    Lay off the arrogant postings then. You don't exactly drive for the top carrier in the industry, and we all do what we have to to get these loads down the road.

    Including getting a little gravity assist to help pad the minimum fuel economy bar. So sorry that Prime driver incovenienced your ego a little. How about you show a little class, and not play kindergarten games in front of the guy going back up the next hill?

    When he slows down to 40 to climb the hill and I am doing it at 60 then he needs to quit cutting me off at the bottom of the hill. I am going to do what I do to keep him back there and quit almost causing an accident cause he doesn't know what jack brakes are. nothing arrogant about me being able to climb a hill and them not being able to. You know the type of guys I'm talking about no matter the company. If you can't pass me unless your going down the hill then soon as we start climbing the next you come to a crawl. and then I have to get all slowed down wait for my chance to pass then blow your doors off. All it takes is to keep them back there for one down hill and I never see them again cause they wont be in my way on the next up hill. then who is the hazard. I say the guy that keeps barely passing at the bottom of the hill down 75mph, not me who is just trying to keep my cruise set at 1300rpm for my best mpg cause it affects my pay directly.:biggrin_2552::biggrin_25523:

    As a matter of fact, there was a low pressure system that brought a cold front to this area for 2 hours last night. It formed a small bubble in the midst of the heat, condensed all the humidity out of the air and caused it to coat everything with a thin sheen of water which then froze and allowed me to ice skate. Then the bubble popped, my glasses fogged up and I started sweating again.

    This anomaly was kept secret from the nation because it is believed to have been caused by a super duper ray gun beam from another solar system which disturbed our air currents. If the general public knew, they might demand one of those super duper ray gun beams for our personal use to control heat waves all over the nation. Since Congress will not admit to ignorance on the subject of super duper ray gun beams, they prefer the public not know of their existence.

    And by doing that you confirm the general impression that Werner drivers are all jerks, and since you now caused the other driver to drop enough gears to have to go up that hill slower than he might of... it inconveniences everyone behind him, slowing traffic flow even more.

    All to satisfy that overgrown ego...

    No comparison at all. I'm just pointing out where an individual driver's actions on the road are total Bovine Excrement. Things would go a lot smoother out here if some of ya all would just act like adults for the first time in your adult life.

    You want an example of why the public has such a low opinion of truckers? The game that Jolsen perpetuated on that hill. No excuse for the Prime driver to have pulled out and passed him. Less than zero excuse for what followed.

    IMO, you're not exactly immune from that criticism either...

    I got a few flies you can sacrifice. They've been driving me crazy for a couple days now, and whenever I open the window to set them free, they refuse to leave.
