I Think the Guy’s Motto Was, “Who can I kill today?”

Seriously. Either that, or a drunk, drugged, lobotomized chimpanzee was driving that 18-wheeler.

Setting: rural state highway, no breakdown lane, fairly deep bar ditches on both sides. Winding road in hilly Ozark area.

Situation: 0-Dark-30. 18-wheeler going ~30mph on 55mph road (holdover from double nickel days on once higher speed limit highway), driver taking his half out of the middle around blind curves, up blind hills, wandering over the mid-line whenever a passing stripe appears, blocking the line of vehicles (18-wheelers and cars) from passing at every opportunity.

And folks wonder why road rage exists. Maybe some of it exists, because there are people like this out there TRYING to kill folks.

Oh, and the precious cargo? Bales of cardboard.

Don’t be this guy.
