When this kind of crap used to happened to me, when I was still driving, I would just pull over and wet a tire, or check my chains or straps, and/or check my tires. In the few minutes that it took for me to do so the source of my aggravation was 3 or 4 miles down the road and I didn’t have to deal with them again. It was much easier than dealing with people like this and the anger and anxiety that they cause. Life is too short to let things like this get to you.
Yea I don't drive trailers but I get this on my commute often. I'll just move over and let them get way ahead of me then I go back to doing my thing. Funny thing is I always end up passing the tough guy with out them even noticing
Better than the police, call their Safety Department and get an email address. Then email the video. Believe me, Safety will be on the phone with him in 10 minutes.
@@garyvolkmann3647 If that were true, they would have to terminate over half of their drivers. They are hands down the most aggressive drivers as a company.
I worked safety for them for 10 years. I and others quit when they stopped doing driver safety. It’s up to their independent contractor to teach them safety. FedEx Ground Safety will not call the driver, they will call the truck owner and leave it up to them if they do something or not. These owners need drivers too bad.
I Drove trucks in the 80s from sea to shining sea, and I never experienced such child-like behavior, of total disregard, and lack of professionalism, but that seems to be the way of the world these days. - Godspeed
@@vogelvogeltje Not what I said. I said "I never EXPERIENCED such child-like behavior, or total disregard, and lack of professionalism". I'm sure there were plenty of jack asses driving trucks, but there were a lot less people in the world at that time and I can speak with 60 years of life that there were way fewer angry people, also CB radio was the only communcation we had with the outside world so if you had a beef with another driver you just said your piece, but I never had another driver behave so dangerously. I'm sure it happened, just not me. I found in my years of driving that the good people way out weighed the bad. - Godspeed
I was driving on a snowy highway in Pennsylvania, a few years ago (in a pickup). I had a FedEx driver, (with 2 trailers, like this one) run up on my ass as I was in the right lane, going about 50 due to the road conditions. He layed on his horn, like I was doing something wrong and passed me, nearly catching my back bumper. Then he sped up even more. There was a long curve in the road, and about 5 miles ahead, I caught up with him. Only, at this point, his truck and trailers were on their side. Karma.
I drove for 11 years and finally I just was cool and followed this truck into a truck stop, and when the driver left I went oner to his truck and removed all 18 tire stems.
@@75egcg Never happened. I had my own places to stop and sleep. I delivered cow chow so i was on a totally different schedule than regulat truckers. But as I looked back upon that ,I felt bad that I did that. I really doubt that that act did anything to change any thing.
I'm a regular car driver, and that happened to ME with a child in my car in a very hard rainstorm! I called the police because I thought I HAD been hit (it was seriously that close; later I had no visible damage though). No dash cam, but after I passed crazy trucker and he SPED UP like he was going to run me over, I got off the next exit as dispatcher lady instructed and the police overtook him on exit ramp 😂 WHEW! I didn't have to file the report: they SAW it! And they called me later to make sure I'd had my car looked at for damages. It was literally terrifying.
Yup, at 0:28 he cuts out a whole minute in which he was strolling along in the passing lane when he probably had plenty of opportunity to get back over to the right.
I can't believe how much aggressive rubbish I had to read till finally finding someone else who noticed the filmer's poor lane discipline. He had ample time to return to the right lane after first passing the red truck (see in wing mirror). He was driving provocatively on a couple of occasions in my opinion. And please, the volume of the bad language bleeps nearly burst my eardrums through headphones, totally unnecessary. Rubbish vid.
This is why when I retired I gave up my CDL A. Professional drivers are sure lacking and only going to get worse with driver shortage. Always run a dash cam to protect your license and be safe.
@Indians Auto You can still use it for small stuff, there’s many companies that will pay retired CDL holders to drive Mack trucks and other larger vehicles you need a special license to drive from point A to point B. It’s a good way to make money after retiring.
The best use of a CDL (Class 1 in Canada) is to get gigs with film companies- it's a blast :) It is hard to let go, I'd had mine 30 years, and for a girl back then it was an accomplishment.
I used to work for FedEx ground. Its an EXTREMELY stressful job, therefore, NO stressed out FedEx driver's should be allowed on the road!! Too dangerous for other driver's and themselves. The anger u feel in this job is unlikely any other. FedEx driver's: STOP taking your stressful job out on other truck drivers! You're ALL on the same mission
Maybe driving was just stressful for u. I have no stress driving for FedEx ground . I’m never pressured . There is no incentive rushing . Nobody cares if u rush or drive normal . If u don’t like driving them you’re in the wrong business
CDL needs to be revoked! He has two trailers and is as reckless, if not more so, than people with road rage in regular cars. You were so calm and kept it professional and very respectful to others on the road. Amazing job, Mr.Tex! I'm glad you are okay!!!! 🖤
Fed x wasn't the problem the driver that was in the left lane was the problem I drove 43 years and you just don't drive the left lane unless your passind
The cammer edited the video to avoid showing that he was hogging the left lane. At 0:29 you can see in the side view mirror that it is safe for the cammer to change lanes back to the right lane. Look at the time stamp on the bottom right as it then skips from 14:37:50 to 14:38:40. The cammer was cruising in the left lane that entire time which is probably why the red truck followed by the FedEx truck then passed on the right. That doesn't excuse what the FedEx truck did, but it shows what the trucker did to evoke that response.
Thank you for this post. It was clear to me that the cam guy was the Ahole from the start. He stuck to the left lane like he owned it, making everyone go around him. The FedEx driver was mad and did cut him off a little to let him know this, but Mr cam stuck to his lane and speed like a stubborn mule, and gave the FedEx guy a horn job and probably the finger from the way he went off on the FedEx driver. The fact that Mr cam deleted the police conversation with 911 and the video at the truck stop, tells me Mr cam got increasingly belligerent, denied any wrong doing, and told by the police to get lost.
Well if that is true, all he did was drive on a road lane. What the others did was stupid and dangerous. What he did was maybe careless or stupid , but at least he didnt almost kill anyone, he was just driving on the road. What the other driver did could ve easily cost the life of like 10+ people if a crash happened on the highway. Even if you see someone hogging the left lane, just fucking drive, maybe honk or get his plate number or get him on your dashcam, but dont go up and try to kill him and you and everyone nearby, THAT is just fucking stupid. Be the bigger person and let it go, but by acting this way you become the dumbest of the bunch. Like sure a pedestrian crossing on a red light is dumb, but running after him to fucking punch him is completely worse and makes the person crossing on the red light seem right in the end
I'm a commercial truck driver and those convex mirrors doesn't help you judge if your far enough past them to make a safe lane change! Only to help eliminate blind spots. I always use my true California mirror for distance. Maybe the driver with the dash cam was traveling in the left lane? That doesn't give anyone the right to tail gate, cut you off and in this case with Fed Ex, keep repeating until something happens! Some drivers shouldn't carry a CDL!!!
People like this even if he was having a bad day , don't do this . He could've killed you and maybe someone else going in the other direction and himself. And he calls himself a professional driver. What ever happened that started this he should have pulled over and calmed down and then on about his day. Today he'll he might have pulled out a gun and shot at you or your tires as he went by.
What are you talking about? I drive a lot on the highway and it's not semis driving like Douche bags. It's the dummies tailgating in the passing lane who all slam on their brakes at the same time and barely avoid causing accidents that are the problem. It's rare that 2 semis hold anybody up
As unpopular it might sound on the west side of the Atlantic, for this particular video I think the driver, who is most at fault is the one filming - clearly the red truck allows him to pass him, but then he stays for miles in the left lane, when the right lane is completely clear. I feel symphaty for the FedEx driver, and blame the driver filming. Not only he is blocking the whole highway, but he even dares to call the police. Being from Europe, having lived and driven in the US for many years, I can say for sure that the lane discipline (the lack of it) is one of the most dangerous factors on US highways (evidenced by the filming driver).
I too thought the guy filming was the problem in the beginning because he should have moved over into the right lane as the law states to allow faster traffic move on in the left lane. The FedEx guy was wrong with his road rage.
Did you leave out the part where you are hogging the passing Lane for 10 MI? Also it is very unsafe for other vehicles for you 2 be on the shoulder of an exit ramp.
The road doesn't belong to you karens. He was in the lane so long because the red truck sped up when he tried to pass him. You karens with your 30 min commute need to relax. We are on the road for 11 hrs a day and working up to 14 so go get a tissue u cry babies.
@@mindbulletz2803 It is u that doesn't know how to drive. The white truck was passing a slower red truck. The red truck shoulda let off it and let the white truck pass instead of speeding up and leaving him hanging out in the passing lane. This clip doesn't show how long the white truck was in the passing lane. It happens to me all the time. U come up on someone going slower than u, then u take the passing lane, as your fixing to pass them, they speed up. Cars and trucks alike do the same thing. My truck does 90 so I can stuff them behind me then slow back down to the cruise speed that I was going before they woke up. You don't have the facts so shut your beaters Karen.
You would think they would have a great deal of understanding for one another. To see another truck driver be so reckless and disregard the safety of other truckers... As well as everyone else is just disgusting.
@@blixxy1320 I guess you didn't get the part where I said if you drive a 65 Mph truck then stay out of the left lane......left lane is for outlaws and not governed mega carrier steering wheel holders. You cant act like this in a truck. They're both fools.
Police "can't do anything because they didn't see it themselves?" That's a new one. Since when do police not enforce laws because they didn't personally witness the crime? You've got the dashcam video. That's evidence. Examining the evidence and acting accordingly is the very basic function of their job.
he clearly was doing that on purpose. Should have called FedEx headquarters and gave them his Truck and Trailer Numbers ... they would have done something about it.
Man how can you help me on that, cs i been on this kind of situations, but when i have a road range with Fed Ex drivers, i call a lot of their offices and headquarters, and they just play stupid and say they cant do nothing about it, THERES NO WAY TO HOLD NOBODY AT FED EX companies to talk about it, thats why this Fed Ex drivers do whatever they want on the road.🤦🏻♂️👎
FedEx Ground drivers are not company drivers. They are contractors or are hired by the contractors. I work for FedEx Freight. We are company drivers. If someone called in a complaint with or without video, we would definitely hear about it from safety.
Yes because truckers should be more responsible than anyone else and they drive like they own everything. Come across in to opposite traffic to make a turn even when there is additional wide shoulders added so trucks with trailers have more than enough room to turn without doing that. They take forever to pass another truck or just block the road for 20 miles going back and forth. Speed and tailgate vehicles in slippery weather knowing they have more weight and need longer to stop if something should happen. Personally i think most haulers should have their liscense taken and have to pay for 6 week schooling again if they cant obey additional safety rules. You are not driving a car!
@@hwystar_4584 So... I take it you don't drive a truck. I have been a professional driver for 36 years. Truck drivers go through so much training and testing before they get behind the wheel. Drivers are set on a high standard. If driver's get into an accident ither there fault or not have to take a piss test and the dot looks at there daily logs to see if they are incomplince. Drivers have to take corners wide cause we are 75 feet long maybe longer. When you see a truck making a corner maybe you should give him room to turn. Trucks weight in a anywhere from 25000 lbs to 105500 lbs. So yea we are slow . Yes there are some inconsiderate driver's but not all are bad. Remember that EVERYTHING you get from the store or gas for your over priced SUV a truck was responsible for making sure you have what you need. I'd say quite your bitching about trucks and give them room an time and they will get out of your way
@@hwystar_4584 and if you watch your so called professional car driver's most of them can't drive. 75 percent of accidents between a car and a big truck is the car driver's fault
@@hwystar_4584... I love the way automobile drivers say, "truck drivers think they own the road.", when in reality, there are more automobile drivers "bullying" trucks than the other way around. ALL of the cars accelerate as fast as they can the moment a truck's turn signal comes on... no matter how far back they are. Car drivers bully trucks, because they know how much we would prefer NOT to be in a collision. It's a risky game they play.
This happened to me once in my subaru. I was in the right lane going 65 in a 65 then a trucker comes up behind, clips my bike on the back left side, then proceeds to start merging back into my lane just after his cab passes me, effectively running me off the roadway. I called the police and they smugly said that there was nothing they could do unless I wanted to face him in court for months. I was pretty worked up to say the least 🙂
The best thing to do in cases like this is email the video to the safety department and tell them that in 1 week it will be on the news if no action is taken.
