Good luck with that

 

The nerve of some one to just ride beside him

 

yea, stay in my blind spot please!

 

I rarely move over for four wheelers. The on and off ramps are for accelerating or decelerating. A car can certainly get up to road speed in the distance the on ramp covers. They can either hit the gas and merge in front or fall in back where they belong. People need to be taught how to drive these days.

I do move for other rigs because they can't get up to speed quickly enough.

 

And look in your left side mirror while doing it instead of having you phone stuck in your left ear

 

And an awful lot of them in Texas!

 

Unfortunately true. If there's a bunch of them coming down the ramp, then I will try to get over, but no guarantees.

Car drivers do need to get more aggressive when they need to enter and exit a major thoroughfare. When I'm in my personal vehicle, as soon as I get on that ramp, my foot is down to get up to highway speed, no matter the length of the ramp. It's not that hard to do as long as you can do it without scaring the crap out of other drivers.

Too many drivers have no clue. There's the odd time where I need to bobtail from one of our terminals to another which I have to take Ontario Highway 401 to get there. There's a pretty good acceleration lane where I have to enter that is long enough that I'm doing 65 in my truck long before I get to the end. And yet, there are some idiots in cars who just lurch out into the traffic stream going slower than the other vehicles. They don't follow my example, they just hang out to my left behind me being dummies. Forget good mileage when it comes to smoothly merging into flowing traffic, and this coming from a lease/op who has to pay for the fuel my truck uses.
