Yet another one in favor of the truckers. I've spent a LOT of time driving across I80 in Pa, and Ohio, and on I81 (NY to Virginia), and I've had about two incidents where I was even annoyed at truckers. Most of the time, I stick in a convoy, and don't run into 1) Officers of the Law 2) Cars 3) Rudeness There are certainly a few BAD BAD BAD drivers, but if I stay clear of themI've found that truck drivers are safer, more polite, and more helpful than 95% of auto drivers. The experience shows in knowledge of where their vehicle is , what it can do, and what SHOULD be done. -- TEDDY BEARS ARE NICER THAN PEOPLE-HUG YOUR OWN TODAY (allegra,harpo,ulysses)!rabbit!jj