Plaster it all over social media... and then email THE LINKS to their safety department... and CC: state and local police for the area where it took place. That should cover it.
Exactly. Say this thing results in an accident, even if the Fedex guy was a total douche and totally at fault (looks like he is) you have an obligation to do everything necessary to avoid an accident. Even if it means slowing down or even pulling over to put some distance between yourselves (and let tempers cool). Saying…”your honor, the guy was a total dick, and here’s my dash cam footage showing what a dick he is” isn’t a defense and doesn’t release you from your obligation to do everything necessary to avoid the accident. Maybe one day, these a#&holes will get their payback, but not today.
You have to realize that cops do not work for you they work for the aristocracy. Best to completely avoid calling police and deal with situations yourself.
@@TwoFingeredMamma yes If I’m getting shot it with no where to cover becides a car, nothing to fight back with. I shouldn’t call 911? I shall punch them. My gosh you sound stupid.
@@tomatosoupwoo So.... do cops magically appear when you call them these days. That's cool they must have invented teleportation at Area 51 and released it for our benefit.
Put your right blinker on slow down to 55,get in the right lane and when they are both well over the horizon forget about them and go on with your day.
I'm the slowest on the road and my bosses hate it. They're the ones that gave me a governed truck that can't keep traffic happy, so I just mope along in the slow lane
@@brickson98m who's stupid? How long did he spend in the left lane? Notice the cars shoot past when they get a chance? He was blocking traffic. Look in the right mirror, before and after his edit around 00:31. You can see that he had ample opportunity to move to the right. He was holding that left lane during the entire edit. The FedEx guy waited a good while to speed up.
All corporate-owned trucks should have cams and mics installed in hidden locations both inside and outside and the driver not told about it to catch shit like this, then there's undeniable evidence against a driver who drives/acts dangerously on the road and/or trashes the cabin just because "they can". Though the FedEx driver that's driving recklessly in this vid is bound to come across someone who won't hesitate to run them down and potentially send them to an early grave and driving off like nothing happened.
My experience with Fedex drivers is they are the ones doing 70+mph through work zones, switching lanes on crowded highways with no signal etc.... very unprofessional, dangerous drivers and i know it's the culture there bc i was a ground delivery guy for years and every contractor expects 2 workers of output from every 1 worker
Typical. I worked at a copper mine as a crusher mechanic. Then they put me as a belt rider ( ore belt repair) which included crusher mechanics and maintenance. They then fired 5 laborers and gave those jobs to me as well. The only justice I got once I was laid off was they had to hire 6 laborers, a crusher mechanic and a belt rider (belt repair) to replace me. That was sweet. They since have gone out of business. When companies start pushing like that usually they aren't long for this world. It's time to find a better job, which I did!
@@Lenny-gj8jw No the video shows what he did but not why. If his truck is governed to 65 mph max he has no reason to ever be in the hammer lane unless it's moving over for an emergency vehicle on the shoulder of the road
Semi and commercial veh drivers should be arrested for leaving the right most lane a passenger vehicles cited for driving in left lane. Keeping comercial vehicles in the right lane would solve a lot of problems
How do police issue tickets after crashes, they're not there when it happens? They have to investigate and gather evidence , but not in this case. Must be donut hour🥴🍩🍩🍩
It's not the police departments fault of the laws that get implemented by the politicians u elected. Traffic violations cannot be issued unless its witnessed by the police officer is 100% accurate. I thought everyone knew that. Take the video to the local judicial officer. Judicial officer can issue the citation. Police officer has to witness it. By taking the video to a police officer and say cite this man, the cammer basically went to Burger King to get a McGriddle. Traffic accidents are a completely different scenario and shouldn't even be considered as comparable to this. No property damage was done, insurance will no have to be involved.
@@steveriley1000 there's nothing that states drunk driving here. Submitting the video doesn't do anything. He should have called the police and said a semi truck is trying to run me off the road, etc. They will dispatch an officer there. But sending in a video, they will look at u and say, what do u want me to do with this? When I started construction, I was a flagger. Reported a vehicle for constantly running my sign. They can't do anything until they see it, so they parked off the street, saw it and issued her a citation. Point is, the system works if you know how to work it. My experience, they're zero tolerance with construction zones and truckers.
@@Stryker11able I realize there was nothing that says it was drunk driving, what I mean is that that’s one of the calls they will try to do something about , if you report it as a drunk driver Swerving and cutting off others . But video should be all that is needed if it’s geo time stamped as evidence that is . But I get it ! I had a Schneider truck hit me one day on st rt 42 in Ohio , he stopped in the road and proceeded to back up in to my van . Then he jumps out and ask med why I hit him. So he pulls off into a parking lot , I kept my vehicle where it was and advised he do the same , so I took pics of his truck the roadway . Long story short had it bot been for video and pics I was getting charged white hitting him. My pics showed his trailer over my skid marks where I had my brakes on and he pushed me 20’ backwards , the video from a building showed him backing up on the state rt 42 . He claimed he never backed up ! He got cited for the accident! So you would think if it’s good enough for investing it should be good enough for police to get a road rage driver off the road even if for a timeout anf to know you can’t just get away with wreckless driving .
How come you don't goes to the right lane when passing the red truck 🤔? What happened before that? The FedEx must have it own dashcam from it own different point of views.
He was passing at 65.6 a truck that was doing 65. So it toke this guy around 12 miles to pass, there is a reason why he don't show all video. Granted FedEx should never done that but it's for asholes like this we all have bad reputation. Trying to pass 65 doing 65.6 or 7 for 13 miles it's not fun getting stuck behind those asholes
There would be no company if it weren't for the drivers this driver doesn't represent all the drivers just like police don't represent all police this is just One bad Apple
In Australia I'd follow him to the next truck stop and put some sort man killing venomous bug in his cab. Seems like everything is Australia is poisonous enough to kill a dozen grown men... I think y'all even have houseflies that'll kill a horse. Every damn thing is lethal there.
As a cdl a driver. When this happens,and it does. I just slow down for 10 minutes and let them go by. It's not worth it to get mad. Your job. Your life and others lives , aren't worth it too road rage. Grow up boys...
There’s no such thing as hot freight nothing is worth dying over or killing someone over because your in a rush it always cools down before it reaches its destination !
I've had a CDL since 2004 (school bus driver), when situation like this occurs (whether I have passengers on board or not), I just let them go (both truckers and/or auto motorists) and have them get as far away from me as possible. At least, all of our school buses have dash cams.
You know what would prevent this from happening? Use the left lane as a passing lane instead of cruising in it blocking traffic. I don't agree with what FedEx did but still. Get out of the way. What a waste of a 911 call. Then you follow him. Move on with your life
I absolutely agree!!! The driver that made this video is just as much at fault as anyone. GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE !!!! When you block the fast lane you cause drivers to have to swerve into other lanes to get around you. People that block the fast lane are IDIOTS!!!!!
... He was trying to pass the red truck, he literally stated that earlier. He couldn't move to the right again because A) That Red truck sped up and B) The Fed Ex came up closely behind him.
Only a few of Fedex departments are actual fedex drivers the rest are contractors. Also now with UPS reducing their LTL line they're now the biggest carrier out there. So by chance alone that makes sense if there are more Fedex trucks on the road. Most times its the ground guys who give FEDEX a bad name.
The guy in the red truck was an A-HOLE! I get this all the time, my truck is limited, so I wont attempt a pass unless I've been gaining on another vehicle...4 wheelers included...for quite some time AND I have a big gap. I'm gaining ground on whoever for the longest time, then when I pull out to pass they speed up to either match me or just 1MPH more than me GRRRRR.
My truck is not governed but at times for whatever reason, I may be running slow, forget to resume cruise control, or whatever and another truck (governed “company truck”) decides to overtake me. I simply acknowledge that I’m the idiot driving slow and let them pass and let it be for a mile or so before I come back around!
@@63stratoman At least you acknowledged it and don't leave the poor guy / gal out there in the left lane hanging out to dry and everyone starts passing on the right giving the salute and you can't get back over. I applaud you for letting him / her at least get back over.
The red truck was trying to let this dummy he refused to get out the left lane so he went on this guy was holding up traffic he didn’t show what really went on
@@ronnielewis2176 And you know what really went on because you were there? This happens to me time and time again, pull out to pass and then they speed up and leave me out there hanging and I can't get back till everyone passes. The Fed-Ex truck was pissed, but HE like YOU didn't know what happened. This guy pulled out to pass the red truck, the red truck sped up and this guy got trapped in the left lane, couldn't get back because no one would let him because they're all passing on the right.
0:32 DUDE, you could have gotten back over there no? Holy crap that was a long ass time in the left lane. especially if you max out at 65mph. just stay in the right dude. anyway cool video.
Totally agree. This bloke was causing the roadrage. Too slow, blocking the lane. Red truck had enough, so did the FedEx guy. He should of just stayed in the convoy, safer for all and roadrage could have been avoided. He couldn't maintain a faster speed anyway. I can't stand getting stuck behind a truck trying to overtake another for the sake of 1 or 2 miles an hour. Absolutely ridiculous.
@@sandlmv8301 Red truck had enough of driving at the slower speed he was already at? And if the FedEx driver was in so much of a hurry to get by, the hell's he slowing down for once he's passed? Nah. You can't blame this on the cammer, even if he did hang out too long. Edit: Actually, FedEx never made any attempt to overtake red, so I'm guessing what red was actually sick of was being tailgated.
I just want to know why truck drivers think it's okay to block the left lane trying to pass another truck and it takes 10 miles to finally make a pass? Meanwhile you've held up 20 miles of traffic! And if they think you're not going to let them out to make said 10 mile long pass, they just dart out in front of you!
Well if you'd ever been a truck driver with a speed limited truck stuck behind another truck or passenger car doing 5 under the limit for an hour, then finally pulled into the passing Lane only to have that driver then SPEED UP when you get alongside and match your speed you'd understand it's usually not the truck who is now in the passing Lane who is causing the situation. It drives truckers insane to have to deal with this over and over all day long with pissed off drivers behind you honking and giving you the finger ( it's not me, it's the a**hole in the right lane that wants to go slow until I attempt to pass that suddenly found his gas pedal, trapping me side by side in the passing Lane!). I've had situations where a car would be slowing me down to 5 under the limit for HOURS doing this, then when you finally do get past them, two minutes later they fly past you at 15 over the limit and pull in front of you just to slow down to 5 under again to start the process all over again.... Another common situation is approaching a mountain incline with someone in front of you dropping down to ten under for no reason nearing the bottom of the hill. When you've got a full load the approach speed makes all the difference so getting around them to maintain speed is a big deal. If you don't it's going to result in having to downshift and crawl up the mountain at 20 mph with your flashers on instead of climbing it at the speed limit. 9 times out of ten cars in the left lane see you want to get over and punch their gas pedal to prevent it having no clue that THEY are the ones causing the tractor trailers to go so slow. People are just clueless
@@DC-nj9gw In NSW Australia once you are off your learner license you are put on a provisional license for 12 months. When on this license you have a max speed limit of 90km/h, meaning even when driving on a highway with a 110km/h speed limit you have to go 90. For hours upon hours you will force every single motorist to change lanes and go around you, including massive trucks. Such a joke.
Trucks drivers acting like they own the road. Imagine that. I have been in the fleet business for 20 years and it is astounding when truck drivers (especially ones blocking the left lane when you k ow you are limited to 65mph) piss of every driver on the road and wonder why they get folks pissed off. To see 2 of them going at it, even more hilarious.
@Someone Junior Most big companies are governed,which means they can only run 65.Thats cause the company gets much cheaper insurance rates.Owner operators are maxed out
@Someone Junior No problem man.Too many A holes in the world.Many of these so called truck drivers drive way to fast.Many are rude, and have no courtesy. IVE BEEN DRIVI G 25 YRS,DID 21 YRS IN THE MILITARY.Every company also has lease opreators..out think they are jot shit,but they have expenses.Im a company drivwr,driver, means I don't pay for fuel,or nothing.You take care
the only reason this situation happens is because one of the drivers can't lift his or her big fat foot off the gas pedal, they have to get 1 more MPH on the other truck
@@dons8122 Well first you need to improve your writing skills,second I drove a semi, accident free and no property damage for 20 years. And third, my truck averaged 74 mph and I was always the better person and backed off when the fat footed driver had to get 1 or 2 more mph than me.
@@ernestpassaro9663 not really a true pissing contest. It's more like a contest to see who can dribble more piss down their own leg. I get behind so many trucks that can't even make 65 mph in the left lane when the limit is 75 mph. And they edge up and back for miles trying to pass one another.
You could have saved yourself a bunch of time and stress by just pulling off and checking your load and letting that idiot get down the road. It's not worth it.
@@ernestpassaro9663 He wasn't driving a slow truck in the left lane,he was going the speed limit like everybody should and not speed,so he's not stupid,just the FedEx driver is.
@Mike P Scott nothing wrong with a convoy if they're all doing the speed limit. It's just a safe way to travel. When they try to play cowboys is when some idiot thinks he's better off going 2mph faster. If he wants to break off and go 4mph+ faster then that's fine. Don't hang in the over taking lane waiting for your truck to magically go faster when it can't! - which is the case for the driver in this video. Convoys are good d for fuel consumption too. Everyone takes their turn up front on long runs. This is smart Truck driving. 26 cents a mile is crazy good consumption. Surely that's recorded in a convoy slipstream. Is that a fully loaded train?
I've seen the reason for this anger many times in my 63 year driving career. Especially on I-40 west of Memphis, Tn. which is loaded with trucks. Because of governors most trucks can't pass like they used to but they try anyway and wind up blocking the passing lane for miles. You think that doesn't lead to frustration? I have been caught up in that MANY times and the urge to kill is overwhelming. I finally looked and found an alternate route just so I wouldn't have to put up with thoughtless, uncaring truck drivers anymore. I suspect this idiot filming the interaction did the same thing to the FedEx driver. The myth that truck drivers are the best drivers is and always has been, PURE BS.
I've been a truck 🚚 driver my father was a driver one of the best back when u had to change gears with both hands with ur arm through the wheel and my brother's a dam good driver too dad taught us both and although dangerous what he did with doubles his ass shouldn't have been in the left lane the passing lane getting past on the right I'm assuming that was flat land so I'm assuming he's governed at 65 and should stay in the slow 🐌 lane except for emergencies and emergency pass, because that's what the FedEx driver saw 👀 was a truck blocking 🚫 the fast lane while getting past on the right and able to be past by a truck pulling doubles. When he pulled up along side he should've slowed down and got over period instead of following and calling state Boys like some woke 🚚 driver nonsense we handle ourselves out there.
It seems to me like you’ve pissed him off cause you were driving slow on the fast lane..duh! Those FedEx drivers aren’t slow down for anyone cause they have to get to their destination or don’t wanna missed their cargo flights
That's bullshit. Fed Ex holds up traffic every day. Are you one of those who hold me up? One would think that their light loads wouldn't slow them down much.
@chris skidmore get over it? It happens to me 3 or 4 times a day. No, not anymore. I don't move out of my lane anymore and I don't back off the throttle. We all have schedules and nobody is more important than anyone else.
So Hey trucker, what was the result of calling the police & showing them your dashcam footage? I am extremely eager to hear their response. A reckless driving ticket for the fedex truck and possibly an illegal lane usage ticket for the - Cam trucker or at least a scolding
This driver is quite dangerous and needs help for sure. He/she is in a mental place that could easily cost the lives of others as well as do massive vehicular damage. I'm shocked that law enforcement wouldn't use your dash cam video as clear-cut proof of the incident. Isn't that the whole reason for having dash cams??? Be safe out there, God bless!!!
Drove for years OTR. Happened more times than I care to remember. Depends what state what town you're in. The ones you need to call is the highway patrol. They're ready to pounce on commercial truck drivers. City police and Sheriff's departments really could care less. What is nice is having the dashcam documenting tractor numbers, time, and date. One copy sent to their employer, the other to their insurance company. You may never hear of it, but they're likely out of a job. All companies hurt for drivers but they also can't be hurt by drivers. Just as irritating is dumb asses in cars who will cut you off just to make that turn thinking you can stop on a dime. And they fully feel if you hit them they get a payoff. Those days are mostly over since the day of the dashcam. If only they realized every single thing they have in their life doesn't have just one truck involved but literally dozens from start to finish from the raw materials produced that product to the retail store. Many times it's many big rigs to produce one part and there could be hundreds of parts. That's why everything is shutting down now by Design but that's another story.
I was an insurance adjuster following a car on a four lane hwy, trucker in the left lane. The car and I were in the right lane. Saw the car try to pull in front of the truck when even with the truckers front bumper. Of course accident happened. I went on to work and called the police for that town.. the police thanked me several times because the car tried to claim that the trucker went over the line. I handled a lot of truck/auto accidents.
Truckers have the highest incidence of HEART DISEASE/HEART ATTACKS , very unhealthy lifestyle , bad diet , high blood pressure, very high stress , high incidence of divorces , but they are not paid enough .
No. The driver is in the wrong. Around 30 seconds in he cuts 60-ish seconds of him holding the left lane at low speeds. He got into the left lane to pass, but then proceeded to drive slower than the rest of the traffic causing the left lane FedEx driver to have to go around. Around 1:25 you can see the FedEx driver motion with his hand asking the driver in this recording to slow down so he can merge, as the FedEx driver is travelling at higher velocity and wants to take the fast lane. Instead of slowing down slightly, merging to the right, waiting a few seconds for the FedEx driver to merge etc., he decides to hold his velocity knowing damn well that the FedEx driver is about to get over so he can piss and moan about how FedEx should hold their lane. He antagonized the entire event. The FedEx driver was probably just wondering why the guy behind him was being such a moron over a simple lane merge. All he had to do was let off the gas for a few seconds or tap the brakes and let FedEx merge - he clearly hand signaled and the polite thing to do would be let him merge. The driver in this video was in no rush anyway, so why take the fast lane?
@@jonny6702 it doesn’t really matter that he cut out that minute. You can see that the fed ex guy was coming up behind the red truck at a high rate. You cannot 1) slow down in the passing lane to pass from behind into the right lane nor 2) merge back when a faster moving vehicle is clearly at risk of impacting you from behind if you did so. This explains why he’s in the left lane so long. He needs that Fed Ex driver to pass him first so he can move back to the right and he doesn’t want to slow down in the left lane since that could be dangerous depending on the circumstances. The Fed Ex driver should have continued at the same rate of speed or slowed down to allow the guy to merge back right and then overtake him. This is all the fault of the red truck because that driver wasn’t paying attention or something and then decides to accelerate when being overtaken. This nonsense happens all the time. Stupid drivers and their egos. Doesn’t matter what they’re driving.
Not a truck driver myself, but I've always felt like while driving a truck as a career, you have an obligation to drive safely. Those trucks are certainly dangerous when they get in wrecks and you also have the obligation of getting your freight to it's destination safely and in a timely manner.
I've been driving for a long time I've driven in the worst snow storms ever in flag staff and I'm saying six foot driffs and 92%of all trucks in those diffs where them
Truck drivers have stricter requirements as well, like one moving violation and you can have your license revoked. DUI is a career ender for a truck driver or should be, for obvious reasons.
Cars don’t seem to care how “dangerous” a truck is . They cut u off . Slam on brakes trying to exit . Speed up when u turn a blinker on and get mad cause you weren’t asking for permission to come over .
Truckers with faster trucks hate being passed they would risk everything to keep you from passing them, they try to save fuel but when I try to pass them they speed up I deal with these idiots almost everyday a truckers ego is savage
I'm not sticking up for the FedEx driver one bit. He was driving like a total idiot. The truck with the dash cam had no right being in the passing lane. He didn't have enough motor to get pass the red rig..
You were asking for trouble and you got it... fedex pulled over to see if you had a problem and you backed off... what was the point of pulling over behind him on the exit?
Even today the Fed ex drivers are highly aggressive. I've seen them normally go 70 in the left lane in a 55. They are basically kids driving these rigs. Be careful out there. Fed ex drivers are highly aggressive
just because you have a dash cam it doesn't mean you should enforce traffic laws, you're not a police officer. You can contact the police and the FedEx drivers employer but don't follow him.
Curious why if you are speed limited, that you are on left lane anyway. Just stay in right. Also if another driver is being an ass why do you not back off and let him go? Be the big boy. If I was Police I would suggest you drive better also.
He was passing someone who was going way slow and then they speeded up and passed him in the right lane. Before he could get over to the right, the fed ex truck passed him on the right.
The driver recording this was going 65 in the left lane, which is the posted Speed Limit because the governor on his truck would not go any faster. He should not be in the left lane. He should be in the right lane. The left lane is a passing lane. All he did was cause a clusterfuck behind him and made other drivers pass him on the right, which is more dangerous than going 5*10 miles over the limit. This poster caused the entire situation because he is one of the many jerkoffs that hog the left lane. The FedEx Driver shouldn't have played cat and mouse like that on the road like that, but this poster was happy to play along also. I would get them both off the road
In the beginning, this driver was passing red truck. The Red truck driver being passed then accelerated, blocking the driver in left lane from passing, which is illegal in most states I know, because of the very situation this caused, the so called clusterfuckk you mentioned. FedEX only made matters worse by passing on right further preventing this driver from properly passing. 2 dumb asses in right lane who felt entitled caused this situation.
@@TheDrummer51 ... Hell, I don't need videos to come to that realization!... I see it all the time!... The greater percentage of them are Reckless Idiots that think they have superior skills, capability, and priority over everyone else on the road!... And 9 times out of 10 it gets them into a situation they don't have the skill or experience to get themselves back out of!
I would have called fedex they would love to hear from you i did this one time i gave them the trailer numbers/license plates etc.. they told me they knew exactly who the driver was i gave them my email address and they sent me some info and told me that driver was fired for endangering the public
Let me guess... The fact that you have parked yourself in the left... The lane reserved for passing only is irrelevant! Some advice... If you want to drive slower... Drive in the right lane! Maybe you will not piss people off!
He was in the process of passing the red truck, which then decided to pass him on the right (isn't that a no-no) and then the fedex truck passed, again on the right, nearly clipping his right front ...... He hadn't had a chance to pull over before the ass driving the red truck decided to play chicken with him. And, regardless of where he was driving, the fedex driver was a menace on the road.
It's tough innocently hogging the outside lane as you get ready to overtake a truck that's in the next state, when all of a sudden two trucks undertake you, and you become a full-on victim of road rage - directed at them.
In another state??? Are you in an altered state? He is passing the red truck, almost makes it far enough past him to move over when the red truck speeds up. FedEx runs up the right side blocking him from moving over
I almost got mowed over on the freeway by a FedEx box truck on my motorcycle then they proceeded to slam on the brakes just to make an exit.. literally almost killed me just to move up one spot. It was some cracked out lookin lady
This (the red truck) is what I encounter with almost every other driver on the road these days. The actions of the FedEx driver are just all too common as well. We seem to be devolving into a state of utter "lawlessness" on our roads.
Drivers like the one in the red truck piss me off to no end. Pick a speed and stick with it. He should’ve known the camera truck was trying to pass him so just let him. Don’t just speed up at the last second and make his action be for nothing.
I once enlisted an out of work CDL driver next door neighbor when COVID just started, to drive me to a very far city to visit my only son since I'm constraint to fly due to the pandemic. He is my son's age, we pre-agreed on the fee - my son's very nice well maintained Honda Accord with no blemish or dents, well kept record of maintenance. The reason of my son's generosity was for him to keep an eye on me and both came from the military. My trust in his driving abilities was unwarranted. It was a harrowing 12 hours which I kept secret from my son. He promptly wrecked the Honda in a few mos. He also wrecked his next vehicle. Worked on and off as truck driver even after (how he managed to do that is beyond me). Now his current vehicle (third from our Honda) also a Honda is totalled sitting in his carport. This truck driver wrecked 3 cars in a span of 2 yrs since the pandemic . His drivers license should be cancelled as well as his CDL. I used to be not scared of truckers but now I certainly do. WTH.
I drove double pup trailers for Schneider. They had contracts with YRC. I was always delayed at every YRC yard I went to and I just slowed down a lot to conserve fuel and limit the craziness that happens at 65 MPH with all these trucks governed at 65 except CR england at 63 and carrol Fulmer at 62. It raised my fuel bonus and did not affect how long it took to get my new set of boxes for the next leg. I was also a team truck and that is enough stress without all the other driving nonsense a commercial driver has to deal with.
@@ernestpassaro9663 Yup red truck guy was angry at the beginning. What he's not showing is the footage beforehand of him sitting in that lane for the past 10 minutes. Didn't have the balls to post that though

