    What would you add to the truckers code of ethics?


    Example:
    Flash people in when it's safe.
    Thank you flash back for the flash in.


    Please add what you can to the code...

    Slow your ### down !!!

    They call it a parking lot for a reason.

    Otherwise it would be called a race track, or an interstate.

    As you have learned from this thread. There are no ethics anymore.
    It's dog eat dog now.

    There are ethics...Seeing them put into play is not too common these days. Rather than list what would be considered ethics like this thread askes it makes more sense to me to try to get it out there during the course of regular conversations.

    Give more than 1/2 a trailer length between our bumpers before cutting back in!!!!!!

    Note: Sorry. I've had 8 semi's leave about 1.5 CAR lengths when cutting back in on I-5 in the past 2 runs. Not in the cities either.

    If I move over to let you on the interstate, let me back over in front of you even if you have to slow down slightly and don't pace me for the next 5 miles.
