This happened near my house today….

4.79 for diesel? That’s cheap

 

[slattimer]

Is that just the semi on fire or did it get to the gas pumps?

just the semis

 

[Tyneb23]

Bump because they are still scum. Expect for Nebraska equipment driver

I run across drivers with Hawkeye vanity plates and "Pickle Smoochers mom" stickers in the same vehicle with some regularity so semis might need to up their game

I love this thread because the answer is yes.

For what they bring to the world, I respect them and their occupation. But as a driver myself, I think they are the worst part about driving anywhere.

I80 across Cockeye is the worst. You are in the left passing lane and all of a sudden when the trucker is going UPHILL, the decide to try to pass the semi in front of them cutting you off. No way, they don’t see you approaching in their rear view mirror….

At least it’s 3 lanes between Omaha and Lincoln.

I drove from Denver to Lincoln yesterday so yes I’d agree

Aren't they also expanding to 3 lanes between Grand Island and Lincoln?

I had not heard that. Would be good to start with York to Lincoln at least.

 

[Mavsker]

I hope not. Western Nebraska starts when I-80 goes to 2 lanes so if they expand to 3 between Lincoln and Grand Island I'd no longer be a western Nebraskan!

They are expanding to 3 lanes out to GI, but being 56 y/o, I may be dead before it's completed.

They just started the 1st 7.5 mile stretch west of Lincoln.

NDOT job bids to expand I-80 from west 56th in Lincoln for about 7-8 miles west on Thursday 11/2/23.

My bad. I meant the process has been started on the first stretch.

Given how long it took them to expand to 3 lanes between Lincoln and Omaha, we may all be dead before it’s done.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Nothing worse than these mindless cocksuckers taking up both lanes on I80 for 15 miles trying to pass each other

No that’s minivans, Jeeps and gigantic and regular pickups. Absolutely tools

 

[NTXHusker]

some are definitely dirtbags. A lot of them have governors on their trucks so they cant go over 70 mph which is out of their control

Then stay in the right line or if you’re there, back off so the other guy can complete the pass.

 

[Tyneb23]

3 miles so far

Fuck that guy.

 

[Tyneb23]

Here we go again. 3 lanes of truckers. Yes there is a truck on the far right.

 

[Juro]

Yeah, I had a few of those situations coming back from Madison last week. Thought about bumping this thread when I was waiting on them to pass.
