, but he mentioned his personal tragedy to show he understood the country�s.

�I got one of those phone calls,� Biden said.

�I got a phone call saying, �Your wife�s dead, your daughter�s dead.� And I�ve only said that three times in public before. But I say it here because it�s so important for you to understand. I got one of those phone calls. It was an errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit a tractor-trailer, hit my children and my wife and killed them.�

Except there was no errant drunken driver. No drinking. No speeding. Not even bad brakes

Kinda dicky.

And here is another story in this week of trucking:

quote:

Arrow driver JOHN "JR" EISCHENS is still missing!

Truck# 6325
(Moderators...I would not post the truck number if it were not serious...please bear with me)

John's family last heard from him approx. 5-7 days prior to the shutdown. John did not call any of his family at Christmas for the FIRST time in his 34 years.

It has now been THREE WEEKS with no word from John and his family is adamant that this is extremely out of character for him.

When John last called, he had no money. As Arrow bounced drivers' last several paychecks AND cut off, the week prior to the shutdown, the limited $75 advances they allowed their drivers to take- JOHN WOULD HAVE HAD NOTHING.

We are working many angles, frantically trying to locate this driver. His mother, this morning, officially filed a missing persons report for him. She is worried sick.

John is described as 6'1" tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds, and has short dishwater blonde hair. We are working on obtaining a photo from the family.

If you have any information about this driver- please contact myself or any of the other administrators at the Arrow Trucking Volunteer Support board on Facebook!

They were almost always driving well over the speed limit when I would come across them. Never really had any problems for the most part. Though a merging bus in chicago one night almost caused a pileup as he thought it was a good idea to jump over an immediate 2 lanes from the onramp infront of me and a bunch of other cars, causing me to snake through a bunch of evasive drivers so i didn't end up killing someone.

Stupid poo poo happens on the road to everyone though. I think Chicago itself just wanted me to die as it seemed to always throw little curve balls at me when i was there.

Anyway, I tended to be courteous towards them, as those drivers have quite a few lives on their hands.
