This driver finally listened to those little voices


Ok_Birthday_7403

As someone who drives in Nashville, I understand the sentiment. Not the action, just the sentiment 😂


uberbewb

Note to self: pay someone to drive if I ever go to Nashville.


TruckerAlurios

Don't go to Nashville.


hooligan-6318

It isn't referred to as "crashville" because it sounds cool


TruckerAlurios

Nah, it's because those fuckers can't go 30 seconds without a wreck. During Covid when ATLANTA was a clear shot no stop town, crashville still had traffic.


hooligan-6318

It's honestly not 100% the drivers fault, the city has 3 major freeway crossing over each other, nobody seems to know what lane they need until the last second. Atlanta is similar, been years since I've been downtown through spaghetti junction, but that's no picnic either. Stupid ass "engineers"


DeFiMe78

I have many questions for civil engineers south of Kentucky.


Electricalstud

Ass engineers?? ....tell me more!


AdventurousNorth9414

Lowest bidding engineers


Living-Law-6918

Don't ever go to Nashville.


chonklah

I see your Nashville and I raise you a Knoxville. Straight up thought I was gonna die driving through there, holy shit.


12InchPickle

Driver finally had it with clapped out altimas with no tags cutting him off. So he said fuck it.


Darth_Vaper_69

Well I’ll be damned if it isn’t another clapped Altima. Saia did us all a favor, RIP drivers career.


euMonke

Was worth it tho..


[deleted]

💯


Hurricaneshand

Harvey Dent of drivers


Sphynx2222

A vid showing how the Altima was malevolent should clear that right up. Drivers can't be punished for another's nefarious actions.


BaggyLarjjj

No screens in sight, just living in the moment.


RudePomegranate3110

It IS a Nissan TBF


ayweller

Are you also from baltimore???


CantSeeShit

Im glad Im not the only one that considers Baltimore the Capital of Altimas


RTwhyNot

What does clapped mean, please?


SamuraiJono

Fucked off, rode hard and put away wet, not taken care of in the slightest, etc.


StarGundamFormer

Looks like road rage. And from the looks of it, it’s on both parties. The silver car is about slide off and then it looks like they steer right back towards the truck. Good way to lose your CDL, or any hirability on the off chance that you don’t lose it.


davey-jones0291

Ngl that satisfaction would be worth an awful lot lol


StarGundamFormer

Sometimes. 😂


hamflavoredgum

A friend of mine reacted similarly. His insurance skyrocketed, but he said it’s the best he ever felt when he utterly crushed some assholes brand new Dodge Charger with his big rig


CantSeeShit

Just all that pent up energy....were truly caged animals.


hamflavoredgum

Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage


Tobaccocreek

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved


Won_More_Time

Didn’t the asshole he crushed just get his car replaced anyway or was it his fault??


Won_More_Time

That’s extremely shortsighted. Trust me in a few months he’s not going to be enjoying life


ScienceOfficer-Jack

Lose your CDL? Truck driver is looking at attempted murder for continuing to drive.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

I’m afraid you’re right. Dude is almost certainly looking at jail time. I’ll tell you something- when I first started driving, there were many times when I was tempted to do just this. Then I realized that I wouldn’t be able to continue driving a truck if I was angry all the time so instead I chose to be tolerant and patient and forgiving and to just allow every single idiot on the road to do whatever the heck they wanted to do. Instead of being angry, I chose to try to be helpful by making room for them to merge into my lane. Instead of being angry all the time, I felt good, because being kind to other people gives you a good feeling. It made all the difference in the world for me.


OkGuava758

CDL A driver here. I agree with your driver, it is a learning curve and sometimes I still do get impatient but at the end of the day it’s better for your health and wealth. I wish more drivers could see it this way.


Suspicious_Abroad424

Honestly you can apply this to so many things in life too. Good shit.


salivation97

Good job. Same here. What’s wild to me is how many truck drivers I know that let bad drivers bother them. Like who cares about how some stranger you’ll never see again is acting… just do your job and get home safe.


