Warning…Warning…

I had to make a trip to the dump today,( which by the way has gone from 3.75 per load to 5.25 per load since my last trip there.) I got behind a gravel truck and he had a couple of signs posted on the back of his truck. Warning…stay at least 30 feet back…and then,  I am not responsible for broken windshields….I am not sure I could have read his sign from over 30 feet away and secondly, how can he say in advance that he is not responsible for broken windshields if the rock falls from someplace on his truck?  I was behind one gravel truck once on the interstate and I must have been 150 feet behind him…This rock came off the back of his truck, hit the payment and bounced several times heading directly for me…I was able to move over and let the rock go sailing by….That rock was lodged somewhere on his rig, came off, bounced down the interstate for a good ways and had it hit me he would not have been responsible (if he also had a sign…I never caught up to him because I was afraid another rock might come off). In El Paso, on the interstate in about four lanes of fast moving traffic, a 2 by 4 came off a construction flat bed truck and started splintering into large pieces,  flying all over the interstate scaring the crap out of everyone following the truck. Truckers have to be responsible for their load, including looking for lodged rocks and gravel. It takes a few minutes, but safety demands it. The interstate is too busy a place normally without having debris flying all over the place, causing drivers to dodge to miss it…..Come on truckers and pick up drivers, check your load…..
