    A situation occured that needs your input

    I am glad that you stood up to him. I just get so mad at people that the words won't come out. I'm afraid I wouldn't of said anything and then been mad at myself! People like him tarnish the impression that the general public has of drivers. Way to go.

    Do you really need a hazmat endorsement?
