I don't know what kind of work this company does but 2 guys in one of their trucks (looks a bit like the white truck in the picture above) dang near ran me and my wife off the road last Thursday late morning on 120 between Oakdale and Jamestown. I was in the slow lane and they decided they needed to pass me at the last minute when the passing lane merged with the slow lane. Not safe and not nice! Have a great Labor Day though!
