For the record. I don’t hate or wanna belittle van drivers. They put up with a lot of crap imo.

I dont think i need to justify my experience to you. Ive had plenty of cars (and trucks) swerve or cut me off, or pull out. But i have yet to have to slam my brakes on full in order to prevent an accident.
You are within your rights to beleive i am
A. Full of manure
B. Lucky as a duck
C. Actually observant enough that I use my mirrors and constantly scan so that when those idiot other drivers do idiot things, I'm prepared and its not a surprise.

When I drive on a highway with a 65 mph speed limit, I usually average around 60 mph. If I drove so conservatively that I slowed down whenever there was a car at an adjacent stop sign, traffic light, or shoulder, I would probably average around 50-55 mph. Some trucking companies would not tolerate that. -
I am currently a solo driver, but I was a team driver for most of my career. Many of the teammates I have had would also have thrown a fit if I slowed down whenever there was a car on the shoulder or at an adjacent red light or an adjacent stop sign. These same douchebags would throw a fit if I had to slam on the brakes due to a retarded motorist pulling out in front of me when I had the right away though. -
Only hauled a van once and almost forgot it was back there .
Going to go back trucking soon hauling vans because I am too much of a Girly Man to tarp in the winter.
Frankly I’m terrified of bumping docks.
What is this backing thing they speak of?Linte_Loco, God prefers Diesels, jamespmack and 1 other person Thank this.
