Ozinga cement trucks in Chicago

Just wondering if anyone else thinks the Ozinga cement truck drivers in Chicago drive like maniacs. You know the ones with the red and white stripes...

I usually encounter them around Clybourn/Elston/Cortland. I think they drive like maniacs. Either they drive past super fast, super close, or they cut people off (drivers of cars as well). I know they have limited visibility, and limited mobility/maneuverability, but jeez! I don't have trouble with any other large trucks on such a regular basis. Just wondering if anyone else sighs when they see one up ahead or behind, or anywhere close.

i find truck drivers about the same size vehicle as the cement trucks seem to drive the same way. the wake coming off them is a bit nasty too.
