    You will get a ticket from holding up traffic in the middle lane. Company cannot take the ticket & points for you & probably won't even pay the fine. Company is happy to burn up your CDL to lower their insurance/repair bills. Having a ticket will make it harder to get hired elsewhere. I'd suggest you leave before you get a ticket or you are going to be stuck at this company because of your tickets.

    I asked a guy last week if he got a tent after orientation to make camping out in the middle lane more comfortable……

    it isn't just California; I think the laws are the same in all 50.

    I know in Michigan, they have ticketed a lot of truckers for this idiotic stunt.

    52 in the middle lane is probably caused by the red Raider Express truck 5 miles ahead of you in the traffic.

    Some states have laws that state "keep right except to pass" which could possibly result in getting pulled over by DOT and receiving a warning and a DOT inspection.

    I worked at Roehl briefly when I was new. Their policy was to double clutch shift. Sure Mike, I'll get right on that. NOT!
