    So why start crap like this?
    We need to get it second hand from a US Express driver? It's getting real sad out there.

    What does his working for us xpress have to do with it?

    And what is he starting? He did another driver a favor by posting his video.

    I have a theory about what happened. Hull was gaining on the tanker but didn't pass until the last minute and at the same time as the tanker changed lanes. But instead just letting it go hull decided to go psycho.

    If I had to place a theory on the "why" that's my vote. The old "Wack-A-Mole" Johnny-Jump-Up coming from right behind your ### at the last second to make a pass, then getting pissed off because you also changed lanes.

    With the New Generation of steering wheel holders, I have had this happen to me several times, BUT I was already on the passing lane way back and had a steering wheel holder just jump out in front of me in the passing lane where I litterlly had to slam on the brakes. But as a professional driver that I am, I SUCK IT UP.........NOT !!!!, I make sure he/she knows the "F" up. But in a civil manner.

    I think that the hull driver needs a lesson, being fired is the right thing to do.

    What happened before doesn't matter, what happened on tape does.

    apparently road rage is prevalent in slow truck drivers in addition to the four wheelers. i keep waiting to read where a road raged four wheeler placed some shots into one of those drag racing slow trucks when they finally are able to pass them.

    it is going to happen.

    why not let faster traffic pass and keep the slow trucks out of the left lane? no i won't get on my soap box--

    used to be once or maybe twice daily.now it is often. i just don't get it. why wait until i am right there to jump over in front of me when you have seen me bringing it on in your mirror? oh wait. that type driver doesn't use his mirror,or at least it appears that way.

    oh well. not the thread for my vents.

    while in actuality,what they are driving do not qualify as trucks so they drive idiotic and play lane monitors. the video verifies the mentality of the new breed imo but then who knows?
