Steering wheel holders all lined up trying to get into the Loves in Dandridge TN. Walk the fuel lanes at any Loves and you might actually see one out of ten trucks actually pumping fuel. Trucks backed up out into the street and blocking the exits too. Won't catch me trying to fuel there! I've fueled several times across the street at the Speedway.

I wish the gen pop knew how stressful it is to drive a loaded semi on the same road as people that cant even drive a manual transmission vehicle. Some may not understand what l mean ....and thats sad. I remember having to take a real driving test on paper in a classroom and then a test drive with a state trooper at the dmv when l got my liscence. Then when l had to renew it l had to use a computer. Now they just want your name so they can type it in and take your picture and push print and get you out. In my head i see a cash gun but loaded with driver licenses that are 1 size fits all and its on fully auto and theyre just spraying them out like its Vietnam and you got a beltfed M-60.

In the last 3 months I've seen more accidents with only car's then with semi's. A lot of accidents involving semi's, start because someone wasn't paying attention. It takes a semi 700' to stop on a dry day with a fully loaded trailer. So when someone wants to play games they lose.

I don't disagree. But there's a difference between steering wheel holders and truck drivers. Now that being said, in the last 3 months I've seen more accidents with just car's. So people driving car's have the same issue as steering wheel holders.