When this kind of crap used to happened to me, when I was still driving, I would just pull over and wet a tire, or check my chains or straps, and/or check my tires. In the few minutes that it took for me to do so the source of my aggravation was 3 or 4 miles down the road and I didn’t have to deal with them again. It was much easier than dealing with people like this and the anger and anxiety that they cause. Life is too short to let things like this get to you.
Yea I don't drive trailers but I get this on my commute often. I'll just move over and let them get way ahead of me then I go back to doing my thing. Funny thing is I always end up passing the tough guy with out them even noticing
Absolutely
Smart. Nice way to stop the anger and anxiety from coming. We need more good drivers like you.
You did not retaliate, you just waited so he did not bother you.
well said
Better than the police, call their Safety Department and get an email address. Then email the video. Believe me, Safety will be on the phone with him in 10 minutes.
Safety will have him in the closest terminal and probably fired.
@@garyvolkmann3647 If that were true, they would have to terminate over half of their drivers. They are hands down the most aggressive drivers as a company.
They no longer care about driver safety. They are a hands off organization just to protect their bogus independent contractor model.
@Blue Lobster I've never worked for either. But will be otr for 30 years this May. I've been cut off by more FedEx drivers than all others combined!
I worked safety for them for 10 years. I and others quit when they stopped doing driver safety. It’s up to their independent contractor to teach them safety. FedEx Ground Safety will not call the driver, they will call the truck owner and leave it up to them if they do something or not. These owners need drivers too bad.
Just like most road rage drivers, he was in such a rush that he had time to slow down.
He thought he was in a position to teach someone a lesson. He wasn't. And he didn't. Bet he *learned* one though
I Drove trucks in the 80s from sea to shining sea, and I never experienced such child-like behavior, of total disregard, and lack of professionalism, but that seems to be the way of the world these days. - Godspeed
It’s not like it used to be. 🙁 it’s a whole new generation.

