    I think it might be an attitude problem....



    Its life out here on the road. If I got a penny for every big truck that cant stay in their lane, or cut someone off I would be a wealthy man.

    I agree that it is life on the road do not get me wrong. But almost running someone off the road isn't worth the jail time or losing your license either.

    Don't be a victim. You really don't need one of these idiots to drag the tail of the trailer across your hood....all you have to do is stop being a race car driver and slow down for a couple of seconds.

    9.5 mpg on the past 1369 miles 143.7 thats what $30k a year in fuel savings looks like.
    And I'd also like to vent that the fuel prices keep going down. I hope it comes back $4.50/gal again soon I do a little better when the fuels more but I know it really puts the sting on guys like this so that makes happy..:D

    Keep drinking that Prime Kool Aid buddy. I know all about the drive slower to save fuel and increase your rate game they have y'all buying. I've got friends who train at Prime. But guess what? YOU ARE IN THE WAY. You driving slow trying to penny pinch causes unsafe driving conditions for everyone around you. I OWN my truck. I run 70mph and get 7.5 mpg. It's a Peterbilt 379 w/a Cat C 15 tweaked by Diesel Freaks. I also run more loads than you because of it...not to mention, I've got my own authority...so that $30,000 you talk about saving in a year I make in less than 2 months. That makes me happy.
