Nobody on the outside or in charge seems to be the least bit concerned. I won't drive within a mile of a truck these days. When I called the police and the trucking company about the F-wit stuck in my residential driveway, nobody gave a damn. Yes, I had LOTS of pics and evidence. Votes.............

Or rigs that the previous ownership is visible. Seen a few (likely worn out) former Werner rigs in the GTA. They're a trucking company out of Omaha Nebraska. You can see where the lettering was peeled off the air deflector... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Name and shame. NOT pictured, was where, on his 3rd and final backwards trip onto private property, he was within inches of my RV, drive wheels spinning, rig knifed. The cone you see is where he put it back after moving it out of my driveway. It was there because, get this, the road was closed a mile South, closed with a 6x12' sign, 1/2 the road barricaded. My driveway was an attractive place to drive into and turn around. I came home to ruts everywhere, the cone helped. After the truck incident, and a call to the police and city yielded nothing, in went the angle iron. It was fun to see them bent with paint on them.

Wait till traffic ahead is well clear, then pass quickly, and ner on the right. When traffic slows to a stop on the highway leave a lot of space so you have an out. Watch the rear view like a hawk for the moron not slowing. It has become so bad, I am almost killed every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fraser canyon is 100km further than the coquhalla hwy.

tricky Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Are there any OCers going to be riding Deep River to Bonfield area tomorrow and Friday? Four of us will be sledding out of Mattawa Golf'n Ski for two days. Would like to say hi, if you are on the same trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