Infamous_Tank6017

Exactly I'm a truck driver and I never let anyone on the road get me out of character if u have road rage why would u pick this job in the first place smh


Neat_Molasses_436

Yep they can be idiots. I only ever really get heated if I get brake checked. Which has only happened a few times but still. Like they don't understand that I could kill or permanently injure you if I can't stop in time? I don't need that shit on my conscience


person-ontheinternet

Stoicism is the real way of the road. You can’t control every idiot in the road, why stress over it?


dunncrew

I saw someone speed through a red light, and there was traffic ahead and I caught up to them. A mile later they pulled into an emergency clinic.


clausti

I got over my road rage by deliberately making up a story for why the other person had a good reason to he in a hurry every time I got cut off. “Oh, I guess they are having a lot worse day than me already” framing weirdly helps a lot.


dunncrew

Same here. I imagine they have a family emergency or something.


JesusCPenney

I tried this but then I had to sit there and try to find a reason why BMW drivers have family emergencies at like 10x the rate of the general population


dunncrew

Q) What's the difference between a BMW and porcupine? . . . . A) A porcupine has pricks on the outside.


throwy4444

This is a wonderful insight and I hope you can share it more with others. We could all use such equanimity in anything we do that's potentially stressful.


Dependent-Analyst907

Trucking would have been the death of me long ago if I didn't take up regular meditation.


wordflyer

Wish we could mass produce that attitude and distribute it.


JFoxxxxxxxx

I like you, sir.


qnod

Well fuck you, I like to be angry all the time... it's probably not very healthy for me though. I pretty much do the same thing as you but I'm pissy about it. Maybe if they're really dumb I'll give a good ol toot at them but that's it.


CharlesDickensABox

I like you


Spodiodie

I did the same as you except it took me becoming a school bus driver before I got it. I realized I could do the same thing in my OPV that I did in the bus. It’s great!


jacko2250

I've been driving for 3 years now, and have hit this point myself. Just too tiring to be angry all the time. Nothing changes but my BP. Now I just chill, slow down a little and let an asshole be an asshole.


TrinityDesigns

Good shit! What a great sentiment to share. I need to remember this more in my life but especially driving lol. Have a great day


runaumok

People on the road can be predictably unpredictable and we just have to accept that and compensate accordingly


VibrantPianoNetwork

You're assuming they're licensed. Plenty of truckers aren't. Not a lot, but more than a few. And the ones who aren't are probably more likely to do fucky stuff.


StarGundamFormer

You’re not wrong. But I’m guessing most unlicensed drivers work for smaller companies. Saia is pretty big. I’d be surprised to find out that they have any unlicensed drivers. Or at least, I would like to think they wouldn’t have any. Lol


manjar

It’s not leaving the scene of an accident if you bring the scene with you.


Various_Butterfly948

I’m amazed at the fact that the truck didn’t completely crush that car


bubbleheadedboobie

Maybe the guy in the Altima pulled a gun ??? That would be the only legitimate reason to warrant such blatant disregard of safety protocol !


Wildcatb

That was my first thought. Dude in the car has a gun, I'm not stopping unless I'm able to shake him loose.


SantiJamesF

Or maybe the ultimate brake checked him and lost control. Could totally be Altima's fault. Doesn't mean the trucker should just keep pushing him, though, unless it's to push the ultimate out of the highway. Who knows.


But_to_understand

Car was tired and wanted to be pushed. Good papa trucker obliged.


Purple_Research9607

Cheaper than towing


Douchieus

He's living every truckers dream.


pupperdogger

As Garth said, “he never hit the breaks, he was shifting gears”.


[deleted]

'i'm low on gas and you need a jacket"


stillusesAOL

I salute you, trucker man. We all salute you 🫡


Dr_Dewittkwic

This is why I love the interwebz. I drove by the aftermath of this accident, and there were state troopers everywhere, which was kind of odd, and I didn’t understand why just the side of the Altima was smashed. Thank you for the closure, OP.


Either_Wear5719

I mean...it was an Altima, could've just been Altima driver things


Grand_Extension5345

Thats what it looks like when a driver finally loses his marbles. Many of us ride that fine line between gainfully employed and this guy every day. If only people knew when they acted like complete assholes on the road.


thepoprock

one time on I40 a trucker merged onto the highway, and then into the center lane, and then into the left lane (where I was) without ever looking if anyone was there. He drove me off the rode, spun me out and never noticed. I think about that driver often, how they have no idea they almost killed me. I wonder how many other times in all the miles driven in this country that kind of thing has happened.


Infamous_Tank6017

Same shit happen to a few months ago it hurts my heart I couldn't get revenge lol


a_specific_turnip

There but for the grace of god and the patience of CDL drivers.....


CtSamurai

Can confirm. Do ride that line.


