Today, I cheated death. I was in the company truck goin on an on-ramp to the highway, and this large 18-wheeler truck merges over into my lane, either without looking, or he just couldn't see me. he kept merging closer and closer and I couldn't slow down, or speed up fast enough so I went to the emergency lane, but the problem there was we were goin over a bridge and the emergency lane ended. There was just a guardrail and then a huge drop. I was getting sandwhiched. I could have fucking sworn that it's tires hit the side of my truck on the left, and the guardrail side swiped the right side, but I slowed down and downshifted into 3rd (for the fastest possible stop) and luckily made it out alive and the truck had zero scratches on it. I then sped up, honked, and gave him the finger. I usually don't get roadrage, and it's not permitted in the company truck, for fear of callers calling in and complaining about my driving. But I almost died cuz of this asshole, so all rules went out the window. When I got back, my heart was thumping like mad, and I was kinda shaking. I told everyone and they just laughed. Then they sent me on another delivery. Screw this world.
