When was the last time you got your head cracked open for doing your job?
Clayton Agostini started off September 15, 2009 like it was any other day however this day would end with a beating and eating bad food at the hospital, which just totally disgust me! He just finished up a delivery in the Union Industrial Estate, which leads to the Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU) power plant being built to supply the Alutrint aluminum smelter stalled by a court order.
You see earlier last week some 350 workers downed tools to demand better terms and conditions of work. The company responded by locking out workers last Friday. Work on the $708 million power plant has been stalled since. I could see how this would piss off a group of workers who just wanted what was right for them
Clayton Agostini had just finished his delivery and was on his way out of the park when a angry group of protesters started to slam his truck with rocks, being blinded by glass he stepped out of his truck and was smashed in the head with a rock. Which sounds similar to the Reginald Denny beating during the Los Angeles riots back in the ninety’s. It is total fu#ked in both cases.
One of the protesters said “We were meeting in front of the gate and the truck wanted to go in, so we asked the driver to wait a bit but he just drove by, bouncing the man, and didn’t even stop.” No one could confirm if this even happened, no police reports where filed. Even if it did happen how about calling the fu@king cops and deal with the situation in a rational way. Yes you motherfuc^er$ are out of work, that sucks, I understand but damn. One thing is for sure, if this was my truck, in this situation the report would have been more like “trucker kills thirty protesters trying to save his life”
What would you do in this situation, would you take a as$whipping or roll a son of a b!tch over?

Hard times bring out the worst in people.
Some would say that “hard times bring out the worst in people”. I can agree that there is some truth in that statement however it is slightly optimistic. Lets face it, some people are just a$$holes. As the saying goes the one percent ruin it for the other ninety nine percent, that holds true to most things in life and trucking is no exception. Most men and women in the trucking industry are hard working people trying to take care of their families and financial responsibilities. Then there are those who are such f#ck ups they make everyone else look bad. For example, you could go about your life for weeks and not so much as notice a big rig but when one cuts you off or nearly kills your family making a lane change that kind of fear sticks with you right? You’re probably thinking about the last time it happened, can you remember what the last truck looked like that did the job the right way, probably not?!?
The media is always looking for a juicy story, one that will strike fear and conversation, one that your sure to remember just long enough till the next story is dumped on you. Recently in the desert sun there was a article about a stupid pr!ck (Angel Guillen-Raya) that got busted hauling 14 tons of marijuana, a street value of 25 million dollars and Riverside counties sheriffs biggest bust.
weed bust
This f#cking ass clown even went on to brag about how he got away with it just last week. Which makes me wonder why law enforcement officials didn’t use him as a guinea big to get to the bigger boss, after all he did admit to having a history of doing this, or does that just happen in the movies?
This guy maybe trying to bargain his way out of some jail time but one thing is for sure, he will be grabbing his ankles daily and suck!ng more cock then that chick from the Houston 500 gang bang video. No inmate likes a rat, a snitch, a softer then butter b!tch! This dude has reached a whole new level of douche’dom.
I do have to give Angel Guillen-Raya some credit for at least being honest enough to admit that he was guilty of the crime the same can’t be said for Lazaro Merino, 42, of Miami.
Trucker busted
Who was busted in Florida for having one hundred thousand dollars stored in a make shift fuel tank as reported on the Gainesville sun. What kind of a f#cking idiot would try to run drug money(or whatever) in a big rig? I thought the drugs went by truck or plane and money on small water craft and cars separate from one another? If your going to pick a life of crime sh!t at least be good at it. Please keep in mind these morons are a rare occurrence don’t let these douche bags be the ones you remember but instead next time wave hi to the trucker who is doing it the right way!
The east coast is running rampant with horrible truckers.

Texting while driving a tractor trailer.
Recently Virginia Tech Transportation Institute completed a study claiming that truckers who text while driving are 23 times more likely to crash or get into a near-wreck than an undistracted driver, while car drivers face the greatest danger when dialing their cell phones.(read that full story here) First I want to point out that I can agree with the fact that it is obviously dangerous to text and drive. However I would like to know why this “study” was done in the first place, They claimed “we are scientist, not politicians”, yeah alright fucker. This project has to be funded by someone hmm I wonder who that is? Clearly they have a political agenda. to BAN use of Cell phones all together.
driving and texting
I personally avoid texting while I’m driving. Not just because of the danger of it but because I refuse to have a conversation with someone in text when I could just pick up the phone and talk (Chicks love to have text conversations, gets some balls and man up, tell that bitch listen this is fucking stupid call me if you want to talk). I think anyone who holds down a conversation via text or IM instead of picking up the phone to connect on a level where at least the tone of your voice carries some emotion really needs to consider, is this out of convenience or are you sheltering yourself from the outside world to live your virtual life? Technology is great, at the same time it has made it really easy for people who suffer from anti social behaviors and other mental conditions to push themselves further into a dark hole, Lurkers are the majority of internet users after all.
To get back on point, I question the validity of this study all together. With out facts as to how they came to this conclusion I wouldn’t consider the use of this study in any legislation changes. Further more, even with all the data there are so many variables in a study such as this that it would be generalizable at best. Of course it is dangerous to drive distracted or even walk for that matter. Do you really need a three year study to show what common sense already tells you. No, of course not, however to change the law you do.
The bottom line is this, even if you put a ban on cell phones you can not put a ban on stupid. There are a million and one things to distract drivers, not just cell phones. I believe using cell phones is dangerous, I also believe that people should have the right to use their own discretion. More importantly is that if goverment starts with banning cell phones while driving where does the banning end?
This episode of the blind spot trucker talk show was full of total nincompoopary. No real topic was covere