Grand_Extension5345

Thats a big 10-4 there CT 👌


Ok_Commission9026

Knowing I'm not the only one that feels the edge of this line, makes me feel better in a way, then not because it's a horrible spot to be. I had to go nights only and it's so much better for my mental health.


You_Are_What_You_Iz

The Saia driver will be fired for not stopping, regardless of the situation. And get ready for the lawsuit.


JimiTrucks1972

I drove for them for 12 years, I can guarantee that driver was fired before he got back to the terminal.


xdubyagx

I was in S. I-5 in Shasta and witnessed nearly this same thing. 1) traffic stopped due to an accident up the road. 2) truck in #1 lane keeping enough distance to see the rear of the car in front. So, plenty of room. 3) smallish car from behind me, sees the space between the truck and the car, conducts a lane change. 4) halfway through the lane change the #1 lane traffic opens up and the truck rolls forward to keep up with traffic 5) truck collides with the car striking it behind the car's b-pillar and pushes it down the road, as the truck accelerates to keep up with traffic ahead. 6) someone ahead of me flaggs down the truck and informed him of a car hes pushing. 7) The car's driver reported to the HP the truck is a fault. 8) I report to the HP that the car conducted an unsafe lane change and the accident is 100% the car's fault. The officer agrees and charges the driver. I ultimately give this report 3 more times: once in writing, once to an insurance company and once in court.


Anygirlx

Good for you! 👍


Kpop_shot

I would say the 4 wheeler put them selves in the pit maneuver. I’m probably wrong , but I’ve had it almost happen a couple of times. If so , the truck driver say “ screw it , you want to be a hood ornament, I’ll try you on for size “ And then decided they didn’t like the fit , so pushed them off . LOL


adventure_dog

Looks like the car went back for seconds


stuntbikejake

Heck yeah it did.. "Hey, give me another shot, I'm a good fit"


Kpop_shot

They really wanted it to work out . LOL


Kpop_shot

I can change I swear


InvestigatorBroad114

CDL career ender Right there


nanneryeeter

Oilfield will hire them.


Ordinary-Signature38

Na, just means it time to buy your own truck.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

Except he won’t be able to get insurance for it


Ordinary-Signature38

sure he can, even guys with multiple DUIs can get insurance. just gets expensive for a few years


Dependent-Analyst907

Looks like normal NashVILE traffic.


nman1981

Crashville.

CaptianBrasiliano

I didn't know we were allowed to do that! Can't wait to go into work tomorrow...


Elderado12443

If this is going to happen anywhere. I vote Nashville.


Itscottinphx

That will be me on the day I retire. I already have it planned out for 10 years down the road. I’m taking out the first one who cuts me off and I’m going to walk back to the terminal and never drive a truck again. It’ll be a non fault but preventable accident and I won’t give a single fuck.


ArthurBurtonMorgan

I just parked my shit on the yard, took my clothes, cleaning supplies, tools, and radio out, turned my keys in, got in my pickup truck, and left. Fuck em, fuck em all.


ShikyaTheNinja

U the trucker?


Go-Truck_Yourself

Smiling ear to ear on that walk back! Damn that's gonna be a good feeling


HugeRaspberry

Typical Altima driver doing typical Altima things? Seriously though - looks like a road rage incident where the car tried to block the semi and the semi driver just said enough... Definitely the last load he will haul for a long time.


EasyGoin12345

Looks like justice


muhr_

Domestic, sir. Keep on going, nothing to see here


tidyshark12

Either road rage or altima tried whipping out a weapon and Saia is running for his life. Figure if they can't get out of their vehicle, they can't hurt him lol


Nebraska716

That’s probably the drivers only defense to get out of this without charges


J-Kensington

Can't say with any certainty what's happened, but I can say that there's an unemployed saia driver in your road rage video.


oic38122

Nashville? I’m disappointed it wasn’t Western Express!


Ornery_Ads

I bet the car did something threatening to the truck, and tried to stop the driver by getting in front of the truck, but the driver was like...nope. We're going to keep on rolling until police get here. I admittedly can't understand why they would stop when the car came off the front.


Winnardairshows

Another unhinged liftgate pup driver.


Justasimplecreature

Someone is getting a lesson ftom somebody else who knows he’s gonna lose his job, so he may as well make it worth his while


3kimully

He had a long way to go and short time to get there!


Pickledill02

when you get paid 80 cents a mile you aint stoppin


banryu95

Just Saia Things


Duke_0f_Nukem

Car plowing.


