    Watch Our for These Garbage Trucks

    The driver is on the right side because they pick up the garbage bins on the side of the road. This guy tried to kill me twice. First time he pulled out in front of me, crossing two lanes while taking a right off a side street in the middle of town. So, since I'm not so smart, I followed him through town to the gas station. Seems we both needed fuel. I was behind him in the center turning lane. Seems he was too far forward to make the turn into the gas station and decided he had to back up some. Imagine my surprise when this truck started to back up toward me...

    This is hard to believe, because they do attract educated, career minded people and only select the highest qualified applicants.

      When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

        I give garbage trucks, cattle trucks, and hog trucks an extremely wide berth for all the same reasons.

          Glad you were able to avoid it, twice!

          Those trucks regularly drive around here with a collection of loose crap on top. It's not hard to see where they've been, just follow the bread crumbs....news papers....styrofoam containers and whatever else blows onto the road.

          I was waiting to turn left and when the light turned yellow, the truck in front backed up instead of turning. It saw me but failed to notice the small car directly behind it. I couldn't believe what I just saw and got out to exchange phone numbers with the car's driver. Just in case they got accused of rear-ending the truck. Yep, a week later I got a call to verify the car was front-ended.
