I had enough with the inconsiderate 4 wheelers on the roads today..Used to be, people would give you a break once in a while..Not any more.. Years ago , I was hauling a Cat 955 on a Carry-all for Mahnen Machinery in Brunswick , Ohio..I was on my way from 71 to Old 21 to a freight terminal construction job..Heading to Penninsula, there's a large hill with a township road to the right..A school bus was waiting at the side road..I was running a REASONABLE speed so I could make the hill on the other side..At the last second , the bus pulls out right in front of me..I looked ahead and saw no on-coming traffic and headed for the left lane , barely missing the bus..I slowed and looked in my mirror , saw the bus coast to a stop and just ease into the shallow ditch...The only thing that really sticks to mind was looking at the kids in the bus as I passed them up...Got on the company radio and got help pronto..The bus driver had a heart attack that caused this frackus...I got back and informed my immediate boss that he should stick that "one stack Mack with no shack on the back" right where the sun don't shine..I gave up my Chaufers License for a regular license..Then this job with the township came up and guess what?? You got it..I had to go take my CDL test....good luck....
