FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: NO CONSIDERATION FOR TRANSPORT TRUCK DRIVERS IN SAINT JOHN!

I HAVE A FRIEND UP IN NORTHERN ONTARIO THAT HAS A BROTHER THAT DROVE TRANSPORT FOR MANY YEARS. MY FRIEND AND I GOT TO SIT IN THE CAB WHEN WE WERE TEENS AND HE SHOWED US HOW MANY GEARS THERE WERE , HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS TO BRAKE , MANOEUVRE ETC. SO EVEN THOUGH I NEVER WENT NEAR THAT KIND OF VOCATION I WAS ABLE TO HAVE AN IDEA HOW DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE TO DRIVE ONE AND FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN OVER THAT LAST DECADE AROUND TOWN, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT COURTESY THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ON THE NEWS ABOUT PEOPLE IN GENERAL IN SAINT JOHN EXISTS. NOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT EVERYONE BUT THERE ARE ENOUGH THAT HAVE NO DECENCY ABOUT RESPECTING OTHER DRIVERS , ESPECIALLY TRUCK DRIVERS. I HAVE SEEN THOUGH WHEN I'M AT OR NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE IRVING MILL THAT CARS JUST ZOOM BY AND DON'T STOP TO LET TRANSPORTS OUT. MAYBE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE TO DRIVE A TRANSPORT. I LET EVERYONE IN IF THERE IS ONE WAITING. I ACTUALLY GOT BEEPED AT WHEN TRYING TO LET ONE IN OR OUT OF A SIDE STREET OR INDUSTRIAL ENTRANCE. DOWN AT LANCASTER MALL, THERE ARE MANY TRANSPORTS THAT HAVE TO BACK INTO THE SHOPPERS WEST LOADING DOCK. THEY START TO BACK UP, YOU CAN HEAR THE BEEPS BUT THEY STILL GET CUT OFF BY MOST VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. IT'S SAD TO SEE. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE DELIVERING ALL OF OUR GOODS AND PRODUCTS. SO SAINT JOHN, ON THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND, WHEN YOU SEE A TRANSPORT TRYING TO GET INTO OR OUT OF SOMEWHERE, STOP!!! LET THEM GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GET TO!
