They have overtaken the city of Forest Lake. They cause traffic jams and block intersections. Going the speed limit on Highway 97 is a thing of the past. They are huge. Construction trucks. Dump trucks. They tailgate me. I tailgate them. The now infamous "SiDumpers" travel to and fro along our one and only route to the freeway. Back and forth from their home station to what I believe is the casino racetrack project.
As I sat behind 5 of them in a row today at a stoplight I pondered what excuse I could find to complain to the city. What law could they be violating that if the police would enforce would get them off the road. I thought of nothing, but I'm most certain their should at least be a law prohibiting their travel during rush hour, when it takes 10 minutes to travel ONE mile.
They make us late. They make me nervous (one almost hit me today crossing the yellow line). They make me mad.
Just for fun I took a headcount today on my 4 mile trip down the highway when I returned home from getting Kaylin at VBS today. 32 of them. I saw 32 trucks longer than semis in 4 miles. I don't think I saw that many cars.
Perhaps a young Bob the Builder fan would enoy the parade. I'd rather never see another dump truck in my life.
