Yeah when you are up against your 11 hour clock you can't dilly dally behind the guy going 64 in a 65, must pass over the double yellow line into the oncoming traffic, yeah that 64 MPH guy will get over for me.
This actually happened to me twice today-- being passed on a 2 lane against double yellow no-passing stripes.

has nothing to do with elogs... has to do with the quality of people being hired.
ASmallFleetDriver, Streamer and Raiderfanatic Thank this. -
OK I'm guilty of click-baiting lol I know this guy was not on Elogs, I was just in a Penske truck myself recently. I figure this guy's truck broke down like mine did and he is renting to keep making money. No elogs, no tracking devices no reports back to the UPS mothership he figures he can hammer down and go super truckin'. OOPs I just posted the video up on UPS Facebook page.
Raiderfanatic Thanks this. -

Just work for a decent paying company where a few extra cents an hour of driving wont make or break you XD

Elogs and the 14 hour running clock sucks!
diesel drinker Thanks this. -
Is that 287 headed up towards Limon, CO? That stretch can be a pita with the blind hills and short passing areas(in some spots) and such. What I do is this...if I notice a faster truck behind me, I'll get on the brakes(and move slightly to the shoulder so he can see) and let the guy pass safely since he's obviously faster. No sweat and no sense in holding the guy up...and best of all, it takes all of 5 seconds. Courtesy is a lost art, it seems. (not blaming Scottie for lack thereof, just saying...)

This driver was acting like an entitled princess that their time on this planet was so much more important than any one else's. -
