None of that is relevant. Who cares if you can operate a car on a closed course at a high rate of speed in a straight line? Big whoop. I have no issues running an 18 up a narrow road with the outside duals hanging over the edge of the pavement and my mirrors 6" from the mirrors of oncoming trucks. Hills, curves, and narrow roads make me happy...anyone can set the cruise and hold it between the lines on the interstate. Navigate your way through a jobsite that should've been bid for class B tandem dumps, and there you are with a 39' frameless. Or better yet, back your way up a narrow gravel lane that winds its way up hill to a job site to dump off...I've posted that video a few times now, let me know if you'd like to see it again.
There's a difference between being lucky and being good. Bad habits make you lucky if you haven't wrecked. Myself, I'd rather be good.

I love my hood mirrors.
To each their own but anything that helps reduce blind spots is good IMO.
I also like my windshield clear. My gps is mounted on the face of the dash.MACK E-6 and Trucking in Tennessee Thank this. -

From what I've seen, most people with CDLs don't drive much different than they do in their cars...with their head in the same place. If you aren't striving to be better, you're willingly and actively part of that group.
Your luck will run out eventually...I just hope nobody I know is in your path when it does. -

Wouldn’t it be easier to just drive how you and drive and let him drive how he drives instead of crying about it? If you check your mirrors every 2 sec and he looks every 5 min does that make you loose sleep at night ?
