They did some road work near me over the last several weeks. The first crew in had flaggers who were on the ball and did a great job of controlling traffic on a state highway that sees a lot of truck traffic. The 2nd crew in had flaggers that were a joke. I was going into town (our farm drive is on this state road) and came up on the flaggers truck. No flagger in sight. I slowed down any way because I knew there was work going on. When I got about 20 feet from the flaggers truck, almost at a stop, the flagger jumped out of the truck and started madly waving stop sign. I did stop and talked to the foreman to let him know. The flaggers were from a sub contractor and he was pretty upset about how they were doing the job but couldn't do much about it.
This road carries a lot of grain truck traffic from the end of July untill late winter or early spring. Some of the drivers are really pushing it and maybe shouldn't be driving.
So you guys who work the roads be careful. There are enough jerks out there behind the wheel to make it dangerous without pizz poor flaggers making it even worse!
