I was running i-30 in Tx pulling a 36' 5th wheel . Ahead a freightliner and a car was coming down the ramp . I change to the hammer lane to let them on . After they get on the car falls in behind me so I signal and change back to the granny lane about 100' in front of the freightliner. He hammers and passes me , I get his air horn and a finger as he goes by . I got on the cb and said " driver what's the problem " all I got back was a F U . Did I break a sacred code or something ?
What did I do wrong ?

If these idiots were capable of communicating in a sacred code, they'd be more cut out for work at the CIA. The dude was just an idiot, probably hopped up on all that Bronkaid and Pilot Flying J 400 oz diet cola. Maybe he's a bipolar maniac and is coming off his meds. We never know what other people are going through, especially if they've spent the last 6 days isolated in their truck cab with no voices to hear but the ones screaming in their heads.

It's hard to stay out of everybody's way and get the most out of your HOS ! Lol
Txdriver77, stwik and LGarrison Thank this. -
Yeah driver, didn't you realize who you were dealing with? Only the most important MF on the road! Can't believe you didn't realize the man was in a hurry. You got what was coming to you, and you have learned a harsh lesson as a result. Pfft...
Lepton1, Prof.Gringo, Txdriver77 and 3 others Thank this. -
about the only thing you did wrong was be courteous and watch out for others, probably just woke up mad and is going to be late for appointment

Screw him, I would have called his company and complained about his reckless driving.

F'em , next time don't change lanes, give him a reason to flip you off.

The proper response to someone's F U on the radio is to say, "sorry, you have me confused with your sister, BTW, you better hurry home...before your daddy get's to her 1st"
And he probably thinks he's superior because he's driving an 80k lb semi and you're just a wanna be rv hauler.. (his opinion, not mine) Probably doesn't understand that you're not on vacation, you're hauling your type of freight.Lepton1, Prof.Gringo, Txdriver77 and 2 others Thank this.
