REGARDING:
“just get out of their way”

I favor anybody trying to lawfully earn a living and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Nonetheless, “get out of my way” attitude is that of a bully and I don’t like bullies. I hope your husband isn’t a bully.

David for honest living and fewer bullies

you can’t get to Quintette hwy. without driving on 95A. They cut trees in this area.Unless you’re a logger you would be mostly unaware of where.

This truck driver may have done nothing wrong…he may be one of the “good ” truckers, but some are very scary and drive way over the speed limit and I have seen several “almost accidents” where the truck was traveling too fast to be safe for other drivers, and several where cars turning were almost rear-ended on hwy 95A…some going north, some going south. Where are they going, fully loaded when they go north, and in such a hurry?

I am sure this truck was turning on to 95A from Quintette Rd. and heading to the plant they are cutting lots of timber over there in Santa Rosa County. You pass log trucks on that road each day.

These trucks exceed the speed limit all the time as well as the trucks carrying wood chips, they all routinely run 65 or 70 mph on all the roads especially hwy 97, they pass me all the time. They are paid by the load…time is money

Some of the log trucks turn off Hwy 29 to run on the back roads to avoid the DOT on 29. Some of these trucks are extremely heavy and might even exceed what the weight limit is for our roads. If he was over loaded and traveling faster then the posted speed limit (which most do) then it’s just a accident waiting to happen.
