    Could be he meant the COMPANIES that govern their trucks at 62MPH is the problem with the truck.

    In 1995 i broke down on I-78 east in PA.when my clutch gave out.It took about
    10hrs for my company to send a wrecker to tow me to a shop for repairs.While i
    was waiting at least four trucks pulled over to see how i was doing since i didnt
    have my CB on to answer them to let them know what my problem was.now if you
    break down or are pulled over on the side of the road most drivers today wont
    even move over into the hammer lane when they pass by you.Sure their were a
    lot of jerks on the road back then,there always has been.The problem today is
    that courtesy and respect for other people is becoming a thing of the past.This
    is the brave new world of trucking,get outta my way im in a hurry,screw everybody
    else on the road full speed ahead.Dosent matter if your in a construction zone or
    driving thru a blizzard.Its no wonder the DOT is coming out with new driver saftey
    data criteria over the next few years its just a reaction to this type of behavior.

    What part of your attempt to reference a Governed Truck as being a problem for "anything" would you like me to explain ?

    I didn't ask you to explain my "attempt" to reference anything. How could you do that? Your "bs" comments were directed at my post. I guess I was just trying to elicit some explanation for your tone. Forget it, I have.

    Only BS Comments I made were to this post
    quote:
    Even if he had a gun could he have brought it to bear as a deterrent? It's hard to know as there may have been a sneak attack. I wouldn't get out to discuss things w/ any motorist who I thought was in an angry disposition toward me. I'd keep rolling more than likely, unless there had been a crash I was involved in somehow. In that case, before getting out I'd be sure the police were there and asking me to come out. Having said that I always have my 12 ga. in the cargo net on back wall of my sleeper in case someone tries to break in the cabin.

    Then the one where you attempted to blame a Governed Truck
    quote:
    I've never heard challenges to fight but have heard some abusive language on cb. Mostly over who should or should not be in the passing lane. These governed trucks are a problem in that respect but that's a whole nother problem that we're not going to solve here. I seldom say too much on my radio but keep my attention on the road. I do monitor it though because it can give me another set of eyes and ears on my truck and the road. The most annoying thing on cb is the long winded jeremiads on various topics including drivers reading or reciting religious tracts or people selling things...

    But you don't explain your comments. That's all I was asking: for you to elaborate.
