I was just driving down the highway, drafting a truck. i was wondering whether i was pissing off the trucker or if he (or she i guess) cared, so i came here signed up and posted this to find out. So this is where i ask do you truckers mind us car folk to ride on your air draft?

Don't hit the truck or cause an accident, I don't care what you do.

if for some reason i break and u hit me.... according to my company im Screwed i get pinned with a Preventable Accident and probably fired if you die... our policy is to turn on the hazards and slow down until you pass us.... i don't know why they are making us pay for other people's mistakes but thats how it works at US Xpress

i never knew that and knowing that i have to say, wow that sucks because of some slow witted driver could lose you your job. i know i would never want to do that. so maybe i will also ask what companies have this policy and which don't? who can i draft without jeopardizing a job? i know if anyone puts on thier hazerds i know to go away

i noticed the other board with this question well answerd sorry for posting it... but i have a poll so i am better so vote today!!!

feel free to draft me...but i dought youd do it for long....i have jakes and im not afriad to use em...lol

If you want to draft try NASCAR!!

Instead of wanting to know what company would fire a driver for a wreck how about DON'T DO IT BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN SAFETY????????????? Seriously. And inform all your drafting friends that the few cents you save in gas isn't worth your life or being handicapped the rest of your life from a bad wreck.

Post a pic of the Transcraft DOT bar. Drafters could crash and burn on that one or even die and you would never feel it in the cab.

Keep in mind too....if your drafting that truck has 18 wheels on it, you have a windshield that's how big? One of those wheels can kick up a rock so hard your windshield is history, not only that, if they have a blow out and rubber starts flying - How much can your vehicle with stand?

People who draft are the first ones to call a company about a ding in their windshield, my husband had that happen on the highway one time. A man was drafting and a rock flew up and dinged his windshield, he started blowing the horn, flashing his lights and my husband thought he was going nuts! Luckily though, the guy did all this as they were passing a state patrol - the statey pulled out flashed for them both to pull over and checked everything out. The guy was p####d, the cop told him that he saw him drafting and he wasn't going to do anything about it, he got right in the guys face and "suggested" that he not do anything about it either and to stay off trucks butt! So, if you like your vehicle with no dings - I'd suggest staying back!
