what bad trucking habits have you acquired

Riding the middle lane on a No Trucks left lane Hiway.

 

I haven't driven a truck enough to develop specific bad habits. But I have learned that maintaining 3 point contact isn't just for tower climbers:

 

Just figured out I have another bad habit. Getting involved in business discussions with other owner operators. God we got a lot of idiots out here.

 

Do all that you can. Do the easy ones twice.

 

I prefer as much as I can get away with!

 

That was a douchey thing to say. What was the point of that? Not ripping you, I'm just curious why you feel that needed to be said. No judging, just curious

 

You and every other slow governed truck in America.

 

Leaving it in overdrive, aka, "the trouble gear".

 

1. Resting my wrist on the shifter (I have had 2 Carpal Tunnel surgeries on the right hand)
2. Exiting the hwy , throw on the engine brake leave it in the highest gear as long as possible then neutral then float to a lower gear.basically just being lazy and not using clutch or downshift.(sorry terrible explanation)
3. I use to jump out of my cabover when i was younger. Now i Always use 3 point and go slow.