@@vogelvogeltje Not what I said. I said "I never EXPERIENCED such child-like behavior, or total disregard, and lack of professionalism". I'm sure there were plenty of jack asses driving trucks, but there were a lot less people in the world at that time and I can speak with 60 years of life that there were way fewer angry people, also CB radio was the only communcation we had with the outside world so if you had a beef with another driver you just said your piece, but I never had another driver behave so dangerously. I'm sure it happened, just not me. I found in my years of driving that the good people way out weighed the bad. - Godspeed
I was driving on a snowy highway in Pennsylvania, a few years ago (in a pickup). I had a FedEx driver, (with 2 trailers, like this one) run up on my ass as I was in the right lane, going about 50 due to the road conditions. He layed on his horn, like I was doing something wrong and passed me, nearly catching my back bumper. Then he sped up even more. There was a long curve in the road, and about 5 miles ahead, I caught up with him. Only, at this point, his truck and trailers were on their side. Karma.
Yea fuck them
I hope you honked and waved on your way by. LOL

Kris you’re the one at fault, get out of the left lane you’re the problem

If you followed him to the loves I bet he woulda shit bricks. Every ones a tough guy til you confront them

I'm a regular car driver, and that happened to ME with a child in my car in a very hard rainstorm! I called the police because I thought I HAD been hit (it was seriously that close; later I had no visible damage though). No dash cam, but after I passed crazy trucker and he SPED UP like he was going to run me over, I got off the next exit as dispatcher lady instructed and the police overtook him on exit ramp 😂 WHEW! I didn't have to file the report: they SAW it! And they called me later to make sure I'd had my car looked at for damages. It was literally terrifying.
Be careful of bonehead drivers
Why didn't you get out of the way? Always seems to be someone acting a fool
Call Fed Ex and give them the info.
They don't want law suits.
@Faggot Rotten Then sue FedEx for not doing anything. He clearly has proof. It would be an easy personal defense lawsuit.
Hope you called the police and let them see your video
@Faggot Rotten Sure. But what you're "suggesting" will only work if the FedEx driver is high on drugs.
It’s ground not freight, they are contracted out. They won’t do anything
Snitches get stiches!
1:28, the FedEx driver politely motions for him to slow down, so he can merge. We saw you edit the film to hid how long you were in the left lane
Yup, at 0:28 he cuts out a whole minute in which he was strolling along in the passing lane when he probably had plenty of opportunity to get back over to the right.
Damnnnnnn great detective work
Yup. You got it right.
I can't believe how much aggressive rubbish I had to read till finally finding someone else who noticed the filmer's poor lane discipline. He had ample time to return to the right lane after first passing the red truck (see in wing mirror). He was driving provocatively on a couple of occasions in my opinion. And please, the volume of the bad language bleeps nearly burst my eardrums through headphones, totally unnecessary. Rubbish vid.
This should be the top comment
This is why when I retired I gave up my CDL A. Professional drivers are sure lacking and only going to get worse with driver shortage. Always run a dash cam to protect your license and be safe.
@Indians Auto Why, because it's not easy to let go of something you made your living with. I do know many retirees that keep their CDL
@Indians Auto dont inject yourself into something you know nothing about.
@Indians Auto You can still use it for small stuff, there’s many companies that will pay retired CDL holders to drive Mack trucks and other larger vehicles you need a special license to drive from point A to point B. It’s a good way to make money after retiring.
The best use of a CDL (Class 1 in Canada) is to get gigs with film companies- it's a blast :) It is hard to let go, I'd had mine 30 years, and for a girl back then it was an accomplishment.
@@boogie1354 you could have kept it and just not used it. Durpadurrrrrr
I used to work for FedEx ground. Its an EXTREMELY stressful job, therefore, NO stressed out FedEx driver's should be allowed on the road!! Too dangerous for other driver's and themselves. The anger u feel in this job is unlikely any other. FedEx driver's:
STOP taking your stressful job out on other truck drivers! You're ALL on the same mission
Maybe driving was just stressful for u. I have no stress driving for FedEx ground . I’m never pressured . There is no incentive rushing . Nobody cares if u rush or drive normal . If u don’t like driving them you’re in the wrong business
CDL needs to be revoked! He has two trailers and is as reckless, if not more so, than people with road rage in regular cars. You were so calm and kept it professional and very respectful to others on the road. Amazing job, Mr.Tex! I'm glad you are okay!!!! 🖤
Fed x wasn't the problem the driver that was in the left lane was the problem I drove 43 years and you just don't drive the left lane unless your passind

The cammer edited the video to avoid showing that he was hogging the left lane. At 0:29 you can see in the side view mirror that it is safe for the cammer to change lanes back to the right lane. Look at the time stamp on the bottom right as it then skips from 14:37:50 to 14:38:40. The cammer was cruising in the left lane that entire time which is probably why the red truck followed by the FedEx truck then passed on the right. That doesn't excuse what the FedEx truck did, but it shows what the trucker did to evoke that response.
Thank you for this post. It was clear to me that the cam guy was the Ahole from the start. He stuck to the left lane like he owned it, making everyone go around him. The FedEx driver was mad and did cut him off a little to let him know this, but Mr cam stuck to his lane and speed like a stubborn mule, and gave the FedEx guy a horn job and probably the finger from the way he went off on the FedEx driver. The fact that Mr cam deleted the police conversation with 911 and the video at the truck stop, tells me Mr cam got increasingly belligerent, denied any wrong doing, and told by the police to get lost.
Well if that is true, all he did was drive on a road lane. What the others did was stupid and dangerous. What he did was maybe careless or stupid , but at least he didnt almost kill anyone, he was just driving on the road. What the other driver did could ve easily cost the life of like 10+ people if a crash happened on the highway. Even if you see someone hogging the left lane, just fucking drive, maybe honk or get his plate number or get him on your dashcam, but dont go up and try to kill him and you and everyone nearby, THAT is just fucking stupid. Be the bigger person and let it go, but by acting this way you become the dumbest of the bunch. Like sure a pedestrian crossing on a red light is dumb, but running after him to fucking punch him is completely worse and makes the person crossing on the red light seem right in the end
I'm a commercial truck driver and those convex mirrors doesn't help you judge if your far enough past them to make a safe lane change! Only to help eliminate blind spots. I always use my true California mirror for distance. Maybe the driver with the dash cam was traveling in the left lane? That doesn't give anyone the right to tail gate, cut you off and in this case with Fed Ex, keep repeating until something happens! Some drivers shouldn't carry a CDL!!!
Ahh yes. The old semis in both lanes holding everyone up bit. Good stuff.
Oh well... you can wait.
People like this even if he was having a bad day , don't do this . He could've killed you and maybe someone else going in the other direction and himself. And he calls himself a professional driver. What ever happened that started this he should have pulled over and calmed down and then on about his day. Today he'll he might have pulled out a gun and shot at you or your tires as he went by.

What are you talking about? I drive a lot on the highway and it's not semis driving like Douche bags. It's the dummies tailgating in the passing lane who all slam on their brakes at the same time and barely avoid causing accidents that are the problem. It's rare that 2 semis hold anybody up
Damn near every FedEx Ground driver is just as dangerous as this one, both trailer and package van.
As unpopular it might sound on the west side of the Atlantic, for this particular video I think the driver, who is most at fault is the one filming - clearly the red truck allows him to pass him, but then he stays for miles in the left lane, when the right lane is completely clear. I feel symphaty for the FedEx driver, and blame the driver filming. Not only he is blocking the whole highway, but he even dares to call the police. Being from Europe, having lived and driven in the US for many years, I can say for sure that the lane discipline (the lack of it) is one of the most dangerous factors on US highways (evidenced by the filming driver).
I too thought the guy filming was the problem in the beginning because he should have moved over into the right lane as the law states to allow faster traffic move on in the left lane. The FedEx guy was wrong with his road rage.
Completely agree. And its all an ego thing.
Yep, slow bastards need to get out of the way. That left lane is for crime 😈 🏁 🏎
It is against the law to pass on the right ✅ just western culture seen a lot of road rage in Europe videos.
@Jo Zim Already went back to the civilized part of the world mate.
Did you leave out the part where you are hogging the passing Lane for 10 MI? Also it is very unsafe for other vehicles for you 2 be on the shoulder of an exit ramp.
Yeah it drives me nuts. They need to stay in their lane.
The road doesn't belong to you karens. He was in the lane so long because the red truck sped up when he tried to pass him. You karens with your 30 min commute need to relax. We are on the road for 11 hrs a day and working up to 14 so go get a tissue u cry babies.

