Plea to auto/truck drivers from a motorcyclist

Hi,

Please check the back of your truck for anything that may “fly” out. I have had to “dodge” aluminum cans, plastic bags and small items that come flying out of the back of trucks. This applies to auto drivers also when something comes flying out of a window. I myself drive a truck and have seen things twirl in the back of my truck and didn’t think too much about it until now when I see the “twirl” from a truck in front of me while I am on my motorcycle. A paper bag may not seem like a big deal, but when anything comes flying at you so quickly it is hard to tell what it even is and being on the bike everything flying at you is a little scary.  I am now a much more diligent truck bed checker myself. Now this does not happen that often, but when it does…

Thank you.

P.S.   I saw a bumper sticker on a truck last night, “Watch out for motorcycles.” Where can I get one of those?
