Ha! And mud flaps coming off is mostly a preventable situation. Too many truck drivers don’t keep an eye on mud flaps good enough. And sometimes the ones working construction will be backing up in muddy conditions, and the flaps get ripped partially or entirely off.
Just remember: the place you live, the place you work, the car you drive, the gas you burn, the road you drive on, the food you eat,...... is made possible by trucks. If you got it, a trucker brought it.
oh of course I appreciate trucks, my brother’s father-in-law owns a trucking company. The amount of trucks passing you is a function of how much life is around you. They’re like red blood cells. I moved from Sourhern California to a very popular place with good schools and safe neighborhoods, cough-cough, and it seems like everyone followed me out here. Construction everywhere, and trucks galore. That being said, I think trucks and cars, especially in the numbers we have here in boom-town and at 70 mph, have no business driving together. I don’t drive on airport runways either.
