    You know you captured a tremendous amount of admiration with this one & perhaps there just may be a chance that people's opinions of us ( Truck Drivers) might change. First off Prayers for whom ever took the Life Flight out , along with a huge applause for those volunteers that work the fly over portions of America that if not for them more people would encounter an untimely demise in out of the way areas. Lastly , the pulling over in a SAFE place to ease up the congestion. Your definitely utilizing the Drive For Five Method there as most people can't even begin to realize that by doing this one act . This one act reduced the huge amount of risk as those behind you would of eventually tried to pass. It goes to show that even the smallest decisions Saves Life's & only cost you , what ? Maybe 2 minutes . Well Done Driver !

      I was a volunteer EMS for 19 years. The greatest satisfaction was when we would receive a note or thank you card from a family member, for taking their love one to the hospital. Better than getting paid!!! I'm 68 years old, and now I may need the volunteer EMS!! Glad they are still on the job!!

    • @robertborchert932

      Yes sir! Most folks have no idea that over 80% of fire and EMS is volunteer. I drove ambulances for several years before joining the fire service. Moved up to Captain, Fire Crew brush monkey, helitack jumping from Hueys, crew boss. Had an HQ assignment for just under 2 years.
      Loved every minute of it, but I never signed up for the money. My community was the reason. Walked that thin line between full time and volunteer (reserve).
      I appreciate the IAFF for having my back, there was pressure in my agency to move me over, but I made that hard choice of supporting my little girls.
      I miss those days.

      @@Azlehria My Toyota 4WD had U-joints, and it could do easy 3-points. But some of these CV-joints have barely any flex at all. Particularly when a CV-joint is made to handle a 7-liter engine in a 1-ton pickup frame, the huge outer ball binds with only a slight steering angle. It is quite annoying, one always must plan ahead for maneuvering..
