I don't know about you,but the ones that irritate me the most are the ones that fly up on you then sit at the corner of your trailer like you're suppose to slow down and let them pass you. That goes along with the ones at night that feel putting their brights on make them more visible for safety reasons,not realizing they just blinded me and I can no longer see where they are!!! Of course once they do get passed you,they slam on their brakes and expect you to not end up in their drivers seat. They can mutitask all they want as long as they stay out from under my truck. __________________ If the wheels ain't turnin',I ain't earnin'!!!

Especially when you are in the middle lane, and there is one on either side of the trailer... like clingons... and imagine how all the traffic feels backed up behind them! Actually, sometimes it works in our favour, cos then we dont have to find a gap to get into... they have created one for us without wanting to! __________________ Be yourself: everyone else is taken.

Then you have the ones that ride beside you in a construction zone,They stay there till they get all the way to the barrels,then want to honk their horn and flip you off cause they can't get over.But my favorite ones of all times are the ones who drive along side you on a three lane over in the show off lane,then want to speed up,cut you off,honk,and flip you off to catch a ramp,only to find the one they needed is the next one down. __________________ If the wheels ain't turnin',I ain't earnin'!!!

I see some crazy stuff...I ALWAYS slow down to let an 18 wheeler in, unless I'm stuck myself. Much respect to you... __________________ Sometimes The Sun Shines Through The Rain...

It was en route to us going back up to Canada every time we went that way.

I don't know if she meant the Flying J..... or if there's another private truck stop called Carney's Point. Is the flying j on I-295? Quote: Originally Posted by myminpins Huh?
