I've noticed that too. Especially when the semi-truck doesn't have a trailer/cargo, they are hauling ass down the road just like any other car.
I hate semis on the freeway and do my best to avoid them, especially because of their rock hurling, windshield cracking tires.
From what I've heard, there's a plan with the city to route all semi traffic through the 7 once 98 becomes a 4-lane passage all the way through. This was a politician talking, so we'll see if and when that happens.
Were these semis on 98 or on Andrade and Kloke? |

| quit whining about semi's and trucks on your streets. the people that own these rigs pay for all your streets and highways. they also deliver EVERYTHING you consume. |

Kinda harsh, don't you think?
Semis shouldn't be blazing down residential areas. I had one rev up their engine at the intersection the other day cause they wanted to race me... Alright, that's bullshit.
I have no problem with them on 98, Cole, Imperial, etc., but if they are cruising up and down Las Casitas interrupting our street football, la migra, pac-man or street sun bathing, then that's a problem. |

there is no way a semi was going to race you. truck drivers are far better drivers than anyone else that's on the road. they have far more to lose so I seriously doubt they're "blazing down residential areas." bajale guey. |

Obviously you missed the part where I said, "Alright, that's bullshit?"
I have seen unhitched semis hauling ass down streets before. That's not bullshit. |

They may not be burning rubber, but they are driving over the speed limit that is intended for regular cars and trucks.
Why would I lie? I have friends and family that are truckers and if I saw them doing this I'd tell them to slow the hell down. |
