Illuminated cosmos is WRONG! I am in and out of Tidewater Transit quite often. They do not haul "a full load of timber". This is a tanker operation and they haul liquids in a tank like I do. You cannot drive liquid all crazy like that. You have to be very careful with your driving and lane movements. Illuminated cosmos needs to make sure they have the correct business before slamming them.

As a side note. Tidewater rents space in the lot that they use and the owner rents space to other trucking companies also. Perhaps he saw a truck leave the lot and assumed it was a Tidewater truck when in reality it belonged to another company that uses the same lot. And, the better business bureau can't help you. If you witness unsave driving it needs to be reported to the local police, state police, or department of transportation and let them look into it.

These truck drivers are the most dangerous drivers I have ever seen! They consistently change lanes on a two lane Highway that goes through a populated town and they are carrying a full load of Timber. The way they drive is Criminal and somebody should really do something about it. In fact, you best believe I am reporting them to Better Business. I wouldn't doubt it if they were the entire reason this area has bumper to bumper traffic no matter what time of day it is. I'm absolutely tired of dodging there horrible driving and being in fear for my life and the life of other motorists.
