    I'm not sure if it is unspoken, but if you see a fellow trucker on the side of the road and you can safely move over to the left... do so.

    Don't forget the ones that mash on it at the last minute when you go to pass them, and slow down again once you fall back in behind them. :rolleyes:

    This I'm use to. Lol 4 wheelers do this all the time. Didn't realize truckers did this to each other.

    Here is another tidbit. Im really bad about this one.

    Here we all come up on a open scale house. Two miles to go. Everyone starts swapping lanes jockeying to get in line.

    What they don't see is little old me 15 below speed limit lumbering along allowing all sorts of truckers ahead of me in my nice half mile long strip of empty lane. Thank you sir, thankee kindly, awesome driver, etc.

    Me? Im just packing the scale house so taht they will be full when I get here.

    I mostly see it from 4 wheelers and very occasionally from truckers.

    I love the display of craftmanship work on that long nose hood. Someone knew what they were doing when they installed those louver cowls.
