I know this 18 wheeler jumped out in front in low gear. I have noticed an epidemic of uncourteous truckers out there. I have been cut off on a lane merge, forced to brake because of sudden change into my lane, anything that has to deal with the end part of their trailer forcing me off they have a king of the road mentality.

Truck drivers do this all the time!! They cut you off, and forcefully want to have there way on the road...i really hope this person makes it out alive, and then takes this company for a good ride!!!!!! And of course the idiot truck driver walks away fine!!!!!

Truck pulls out in front of oncoming traffic and oncoming traffic hit's truck. Got to be a real idiot to say that the oncoming traffic was at fault due to another truck not yielding right of way

If the story is correct about hitting the truck in the rear, then the pickup driver will be at fault. Plus, how do you not see the 18-wheeler
