driving side by side with another truck...

Must be nice to only need one hand on a dirt track!

 

hahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was to lazy to read all the post but if someone mentioned this already I apologize. When two large vehicles are driving/passing one another, a low pressure area is cause between the trailers which will cause them to pull towards each other. I have been in this situation several times and it really does seem like they are swerving at you but they are actually being sucked towards you. I don't drive a big rig yet but you can really feel it when pulling a huge enclosed trailer with a pickup and a tracker/trailer passes you. I can actually feel my trailer pulling me towards the semi. I automatically start steering away from them when I see coming up behind me.

Also when you are fighting a cross wind and another vehicle temporarily blocks it, you will end up swerving towards them or away depending on the wind direction. I also plan ahead for that to happen. I have come close to "Kissing trailers" and it is a lesson learned quickly.......lol

 

lol- needed the other to keep the door closed.

DId I recover from that typo gracefully, or am I still eating dirt in turn 3?

 

Coming out of 4 more like it ........... but you're supposed to have a supply of motorcycle straps to hold things like doors on...... don't you know that??

 

Back in the day, all we had was wire... and it sometimes was less than stellar at the job
