    You can't be serious? I run the northeast every week and I end up passing trucks and they end up passing me 5-7 time's from hills. You can't expect that other driver to stray behind your empty 65 mph ### down a hill holding his breaks loaded at 44,500 do you? That my friend is 'Just retarded..."

    Sometime you have a driver going so slow down hill just to block us who have weight pulling us down hill, I need the speed going down hill so I don't have to go 15 mph up the hill. You have to take that into consideration.

    I understand that, I cant blame ya for cooking to get up the next hill, im talking about when there isnt any next hill and its flat. Or how about the guy going 62 in a 65 and when you actually go to pass him he speeds up to 65 and sits there when your almost past him. Doesnt that suck?

    Im not arguing with anyone here, I am just speaking my mind and im getting bored so anyway..

    Well since you're from Cali too....You might be familiar with leapfrog games played by the NAFTA rigs...Mainly on the 5 and 99

    They'll be hanging at 55 mph sometimes in pairs....

    You pass them up and get a few miles ahead of them.....

    Next thing you know....here they come...running 70 mph and they pass you and swing in front....immediately brake checking to 55 again.....

    -Rinse...Repeat- So effingham annoying.....:biggrin_25510:
