Three of the craziest things truckers have observed drivers doing

By virtue of their driving position, truckers have a comfortable perch—and a clear view of surrounding motorists.

Does this mean truckers want to look down into everyday folks’ cars? No. But it occasionally happens, so we’ve got to make light of it.

Here are three of the craziest things truckers have reported seeing people do in their cars:

1. Piano playing: One trucker reported seeing a man driving while playing a full-size piano keyboard set between the seats in his Suburban. Even if his stereo was broken, there has got to be another way.
2. Arts and crafts: People knit or sow while driving more often than they should, considering those activities, you know, take two hands.
3. Reading: How about the guy who tapes his book to the steering wheel? Not quite sure how he keeps his spot when turning the wheel. Then again, should the book really be there anyway?

Of course, the vast majority of our nation’s drivers practice safe driving habits. We understand that when people need to get somewhere in a hurry, they sometimes cut corners.

For us, though, cutting corners is not an option. Our rigorous training program and effective fleet management policies are the best in the nation.
