But my trainer said.......

Yeah, that's pretty dumb. Just beggin' for some numbskull to sneak up on the right and hang out in the blindspot.

 

He must not worry about missing exits......

 

Makes sense in a car, not a big truck. Most states have laws that you have to yield to faster traffic anyway, so if your going to be doing about 65 you'll constantly be moving over to let someone speed past you.

 

Typical Smith System

You've been-----\/\/\/\-----Thunderstruck!!!

 

Well it is. Right lane is too much of a hassle having to watch for merging traffic and adjusting your speed because people aren't paying attention.

 

I remember trainer said, "no dont use the brake pedal when your going down a hill just use the jonson bar like this look"

 

ok im an idiot wats a johnson bar

 

I always wondered why you guys never get out of the left lane. They must tell can haulers in LA the same thing too. Even at 2am everyone is in the left lane going through the city, makes it nice and open for me. I've made it whole nights in the right lane never even having to slow down for a single merging vehicle. During the day time I don't fault anyone for doing it though.

I think the dumbest thing my trainer ever told me, actually that he asked me, was how many tons does the truck weigh? He asked me as we approached a sign regarding weigh limit listed in tons. He was actually a good trainer overall, but I had to laugh at that one.