Police "can't do anything because they didn't see it themselves?" That's a new one. Since when do police not enforce laws because they didn't personally witness the crime? You've got the dashcam video. That's evidence. Examining the evidence and acting accordingly is the very basic function of their job.
It has always been that way bro. Stop light cameras were ruled illegal for that reason.

Of course the police are not going to do anything but if a four wheeler was to call in a big truck they would set up an all state road block for it.
don't forget the .50 cal, snipers, bomb disposal and the armored riot trucks!!
Yes because truckers should be more responsible than anyone else and they drive like they own everything. Come across in to opposite traffic to make a turn even when there is additional wide shoulders added so trucks with trailers have more than enough room to turn without doing that. They take forever to pass another truck or just block the road for 20 miles going back and forth. Speed and tailgate vehicles in slippery weather knowing they have more weight and need longer to stop if something should happen. Personally i think most haulers should have their liscense taken and have to pay for 6 week schooling again if they cant obey additional safety rules. You are not driving a car!
@@hwystar_4584 So... I take it you don't drive a truck. I have been a professional driver for 36 years. Truck drivers go through so much training and testing before they get behind the wheel. Drivers are set on a high standard. If driver's get into an accident ither there fault or not have to take a piss test and the dot looks at there daily logs to see if they are incomplince. Drivers have to take corners wide cause we are 75 feet long maybe longer. When you see a truck making a corner maybe you should give him room to turn. Trucks weight in a anywhere from 25000 lbs to 105500 lbs. So yea we are slow . Yes there are some inconsiderate driver's but not all are bad. Remember that EVERYTHING you get from the store or gas for your over priced SUV a truck was responsible for making sure you have what you need. I'd say quite your bitching about trucks and give them room an time and they will get out of your way
@@hwystar_4584 and if you watch your so called professional car driver's most of them can't drive. 75 percent of accidents between a car and a big truck is the car driver's fault
@@hwystar_4584...
I love the way automobile drivers say, "truck drivers think they own the road.", when in reality, there are more automobile drivers "bullying" trucks than the other way around.
ALL of the cars accelerate as fast as they can the moment a truck's turn signal comes on... no matter how far back they are.
Car drivers bully trucks, because they know how much we would prefer NOT to be in a collision.
It's a risky game they play.
Yet another example of two wrongs don't make a right.
Amen.

@@Rotorhead1651 read it slower and louder a couple of times
This happened to me once in my subaru. I was in the right lane going 65 in a 65 then a trucker comes up behind, clips my bike on the back left side, then proceeds to start merging back into my lane just after his cab passes me, effectively running me off the roadway. I called the police and they smugly said that there was nothing they could do unless I wanted to face him in court for months. I was pretty worked up to say the least 🙂
And this is how murders happen imao
that infuriated me just reading that story. stupid how this world works sometimes.
The best thing to do in cases like this is email the video to the safety department and tell them that in 1 week it will be on the news if no action is taken.
Plaster it all over social media... and then email THE LINKS to their safety department... and CC: state and local police for the area where it took place.
That should cover it.
The media covering this story in current times.. *"Tonight at 5, a trucker with Covid is hospitalized, as numbers continue to skyrocket.."* 😂
There's a lack of courtesies on both drivers part. Two wrongs didn't make a right in this scenario.
Yep…I see two aholes. FedEx driver worse but the recording driver was making a big deal out of it too and continuing to play in to the drama.
The red Volvo was the other one
Exactly. Say this thing results in an accident, even if the Fedex guy was a total douche and totally at fault (looks like he is) you have an obligation to do everything necessary to avoid an accident. Even if it means slowing down or even pulling over to put some distance between yourselves (and let tempers cool).
Saying…”your honor, the guy was a total dick, and here’s my dash cam footage showing what a dick he is” isn’t a defense and doesn’t release you from your obligation to do everything necessary to avoid the accident. Maybe one day, these a#&holes will get their payback, but not today.
There’s a difference between not having any evidence and not wanting to hear or SEE the evidence. Video doesn’t lie. He’s dangerous.
Could put it on Facebook and tag the police department, see what they say then.
You have to realize that cops do not work for you they work for the aristocracy. Best to completely avoid calling police and deal with situations yourself.

Yeah because this microcock of a FedEx driver never does this to a truck without a dashcam.

All corporate-owned trucks should have cams and mics installed in hidden locations both inside and outside and the driver not told about it to catch shit like this, then there's undeniable evidence against a driver who drives/acts dangerously on the road and/or trashes the cabin just because "they can". Though the FedEx driver that's driving recklessly in this vid is bound to come across someone who won't hesitate to run them down and potentially send them to an early grave and driving off like nothing happened.
My experience with Fedex drivers is they are the ones doing 70+mph through work zones, switching lanes on crowded highways with no signal etc.... very unprofessional, dangerous drivers and i know it's the culture there bc i was a ground delivery guy for years and every contractor expects 2 workers of output from every 1 worker
I completely agree, blew my mind watching them go 70mph in a snow storm with limited visibility…
If you can't run with the big dawgs stay the fuck on the porch!
Typical. I worked at a copper mine as a crusher mechanic. Then they put me as a belt rider ( ore belt repair) which included crusher mechanics and maintenance. They then fired 5 laborers and gave those jobs to me as well. The only justice I got once I was laid off was they had to hire 6 laborers, a crusher mechanic and a belt rider (belt repair) to replace me. That was sweet. They since have gone out of business. When companies start pushing like that usually they aren't long for this world. It's time to find a better job, which I did!
Yep, and they are a danger to the highways!

@@truckinfam2207 Watch the video... You will see why!
The video started with him trying to pass a slower red truck that sped up to avoid getting passed.
@@Lenny-gj8jw No the video shows what he did but not why. If his truck is governed to 65 mph max he has no reason to ever be in the hammer lane unless it's moving over for an emergency vehicle on the shoulder of the road
@@srick77373 for all we know that red truck could have been merging from an on-ramp.
Semi and commercial veh drivers should be arrested for leaving the right most lane a passenger vehicles cited for driving in left lane.

How do police issue tickets after crashes, they're not there when it happens? They have to investigate and gather evidence , but not in this case. Must be donut hour🥴🍩🍩🍩
Right? What could be more clear than this video evidence? They just don’t want to take the time to look into it.
It's not the police departments fault of the laws that get implemented by the politicians u elected. Traffic violations cannot be issued unless its witnessed by the police officer is 100% accurate. I thought everyone knew that. Take the video to the local judicial officer. Judicial officer can issue the citation. Police officer has to witness it. By taking the video to a police officer and say cite this man, the cammer basically went to Burger King to get a McGriddle. Traffic accidents are a completely different scenario and shouldn't even be considered as comparable to this. No property damage was done, insurance will no have to be involved.
@@Stryker11able no but drunk driving and road rage should always be followed up with a stop
@@steveriley1000 there's nothing that states drunk driving here. Submitting the video doesn't do anything. He should have called the police and said a semi truck is trying to run me off the road, etc. They will dispatch an officer there. But sending in a video, they will look at u and say, what do u want me to do with this?
When I started construction, I was a flagger. Reported a vehicle for constantly running my sign. They can't do anything until they see it, so they parked off the street, saw it and issued her a citation. Point is, the system works if you know how to work it. My experience, they're zero tolerance with construction zones and truckers.
@@Stryker11able I realize there was nothing that says it was drunk driving, what I mean is that that’s one of the calls they will try to do something about , if you report it as a drunk driver Swerving and cutting off others . But video should be all that is needed if it’s geo time stamped as evidence that is . But I get it ! I had a Schneider truck hit me one day on st rt 42 in Ohio , he stopped in the road and proceeded to back up in to my van . Then he jumps out and ask med why I hit him. So he pulls off into a parking lot , I kept my vehicle where it was and advised he do the same , so I took pics of his truck the roadway . Long story short had it bot been for video and pics I was getting charged white hitting him. My pics showed his trailer over my skid marks where I had my brakes on and he pushed me 20’ backwards , the video from a building showed him backing up on the state rt 42 . He claimed he never backed up ! He got cited for the accident! So you would think if it’s good enough for investing it should be good enough for police to get a road rage driver off the road even if for a timeout anf to know you can’t just get away with wreckless driving .
How come you don't goes to the right lane when passing the red truck 🤔?
What happened before that? The FedEx must have it own dashcam from it own
different point of views.
He was passing at 65.6 a truck that was doing 65. So it toke this guy around 12 miles to pass, there is a reason why he don't show all video. Granted FedEx should never done that but it's for asholes like this we all have bad reputation. Trying to pass 65 doing 65.6 or 7 for 13 miles it's not fun getting stuck behind those asholes
Soon as they put automatic transmissions in a truck... any moron with a pulse can drive one. Sad. Be safe everyone

@@dwmzmm I’m so old I have been driving before the cdl got my New York class 1 license in 1986 lol
You know what would prevent this from happening? Use the left lane as a passing lane instead of cruising in it blocking traffic. I don't agree with what FedEx did but still. Get out of the way. What a waste of a 911 call. Then you follow him. Move on with your life
I agree. Left lane is usually a passing lane. Unless it has alot of traffic. Move over.
I absolutely agree!!! The driver that made this video is just as much at fault as anyone. GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE !!!! When you block the fast lane you cause drivers to have to swerve into other lanes to get around you. People that block the fast lane are IDIOTS!!!!!
Agreed
... He was trying to pass the red truck, he literally stated that earlier. He couldn't move to the right again because A) That Red truck sped up and B) The Fed Ex came up closely behind him.
@@OwenGrylls right 💀 it’s like none of them watched the video
I'm not a truck driver, but I've had more trouble with FedEx drivers in my car than any other, by far. Yeah, this guy shouldn't have a CDL.
Only a few of Fedex departments are actual fedex drivers the rest are contractors. Also now with UPS reducing their LTL line they're now the biggest carrier out there. So by chance alone that makes sense if there are more Fedex trucks on the road. Most times its the ground guys who give FEDEX a bad name.
The guy in the red truck was an A-HOLE! I get this all the time, my truck is limited, so I wont attempt a pass unless I've been gaining on another vehicle...4 wheelers included...for quite some time AND I have a big gap. I'm gaining ground on whoever for the longest time, then when I pull out to pass they speed up to either match me or just 1MPH more than me GRRRRR.
I get that too. Their going slow then I try to pass then they speed up. I just don’t get it.
My truck is not governed but at times for whatever reason, I may be running slow, forget to resume cruise control, or whatever and another truck (governed “company truck”) decides to overtake me. I simply acknowledge that I’m the idiot driving slow and let them pass and let it be for a mile or so before I come back around!

