What are some of the unwritten rules among truckers?

Only piss on your own tires....

 

...on the dry spot.

 

Hmm some unwritten rules! Oh here's one! Never under any circumstances ask what the rules are!

 

Howard and Carroll comes to mind. (Maryland my Maryland...) right there with you.

 

Put the phone down when backing.

 

Whys that if you don't mind my asking ?

 

I flash my lights to let others know they are in the clear.
Also If one guy can barely pass me and is going 64.2 when im traveling 64.05 mph,
I slow down just a hint to clear up the left lane.
It pissed me off when I was on the highway in my car and two trucks were blocking both lanes.
I told myself not to do that in which I dont.

 

Had a bullhauler block me in while we were evacuating a highway 67 here in Arkansas near McRae due to a fatal. I was working around everyone on the shoulder so he moved over.

I don't mind that behavior too much becuase I do the same myself with a 18 wheeler. What I did mind was that he never used the signal to get off for Heber Springs on that ramp. It would have helped us all to understand that yes he is getting off like everyone else.

Then again, he had no idea I am a old trucker on his cattle trailer anyhow. You don't know about those sorts of things. Unless there is a pathway via Waze or whatever you call that peer to peer vehicle-vehicle communications.
