Since I have no ideal what took place before this, I wonder if maybe there was some road rage involved, he seem to know just when to cut you off without actually wrecking, even that would still be wrong in a truck, but still could have been mad over something the op did. We will never know the truth , so just learn and be safe out here.
Western Express cuts me off going up mountain.

Western Express has a lot of talent on the road... LOL..... You got that dash cam I would have let him me... Western Express just received there settlement from Pilot I'm sure you would have gotten a nice settlement... -
yeah just like I dont get over too close either, if I leave plenty of space then there is no reason for me to be at fault when rear ended by an idiot. Sometimes I get those arseholes who decide they want to speed up and keep me from trying to get over. -

he likes to take his shirt off then hang out the window to excite the other drivers
Woody87 Thanks this. -
Lol, not quite what I meant, but, funny, though.

I'm sure he heard the horn.

Gonna try to get all the questions in one post here.
Nope, my highbeams were not on. It's a 2012 freightliner. They come with VERY bright low beams.
2. Nope, no road rage at all before the incident. Just going slow pulling 78,000 up the hill
3.there was 3 lanes so there was absolutely no need for him to pull in front of me and no one was tailgating him.
4. Either he was falling asleep or just being a d***, because maybe he didn't like the company I work for.
I have no idea really. he didn't say anything on the CB before or after, but I made sure to let him know that his company will see this video.
I sent the video to W.E.'s facebook page. So if their safety department is worth a hoot they will take a look at it.
No damage was done, but this kind of recklessness seems to be getting worse lately.
Not sure if it is incompetence, stupidity, lack of training, road rage, or all of the above.daf105paccar Thanks this. -
Gee's dude take a chill pill we all make mistakes. Sometimes when we go to look in the mirror. We start heading in that direction accidentally. I'm sure that has never happened to you. I'm glad we have the cam police out sending video's to the companies face book page and making post about it on trucking forums.
JustNva Thanks this. -
On level ground I will drop back 1MPH when I see someone about to pass me then an additional 2MPH when their cab is in front of mine when the truck is a CRST, CR England, Swift, Prime, etc. Just not worth it to surrender a minute. I don't like to slow down when in the mountains going up a steep grade as I may need that power.