0:32 DUDE, you could have gotten back over there no? Holy crap that was a long ass time in the left lane. especially if you max out at 65mph. just stay in the right dude. anyway cool video.
Totally agree. This bloke was causing the roadrage. Too slow, blocking the lane. Red truck had enough, so did the FedEx guy. He should of just stayed in the convoy, safer for all and roadrage could have been avoided. He couldn't maintain a faster speed anyway. I can't stand getting stuck behind a truck trying to overtake another for the sake of 1 or 2 miles an hour. Absolutely ridiculous.
Those mirrors aren't accurate ya dork
@@sandlmv8301 Red truck had enough of driving at the slower speed he was already at?
And if the FedEx driver was in so much of a hurry to get by, the hell's he slowing down for once he's passed?
Nah. You can't blame this on the cammer, even if he did hang out too long.
Edit: Actually, FedEx never made any attempt to overtake red, so I'm guessing what red was actually sick of was being tailgated.
@@grey.7828 wonder what video you watched there chief
N/S
I just want to know why truck drivers think it's okay to block the left lane trying to pass another truck and it takes 10 miles to finally make a pass? Meanwhile you've held up 20 miles of traffic! And if they think you're not going to let them out to make said 10 mile long pass, they just dart out in front of you!
Well if you'd ever been a truck driver with a speed limited truck stuck behind another truck or passenger car doing 5 under the limit for an hour, then finally pulled into the passing Lane only to have that driver then SPEED UP when you get alongside and match your speed you'd understand it's usually not the truck who is now in the passing Lane who is causing the situation. It drives truckers insane to have to deal with this over and over all day long with pissed off drivers behind you honking and giving you the finger ( it's not me, it's the a**hole in the right lane that wants to go slow until I attempt to pass that suddenly found his gas pedal, trapping me side by side in the passing Lane!). I've had situations where a car would be slowing me down to 5 under the limit for HOURS doing this, then when you finally do get past them, two minutes later they fly past you at 15 over the limit and pull in front of you just to slow down to 5 under again to start the process all over again....
Another common situation is approaching a mountain incline with someone in front of you dropping down to ten under for no reason nearing the bottom of the hill. When you've got a full load the approach speed makes all the difference so getting around them to maintain speed is a big deal. If you don't it's going to result in having to downshift and crawl up the mountain at 20 mph with your flashers on instead of climbing it at the speed limit. 9 times out of ten cars in the left lane see you want to get over and punch their gas pedal to prevent it having no clue that THEY are the ones causing the tractor trailers to go so slow. People are just clueless
@@DC-nj9gw In NSW Australia once you are off your learner license you are put on a provisional license for 12 months. When on this license you have a max speed limit of 90km/h, meaning even when driving on a highway with a 110km/h speed limit you have to go 90. For hours upon hours you will force every single motorist to change lanes and go around you, including massive trucks. Such a joke.
Then the freak tried to follow him
He's really no better. Little pants pissing baby
FedEx drivers are among the most reckless. They should ban Fedex from operating g trucks.
Trucks drivers acting like they own the road. Imagine that. I have been in the fleet business for 20 years and it is astounding when truck drivers (especially ones blocking the left lane when you k ow you are limited to 65mph) piss of every driver on the road and wonder why they get folks pissed off. To see 2 of them going at it, even more hilarious.
Not all truck drivers act like that.Please don't lump them all together.Theres good and bad in all occupations
@Someone Junior What are you rambling about.What about all them 4 wheelers doing 80

@@ernestpassaro9663 not really a true pissing contest. It's more like a contest to see who can dribble more piss down their own leg. I get behind so many trucks that can't even make 65 mph in the left lane when the limit is 75 mph. And they edge up and back for miles trying to pass one another.

The poster should have just stayed in the convoy. He is the new breed. Doesn't have the speed and blocked the lane for ages.
@Mike P Scott nothing wrong with a convoy if they're all doing the speed limit. It's just a safe way to travel. When they try to play cowboys is when some idiot thinks he's better off going 2mph faster. If he wants to break off and go 4mph+ faster then that's fine. Don't hang in the over taking lane waiting for your truck to magically go faster when it can't! - which is the case for the driver in this video. Convoys are good d for fuel consumption too. Everyone takes their turn up front on long runs. This is smart Truck driving. 26 cents a mile is crazy good consumption. Surely that's recorded in a convoy slipstream. Is that a fully loaded train?
I've seen the reason for this anger many times in my 63 year driving career. Especially on I-40 west of Memphis, Tn. which is loaded with trucks. Because of governors most trucks can't pass like they used to but they try anyway and wind up blocking the passing lane for miles. You think that doesn't lead to frustration? I have been caught up in that MANY times and the urge to kill is overwhelming. I finally looked and found an alternate route just so I wouldn't have to put up with thoughtless, uncaring truck drivers anymore. I suspect this idiot filming the interaction did the same thing to the FedEx driver. The myth that truck drivers are the best drivers is and always has been, PURE BS.
I've been a truck 🚚 driver my father was a driver one of the best back when u had to change gears with both hands with ur arm through the wheel and my brother's a dam good driver too dad taught us both and although dangerous what he did with doubles his ass shouldn't have been in the left lane the passing lane getting past on the right I'm assuming that was flat land so I'm assuming he's governed at 65 and should stay in the slow 🐌 lane except for emergencies and emergency pass, because that's what the FedEx driver saw 👀 was a truck blocking 🚫 the fast lane while getting past on the right and able to be past by a truck pulling doubles. When he pulled up along side he should've slowed down and got over period instead of following and calling state Boys like some woke 🚚 driver nonsense we handle ourselves out there.

Be safe out there, God bless!!!
Drove for years OTR. Happened more times than I care to remember. Depends what state what town you're in. The ones you need to call is the highway patrol. They're ready to pounce on commercial truck drivers. City police and Sheriff's departments really could care less. What is nice is having the dashcam documenting tractor numbers, time, and date. One copy sent to their employer, the other to their insurance company. You may never hear of it, but they're likely out of a job. All companies hurt for drivers but they also can't be hurt by drivers. Just as irritating is dumb asses in cars who will cut you off just to make that turn thinking you can stop on a dime. And they fully feel if you hit them they get a payoff. Those days are mostly over since the day of the dashcam. If only they realized every single thing they have in their life doesn't have just one truck involved but literally dozens from start to finish from the raw materials produced that product to the retail store. Many times it's many big rigs to produce one part and there could be hundreds of parts. That's why everything is shutting down now by Design but that's another story.
I was an insurance adjuster following a car on a four lane hwy, trucker in the left lane. The car and I were in the right lane. Saw the car try to pull in front of the truck when even with the truckers front bumper. Of course accident happened. I went on to work and called the police for that town.. the police thanked me several times because the car tried to claim that the trucker went over the line. I handled a lot of truck/auto accidents.

Hmm, he doesn’t seem upset with anyone else. He just happens to be messing with you?
No. The driver is in the wrong. Around 30 seconds in he cuts 60-ish seconds of him holding the left lane at low speeds. He got into the left lane to pass, but then proceeded to drive slower than the rest of the traffic causing the left lane FedEx driver to have to go around. Around 1:25 you can see the FedEx driver motion with his hand asking the driver in this recording to slow down so he can merge, as the FedEx driver is travelling at higher velocity and wants to take the fast lane.
Instead of slowing down slightly, merging to the right, waiting a few seconds for the FedEx driver to merge etc., he decides to hold his velocity knowing damn well that the FedEx driver is about to get over so he can piss and moan about how FedEx should hold their lane. He antagonized the entire event. The FedEx driver was probably just wondering why the guy behind him was being such a moron over a simple lane merge. All he had to do was let off the gas for a few seconds or tap the brakes and let FedEx merge - he clearly hand signaled and the polite thing to do would be let him merge. The driver in this video was in no rush anyway, so why take the fast lane?
@@jonny6702 it doesn’t really matter that he cut out that minute. You can see that the fed ex guy was coming up behind the red truck at a high rate. You cannot 1) slow down in the passing lane to pass from behind into the right lane nor 2) merge back when a faster moving vehicle is clearly at risk of impacting you from behind if you did so. This explains why he’s in the left lane so long. He needs that Fed Ex driver to pass him first so he can move back to the right and he doesn’t want to slow down in the left lane since that could be dangerous depending on the circumstances. The Fed Ex driver should have continued at the same rate of speed or slowed down to allow the guy to merge back right and then overtake him. This is all the fault of the red truck because that driver wasn’t paying attention or something and then decides to accelerate when being overtaken. This nonsense happens all the time. Stupid drivers and their egos. Doesn’t matter what they’re driving.
So what did you do before this video to get him to single you out and no one else?
Not a truck driver myself, but I've always felt like while driving a truck as a career, you have an obligation to drive safely. Those trucks are certainly dangerous when they get in wrecks and you also have the obligation of getting your freight to it's destination safely and in a timely manner.
I've been driving for a long time I've driven in the worst snow storms ever in flag staff and I'm saying six foot driffs and 92%of all trucks in those diffs where them
Truck drivers have stricter requirements as well, like one moving violation and you can have your license revoked. DUI is a career ender for a truck driver or should be, for obvious reasons.
@@denziltraylor3510 what does those diffs where them mean??
Cars don’t seem to care how “dangerous” a truck is . They cut u off . Slam on brakes trying to exit . Speed up when u turn a blinker on and get mad cause you weren’t asking for permission to come over .
Truckers with faster trucks hate being passed they would risk everything to keep you from passing them, they try to save fuel but when I try to pass them they speed up I deal with these idiots almost everyday a truckers ego is savage
Its not just trucks, cars too. Theres jerks everywhere.
Say no more we absolutely know the ones who does it these are the type of drivers that absolutely don't use Traffic signal purposely
Just put some speed holes in their trailer with a cordless hole puncher.😉
Hey RUclips? Why are you recommending this to me a whole year later?
I'm not sticking up for the FedEx driver one bit. He was driving like a total idiot. The truck with the dash cam had no right being in the passing lane. He didn't have enough motor to get pass the red rig..
& your truck has that sensor like the company I drive for! Dash Cam is a God send!
Those sensors are fucking annoying
You were asking for trouble and you got it... fedex pulled over to see if you had a problem and you backed off... what was the point of pulling over behind him on the exit?
Even today the Fed ex drivers are highly aggressive. I've seen them normally go 70 in the left lane in a 55. They are basically kids driving these rigs. Be careful out there. Fed ex drivers are highly aggressive
just because you have a dash cam it doesn't mean you should enforce traffic laws, you're not a police officer. You can contact the police and the FedEx drivers employer but don't follow him.
Curious why if you are speed limited, that you are on left lane anyway. Just stay in right. Also if another driver is being an ass why do you not back off and let him go? Be the big boy. If I was Police I would suggest you drive better also.
He was passing someone who was going way slow and then they speeded up and passed him in the right lane. Before he could get over to the right, the fed ex truck passed him on the right.
The driver recording this was going 65 in the left lane, which is the posted Speed Limit because the governor on his truck would not go any faster. He should not be in the left lane. He should be in the right lane. The left lane is a passing lane. All he did was cause a clusterfuck behind him and made other drivers pass him on the right, which is more dangerous than going 5*10 miles over the limit. This poster caused the entire situation because he is one of the many jerkoffs that hog the left lane. The FedEx Driver shouldn't have played cat and mouse like that on the road like that, but this poster was happy to play along also. I would get them both off the road
In the beginning, this driver was passing red truck. The Red truck driver being passed then accelerated, blocking the driver in left lane from passing, which is illegal in most states I know, because of the very situation this caused, the so called clusterfuckk you mentioned. FedEX only made matters worse by passing on right further preventing this driver from properly passing. 2 dumb asses in right lane who felt entitled caused this situation.
The driver recording this was passing a slower truck. The slower truck then turned jackass and sped up, and caused this.
I think you the one who was holding left lane. When you pass red truck move over.
If your driving a castrated truck then stay out of the hammer lane.
😆😆😆🤣🤣
If you can only go 65 get the F out of the left lane.
Straight up
@@WaylonAndST.MathyusDad35 Watching on the You Tube channel for the blind? You evidently can't listen, either. He was passing a slower truck.
@@mrpoizun lol what the heck are you talking about? What does that have to do with only being able to go 65? Plus he was the one getting passed smh.
For a FedEx changing lanes I'd say he missed you by a mile.
He probably worked at Swift and now promoted to biggest a-hole carrier there is.
i see multiple clowns in this video, can you find them?
I see 3.
At least the truck with dash cam
@@DanielGarcia-yx2mk he didn’t do anything.
The red truck is a real dick.
He’s got a dash cam so he can video all the ppls reactions he pissed off
Most Fed-Ex "Drivers" are horrible, unsafe drivers!
let's see your evidence
Look at any videos of multiple vehicle freeway accidents. Nine times out of ten, there's a Fedex truck at the front of the pile.
@@TheDrummer51 link??
@@TheDrummer51 ... Hell, I don't need videos to come to that realization!... I see it all the time!... The greater percentage of them are Reckless Idiots that think they have superior skills, capability, and priority over everyone else on the road!... And 9 times out of 10 it gets them into a situation they don't have the skill or experience to get themselves back out of!
The guy in the red truck started whole thing by not allowing the guy to pass.
I would have called fedex they would love to hear from you i did this one time i gave them the trailer numbers/license plates etc.. they told me they knew exactly who the driver was i gave them my email address and they sent me some info and told me that driver was fired for endangering the public
IF YOU FIRE HIM SWIFT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM LOL
Let me guess... The fact that you have parked yourself in the left... The lane reserved for passing only is irrelevant! Some advice... If you want to drive slower... Drive in the right lane! Maybe you will not piss people off!
EXACTLY!!!
He was in the process of passing the red truck, which then decided to pass him on the right (isn't that a no-no) and then the fedex truck passed, again on the right, nearly clipping his right front ...... He hadn't had a chance to pull over before the ass driving the red truck decided to play chicken with him. And, regardless of where he was driving, the fedex driver was a menace on the road.
I agree that two wrongs do not make a right! But him in the left started the problem.
I used to have a lot of respect for tractor trailers but now I disrespect them cause they’re reckless
It's tough innocently hogging the outside lane as you get ready to overtake a truck that's in the next state, when all of a sudden two trucks undertake you, and you become a full-on victim of road rage - directed at them.
In another state??? Are you in an altered state?
He is passing the red truck, almost makes it far enough past him to move over when the red truck speeds up. FedEx runs up the right side blocking him from moving over
@@phuckyew895 He was in an altered state - asleep at the wheel...
@@travelbugse2829 You still don't get it? Please ask your mom to take away your computer privileges!
@@mrpoizun She did - I'm writing these comments with a laptop in the garden shed.
lol
I almost got mowed over on the freeway by a FedEx box truck on my motorcycle then they proceeded to slam on the brakes just to make an exit.. literally almost killed me just to move up one spot. It was some cracked out lookin lady
Fed Ex drivers are crazy. Green is the worst (green is for contract drivers, red for employees).
Would not have happened if you were in the proper lane not making trucks pass you on the right ! Your the problem.
wish i had a dollar for every time i saw a video of a fedex driver doing something reckless.
Just to let you know that was an outside contractor working for FedEx. Was not a FedEx driver.
This (the red truck) is what I encounter with almost every other driver on the road these days.
The actions of the FedEx driver are just all too common as well.
We seem to be devolving into a state of utter "lawlessness" on our roads.
Drivers like the one in the red truck piss me off to no end. Pick a speed and stick with it. He should’ve known the camera truck was trying to pass him so just let him. Don’t just speed up at the last second and make his action be for nothing.
I see crazy driving everyday now.
I once enlisted an out of work CDL driver next door neighbor when COVID just started, to drive me to a very far city to visit my only son since I'm constraint to fly due to the pandemic. He is my son's age, we pre-agreed on the fee - my son's very nice well maintained Honda Accord with no blemish or dents, well kept record of maintenance. The reason of my son's generosity was for him to keep an eye on me and both came from the military. My trust in his driving abilities was unwarranted. It was a harrowing 12 hours which I kept secret from my son. He promptly wrecked the Honda in a few mos. He also wrecked his next vehicle. Worked on and off as truck driver even after (how he managed to do that is beyond me). Now his current vehicle (third from our Honda) also a Honda is totalled sitting in his carport. This truck driver wrecked 3 cars in a span of 2 yrs since the pandemic . His drivers license should be cancelled as well as his CDL. I used to be not scared of truckers but now I certainly do. WTH.
I drove double pup trailers for Schneider. They had contracts with YRC. I was always delayed at every YRC yard I went to and I just slowed down a lot to conserve fuel and limit the craziness that happens at 65 MPH with all these trucks governed at 65 except CR england at 63 and carrol Fulmer at 62. It raised my fuel bonus and did not affect how long it took to get my new set of boxes for the next leg. I was also a team truck and that is enough stress without all the other driving nonsense a commercial driver has to deal with.
Left Lane Bandits are so annoying .. stay in the right lane and stay out of faster traffics way !
Why was you speeding up, and slowing down ?. Holding up the passing lane .
They both were in the wrong slow turtle truck driver and FedEx asshole !
@@ernestpassaro9663 Yup red truck guy was angry at the beginning. What he's not showing is the footage beforehand of him sitting in that lane for the past 10 minutes. Didn't have the balls to post that though
Those FedEx self-driving Tesla trucks really have an attitude problem.
they bought telsa trucks, I was sute those haven't passed dot requirements yet.
Don't laugh that technology may put us all out of work soon !
Great drivers terrible drivers they will get us all !
Trucking has been cutting wages since 1980 they would love to replace us all !
Looks like another day on the road to me what did you think being a truck driver is going to be like
Yea. He's a drama queen looking for something to cry about.
Nothing to see here but drama by this truck driver.
