Beware reckless S&S Hauling Services Truck driver

[csgray]

This morning at about 6:30 AM I was almost hit by an S&S Hauling dump truck whose license plate read HAULS4U.

I was headed up to the highway on Shower when this dump truck ignored the stop sign and pulled out onto Shower, forcing me off the road where I narrowly missed hitting a rock wall. When the driver got up to the highway he pulled all the way over into the oncoming lane to make the right turn, much farther than needed for the size of the truck; once on the highway the truck changed lanes 12 different times between Shower and the intersection with the Volcano highway, while driving faster than 60 miles per hour.

Either this truck had been stolen and was driven by someone who had no idea how to safely drive a big dump truck, or this company is employing the world's worst driver. Either way, if you see this truck, get out of the way before they endanger your life!

I presume you called the company to alert them about their unsafe employee?

I am tied up at work away from phone access until after work today, so I have not called. The only other time when I called a company about an unsafe driver the person who answered the phone called me a b***ch and hung up on me.

Too late now, Carol, but if you had a cell phone with you, you should have pulled over and called the Police while this outrage was still happening. The fact that you had a tag number and company ID would have made a big difference in their ability to respond. I would still call the company and let them know, and if they call you names or brush you off, hang up and post it here on Punaweb. Most Punawebbers would probably then mark that company off their list of haulers. If the management doesn't properly address your concern, I would also watch the classified and construction forums and mention this whenever anybody asks about haulers.

After doing a little internet research it looks like S&S Hauling is run out of someone's house on 27th, so that was probably the company owner who almost ran me off the road.

I wouls still call. Could have been an employee leaving the business property (as is the case with my neighbor who has employees come and go from compnay HQ.) I wouldn't paint ALL companies bad just because one reacted badly. Is like saying I drank coffee once adn it was bad therefore all coffee tastes bad. Like Rob T says - presume the best.....

Must have been hauling some "hot" rocks......

Don't call unless you block your caller ID first.
