Default I feel so Bad

In Utah this afternoon on Hwy 70 a few miles east of the Moab turnoff. Driving my pickup and pulling a 16 ft cargo trailer. Whole traffic line doing about 80mph. I spot a motorcycle on the side of the freeway and I move over a lane as well as traffic behind me. As I get along side a guy on a black Harley holds up a white piece of paper, I could not see what was on it. Traffic was on my *** and could not pull over and if I did i would be a half a mile away and could not backup with the trailer. I felt bad not being able to help. Hope he got help.

Rough crowd. It is hard to pull over these days, traffic is moving so fast on the interstates.

Last time I pulled over for a guy with a blowout, on I90, he backed his car down the entrance ramp to get away from me. Weird.

Hell when I'm running in traffic it seems like I don't see a scooter in the side of the road until I'm on them and past them. I'll stop if I can do it without getting run over.

Are you sure his sign didn't say " Will Ride for Food"?

Toilet paper. But he'd have to write really small.