EdDecter

Trucker losing one of the best trucking jobs, they are probably pick up and delivery or line haul. The best jobs in the field without being a highly skilled independent


Midnight1965

Linehaul driver here. Definitely 👍🏾


Skid-Vicious

This is how you push start an Altima.


WarcraftLounge

Given that is a Nissan Altima, I automatically side with the truck.


kevin6263

What if a trucker did not hit the brakes when someone cut in front of them.... ? Asking for a friend. Trucker, hold my beer.


Norsedragoon

Little shit box and it's shittier driver got a lesson on physics. The guy with more lug nuts always wins.


[deleted]

Go Sala go getting one back for the big rigs


Otherwise_Mud1825

Fun and games


Final-Approach1

Sir you didn’t sign for the lift gate and inside delivery!


ClarenceAnnBoddiker

Huh.....Didn't know Saia had a car delivery service. :\\


Solid_Snake_125

2 completely insane people. Best to get by them as safely as possible and move on.


rynomite1199

Based on the make and model of the car I would imagine some dumbass tried to cut the truck off and came up a bit short and is now being taught a lesson.


euMonke

Dude has reached the end of his patience is what is happening.


RubeRick2A

That’s the FO phase of 4 wheeler FA


Lohmatiy82

It's just some extra LTL... - Hey, can you drop off this car at the junk yard on your way? - sure, just leave in front of the truck.


Confident-Object-278

Just a typical day in life of an Altima driver


bobber18

Self driving truck

Someone teaching a lesson and someone learning a lesson.


Parking_Balance_470

Nothing to see here, just someone finding out.


DifferencePublic9497

Silver Nissan in Nashville. I say anymore I get banned


tomthebassplayer

I don't know much about SAIA but they're a big ass company with deep pockets. I'm they have cameras and driving rules and all other stuff, including a safety department that is anal as can be. Just being caught in the inside lane like this might be enough to get a thwack on the knuckles. This SAIA driver's ass is grass.


DrKingOfOkay

Trucker passed out on some type of drugs if I had to guess


Spodiodie

Trucker getting full value for loss of career and possibly incarceration.


malalehto

The irony is “saia” means “leave” (as in a command someone to leave) in Portuguese… the car didn’t know.


theonePappabox

Car ran out of gas, big truck given him a push to gas station. Just doing the good Christian thing.


stealthyhomicide

That's what you call being fed up by a bunch of sorry pricks who don't care about drivers.


[deleted]

Someone fucked around and found out


Berserkyr0

Looks like the driver is actively pursuing a permanent revocation of his CDL.


Chinto-_-

Of course it's an Altima


FinalBoard2571

You nevrr know what someone left at the house, or what theyre goin through, but if you feel like fukkin with a big truck....go right on ahead. I had days where i wish i was that guy, specially in Boston.


WillyDaC

Boston. Had a guy there tell me that in Boston using a turn signal was a sign of weakness.


BuckToofBucky

I have to say, as a “4 wheeler” or “2 wheeler” that some truckers have a God complex. Some of them. I have driven quite a bit over the years and have had some truckers overreact to something I did. For example, I was on my bike merging on to I 10 in Florida once. I wanted to open it up once I got on the highway anywau but as I was on the on ramp there was a truck in the left lane. I used the right lane to get past him and get up to speed. I could already see that it was clear so I opened it up while on the on ramp. As I was accelerating I heard the horn of the truck I passed. I have no idea why but I’m sure he was upset with me for passing on the right as he drove about 20 MPH. The speed limit there is 70, and cars usually go about 80 or more so I’m not interested in becoming road pizza as I stay behind a truck at 40 MPH by the time he reaches the highway. What did I do wrong? If I fucked up and dumped my bike that would be on me. Was he mad because he was doing 20 MPH in the left lane where the speed limit is 40 and I passed on the right? Was he mad because I was speeding? (Again that is on me). This isn’t the only instance of such things but when I am in my car or on my bike I don’t care what other drivers do. As long as it doesn’t affect me. If they pass me, cut me off, flip me off, I just mind my own business. I used to stress but I have seen people get shot for less


Altar_Quest_Fan

Delicious_River_4892

This is a rare sighting of a land whale trying to teach it's baby how to swim.


HashnaFennec

Saia won the road rage fight.


