A special thanks...
Just want to give a special thanks to the concerned citizen who reported a piece of plastic blowing off my trailer last week. You were kind enough to report me to the NC DOT Swat- A - Litterbug program who in returned sent me a very nice little care package explaining my wrong doing. Not only were you tailgating a large truck and trailer loaded with a excavator so that you could read a bent up and scratch license plate you were also going way over the speed limit to keep up with me. You my friend have just committed a very dangerous act, following too close to a mentally unstable person like myself doing his best to get back to the shop before sunset. Also you had to take your hands and attention off the wheel to carefully write my tag number down while going in excess of 70MPH. But I've learned my lesson, next time I'll be sure to slam on breaks, let you plow into the back of me as your tailgating to start with, skid to the side of the road, hopefully taking a few other fellow motorist out with me. Put on my flashers, dodge in and out of rush hour traffic on a major 6 lane highway while fellow morons like yourself talk and text on their phones. Pick up my piece of plastic and properly dispose of it in the small litter bag that the state has just provided me with
God I love my job

LOL she had to have gone through the red light to notice that you went through a yellow light.

Yeah, I got one of those calls. I was 'endangering' the kids in the minivan, I asked the officer if they thought I was so dangerous why they went flying by and waving I was number one? I was told I'm a professional and deal with it.
Yes sir, it will never happen again.

It would have been funny to have someone call the number on my door. I would ring my cell phone and we could have a nice chat!!
