with trucks passing you and then immediately, and I MEAN immediately coming back across in front of you? This was on I-44 no exits to get to, no rest area coming up and no signs that big trucks can't be in that lane and no construction (at least not there).
Guy comes around me and just about cleans the bugs off my front bumper, no one behind him pushing him, I was on cruise and level ground, so I didn't speed up, what's the hurry with getting back in that granny lane?
See it more and more lately.
What is the deal,

They don't have any depth perception.

It's the Super Trucker way! I love it when they flash the courtesy lights at you as well. There are some really stupid drivers on our roads. Same goes for the idiots that come right up and knock on your rear trailer door before they change lanes. WTF is that all about?
Truckergirl0720, blairandgretchen and truckon Thank this. -
I will admit I find myself running up closer on trucks before I pull out to pass anymore that I probably should, (still not right on your ###, but closer than I like), seems with more and more traffic, and more cars that are determined not to let that #### truck in front of me that the window of opportunity seems to get smaller all the time, it also doesn't help that we are good till 72 and now you have trucks running as slow as 55, but that is on me.
As I said, nobody else around in this situation, no long nosed, big sleeper Pete pushing him, not even a car behind him?Wild Murphy and truckon Thank this. -
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear...

I do that when a driver drives 60 in the middle lane when the speed limit is 70 and there is no one around him
KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this. -
I hear ya, and this last trip it seems I had to pass on the right a lot, (restricted far left lane) but speed limit was 75 and I was doing 72 and he was MAYBE a mph faster than I was.truckon Thanks this. -

I have seen several trailers wiggle when you lay on the horn.

Hauled for 3 weeks on an Interstate. 250 miles total a day. Worse bunch of jackwagons behind the wheel of trucks I've seen in 35 years of driving. Would you tailgate this load. One of our trucks finally got side swipped by 2 Russians in a fed x truck on the last day of the haul.
truckon and KANSAS TRANSIT Thank this.
