    Default Onbe reason why driving trucks can be very dangerous...

    I hear a shotgun blast out on the highway. The next thing I know, I'm looking around and in my mirror, I see sparks flying all out the back of the truck and I immediately pull over. Lost the whole retread and everything. Blew this hole right in the tread of the tire. Shiit was loud as hail, lolol. And I'm going about 65 mph. Later, QD.

    damn dude, that sucks. roadside assistance ftw. good thing you were able to pull over w/no problems. That is the exact reason I try not to ride beside semi trucks. Im pretty sure the pressure can shatter the window in the car riding beside the tire.

    You spelled "one" wrong.

    ive been in the cab when that has happened before, and i have to agree with QD, being inside is worse than outside, especially when you have to pull over and then it make you late for your delivery.

    a friend of mine's mom and dad was going down the interstate and a truck blew a tire beside them and it busted the passenger side window out and smacked his dad in the face.

    My defensive driving course instructor was a truck driver for 38 years on the road he said, he was telling us hes never in his life had a speeding ticket but the only times hes ever been in an accident was when people where trying to pass him as he was going on the off ramp. Have you ever had any serious accident's with your 18wheeler QD?

    Yeah, I had just gotten in the truck from a rest stop last year and had forgotten to put my belt back on and got spotted by DOT. Luckily it was only a $20 ticket and no points. Later, QD.