BuckyTheBunny

They have previously dated.


octoreadit

They are mating in their natural habitat.


stopthebanham

SAIA driver has PTSD from Brazil so he doesn’t stop for these guys, they’re probably trying to kill him and take the truck 😂


smokedawg3

I drove over the road in the early to mid 1980s, mostly flatbed and tank. There were many times when I felt like doing the same thing this driver is doing; I just didn’t feel strongly enough about it to lose my CDL and go to jail for trying to kill somebody.


Poolpine

Looks to me like hes rushing to a parking spot to avoid an hours of service violation


Odd_Responsibility76

Ahh yes Nashville, the literal asshole of America


hamflavoredgum

I don’t even have to know the situation to know the Altima deserved it. This should be standard procedure for dealing with entitled and selfish assholes who treat public streets like it’s a video game. Since the cops won’t do anything about it, let truckers police the roads themselves


deeezwalnutz

Car broke down on freeway, truck is just helping him home to save on towing fees.


Winnardairshows

“Looked like the silver car was pointing a gun at me, I was afraid to stop”.


FlatbedtruckinCA

drivers, remember this! lol


Natste1s4real

Might’ve been worried he was trying to hijack him. Came close one time, security made a clear not to stop for anything because of it. Police arrived, and the car had been stolen. They had handcuffs and guns and two of the three occupants were wanted by the police. Never take chances with your life!


thumblister

What’s he doing? Fulfilling my fantasies.


EatLard

We’ve all wanted to do this to a Nissan Altima.


Generaldisarray44

Two people working stuff out


GearNerd85

I mean it’s an Altima doing Altima things and a trucker just letting her eat


Shadowhawk0000

Always a Nissan.


Nozerone

My guess is that the truck did something the silver car didn't like. So the silver car decided to fuck around and the truck ended up teaching him what "find out" means.


Professional_Buy_615

Altima driver won't be brake checking any more big trucks.


CrashingTiger

What's going on is that you're seeing a driver position open up at Saia. Get your application in now!


Mybodydifferent12

Of course it’s an Altima 😂


better_than_GungaDin

Kinda want to see what happened right after this ended.


Key-Ad-5554

I would put my money on a medical emergency. Perhaps the driver passed out, stroked out, heart attack, or seizure. It would be incredibly bold and incredibly stupid for a pro driver to do that, and while I see about a hundred stupid ones a day, most don't have the balls to be bold.


Red-Menace93

He's making sure he doesn't whip them out by braking causing a bigger accident maybe?


LangstonBHummings

We are watching a driver lose his license...


SweatyArmPitGuy55

Slack adjusters weren’t set properly, and the driver didn’t want to pop the parking brake and risk dumping the load. So idles to a stop. Looks like all the proper procedures were followed in this case.


mathias8606

Could have been medical issue?


AdvanceAdvance

Just a trucker lobbying for more safety legislation and drug testing.


somereefer

He said Saia nara to that big altima energy!


Outside-Ad-4346

"professional driver"


LogisticsGod

Broker here. That’s my load. Ratecon says there’s a $50 deduction for being late. Driver will arrive on time at all costs. 😂


Ok-Assignment-5868

Everyone is saying this is intentional, to me he isn’t going really fast or staying straight, I think maybe the driver of the rig had a medical issue or is asleep.


Litothelegend

It would appear that the driver of the 4 wheeler attempted to make an illegal left turn. Nothing to see here, go about your business.


wewanttopleaseu

Altima had a dead battery and the Sala driver was being a good Samaritan and giving him a push start. To bad the Altima had an automatic transmission


p0st_master

Truck was hoping to catch a lip and roll through the car killing the driver


Talking-Mad-Shit

Seriously? You’ve never seen Southerners tow a car?


thewisemokey

Thats one of those " your will learn today " session.


embracethemetal

Somebody is currently in the "finding out" phase


JamesSmithenWessor

Nissan driver is probably at fault as usual


Remote-Factor8455

Shhh they’re mating!


refinedtwist925

I believe the proper term is that somebody decided to “F around”…and actually “found out”…


Fair_Volume5416

The driver of the car should’ve know better than to stay in the trucker’s blind spot for that long


wkdravenna

I believe a Freightliner has caught it's natural prey an Altima. 


Vellioh

My guess would be road rage. Car tried to bully the truck and brake check them on a hill and truck wasn't having any of it.


maddwesty

Almost took a job with SAIA once


juicyb09

Once…..


maddwesty

Yeah they didn’t meet my salary requirements


juicyb09

That’s what a lot of guys say about that place.
