I am already seeing a few answers to my questions coming out of the comments made by each. I see now I should have just asked in the forum instead of a more direct and honest route. As a Yoga instructor I have picked up a few paths to enlightenment. One is to do no harm, two is to be honest and straight forward in all that I do. I want to figure out if short haul drivers are over bearing, bullies, and tend to drive as they own the road because that is their personality. Why is there such a large divide between long haul and sort haul drivers? Has driving those large vehicles in traffic day after day created road monsters? Does being alone for long hauls make you more gentler towards others on the road? How did each driver end up in either short haul or long haul, by choice, by fate, by force? Has driving large vehicles created the type of driver you are, or has each driver been true to their selves. The the truckers that have left a lasting impression on me have been long haul truckers from many years ago. Even then I saw the difference between (no offense to anyone, I just happened to live in a logging area) logging truck drivers and highway drivers to be like night and day.
I am sure you want to ask what does it matter to me. Who cares it is what it is. Has no affect on how I teach yoga. But it does, I want to know is it nature or nurture. I would say I driver better then most people. When turning right I pull my car out of the way of the cars behind me going straight, I know that I am to turn into the closet lane so that someone turning left may turn at the same time. Some of my passengers say that I assume too much, but for me I am not assuming anything, I know the rules of the road and when I am hit I will know exactly how the accident happened and it won't be because I didn't follow the rules of the road but some one else broke a rule and I ended up in their path because they were not not following the rules of the road. As much as I love driving, road trips and just being behind the wheel I could not drive a rig. My confidence just fails me. So to see people with the skills and ability to move rigs around amazes me, what perplexes me the attitude of the drivers behind the wheel of those rigs. So you tell me, has long haul driving made more professional drivers out of you while short haul has caused you to become stressed, bitter, jaded, bullies of the road? Or has that been your nature all a long? -
We are a bunch of adrenaline junkies, why else would one care to drive down a highway with a bunch of unconscious morons in cars that think that the very trucks that make their very existence possible are supposed to be cut off in traffic and pulled in front of at intersections. take the fools in the cars off the road and the truckdriver will become as placid as a yoga instructor, the rest of the time we are a pretty would up bunch when the car pilots try to knock the cornerbits off of the D9 blade that is hanging a foot off each side of the deck with big fluorescent orange flags flapping in the breeze.
