I'm glad I decided not to become a truck driver. I went to Schneider truck driving school in 2001 but decided it wasn't for me and I dropped out. I feel for you guys and gals being harassed by the cops on a daily basis. I don't know how you all do it. Kudos to you all and thank you for delivering the goods.
Lights and sirens for a mile the officer said , so if you are traveling at 60 miles an hour that is 1 minute to cover 1 mile ,how often do you look in your mirrors , if he is right behind you ,you will not be able to see him . I rest my case .
@@VICRAM809 As a ex lgv driving instructor here in the UK i agree , but in the real world with all the other things we have to check whilst driving , speed ,gauges ,sat nav it is very easy to extend that period of time .

You made a mistake but you handled it very well. You followed his instructions and you stayed calm so the situation didn’t escalate. Good job and apologizing at the end didn’t hurt. I think he had started to calm down a bit and that was because you had stayed calm and did as you were asked and you didn’t escalate the situation
You're lucky he had a more urgent call to get to. Law Enforcement is cracking down on drivers not moving over for Emergency Vehicles across the country.
You can't always move over if you have a car to your left which as soon as you signal the cars wanna jump out there......by your comment please don't ever drive a truck you'll hit somebody...
First Big Mistake was you Never, Ever, Ever, Ask the Officer to “Please Calm Down”. Best thing to do is keep your Mouth Shut and let him do the Talking. 🙏
They only did that once to me. I handed him my bill of lading and told him it was his responsibility. I dropped my trailer and left the scene. Cost the State of Texas 355 billion dollars. And it's legal.
You handle that very well. He was looking for you to be angry. Anger breeds anger. Good job JB and we bless the patrolman in love. God bless him and his family. ❤
You know you saw him. Move over, I drive trucks also, and if I’m on the side of the road the truckers and 4 wheelers 40% never move over. Last emergency someone took out one of my triangles.🤬🤬🤬🤬
First off, Johnny Boy, you handled that PERFECTLY! The officer didn't handle it properly. We can't always see what's behind us at the drop of a dime. To me it's just another case of law enforcement going too far.
Camera had nothing to do with it. Cameras are everywhere now. He had a call to get to. Troopers have to deal with distracted drivers all day long. It gets very frustrating.
And you need to learn to spell siren ......you weren't there so you don't know if John could even get over in a timely manner....it's a 80,000 lb truck you don't just whip it over ...... think before speaking
Nobody is perfect and a mile without checking your mirrors is too long. As a truck driver, I have a lot (not all) to do with what's in front of me but I always want to know what's coming up on me.
I get the cop. All the other cops are hanging out in the doughnut shop and you can't get to them because of a truck blocking you. I would be pissed too. Seriously.
If the officer comes at you with the “do you know what lights and sirens mean” you do not have the luxury of telling the officer to calm down. Stop playing the victim, and take responsibility for your actions.
Someone posted this on Facebook, and since you're not there, I assume it wasn't you. This trooper is very unprofessional. I would expect this maybe in Massachusetts, but not Virginia. Safe and happy travels, John!
That’s not right the way the office treated u sorry Johnny u when thought that wow, we need to treat are drivers with respect without are truck drivers this country would stop
@@24juan68 yeah he treated Johnny like is was a criminal my god, I been watching his videos for years a great driver and a great human being, just cause u have a batch doesn’t give you the right to talk to people that way he needs to learn some patience
What would we do without these "heroes" out here protecting us in the 1984 nanny state that we live in ? F T P . If it was so important why did he have time to pull him over ?
California Highway Patrol Officer who later murdered a young lady was the same guy who gave me a ticket back in 1985. Craig Peyer gave me a ticket for following too close. He was on the side of the road giving someone else a ticket when a motor home going 45mph pulled out in front of me as I was in the passing lane. I blew the horn at the motor home, and eased up to the motor home instead of slamming on my brakes and possibly jackknifing the truck. Peyer saw (and heard me) and jumped in his car and pulled me over. Said I was tailgating and I tried to explain to him what happened and he never said a word after my explanation . Didn't speak one word to me and just gave me the ticked. Saw him on the news months later arrested for murder. Some cops are great, some are not.
I agree driving thru VA can be a bit challenge with the mountains&sun glare in morn&eve plus all the noise. Here in NJ "everyone stays in slow lane unless u pass", at least thats the rule..but doin? Thats another topic.
Police telling someone to drive better ,that's one for one for the books .😅

You admitted your mistake and handled the situation perfectly. That's probably all he wanted to hear

YES you did! It gets worse and worse every year even among fellow drivers.
Who wants to do OTR? Those are for loner truckers that fit their lifestyle. LTL is what you want
Just remember folks. They get paid to act professional we don't. Just imagine how this officer talks to his children when they don't listen to him.
On the contrary, it’s possible that when he goes home, everyone is the boss

You are a good driver John. Don't let rude people get you down. Stay safe and thank you for the hard work you do.
It taught me to be more vigilant
Just a cop flashing a badge shouldn’t have been that disrespectful
On my part or his?
His fast walking tantrum back to squad car was funny, LOL. I bet he’s never pulled a trailer of any size in his life. He has no idea what it’s like.
Sounds like he was having a bad day and unfortunately decided to take it out on you. You were probably the nicest guy he met that day too!
If you watch the road in back of you, you aren't watching the road in front of you
Also. He said he ran code behind him for a mile. Wow. That is 60 seconds or less
very hard to believe it was for a mile - that's a pretty long stretch
60 seconds is an eternity
They are so hard to hear and see sometimes. I'm surprised that it seems like this has never happened to him before.

When I noticed that he was right up my bumper
I'm sorry you had to go through that, JBG. 😥
The answer is….”I pulled over as soon as I noticed you.”
A mile isn’t anything. What a putz.

Their egos are so severely bruised if you don't immediately obey their "au'tho'ri't'tay"
So much for professionalism by the Police - always uncontained anger and hate for ALL citizens.
