    I had to check the calendar to make sure that it wasn't April 1st again because it has to be an April Fool's joke!

    Wow...

    "so I drive slow"

    There's your answer. On today's busy, congested roads, there's often a long wait to pass without cutting someone off. If they've already slowed down to your speed, they have still more difficulty passing, especially if they're heavy.

    There's a second answer. Anything else I can do for you?

    Do you troll the interwebs like you troll the highways?

    This statement is completely an assumption because i do believe you are trolling.
    Doing 45mph in a 65 is not exactly the safest thing anyone can do. You get other truckers blowing the big horn because you're being a dangerous unsafe mother trucker.
    When the roads are dry and clear, drive that #### truck.

    When the roads are dangerous due to inclement weather, construction, or anything requiring a slower speed, drive within your abilities.

    If you refuse to drive with your no curtousy and safety of others, get that truck and yourself off the road.

    just use good judgement, ie....maintain min. hwy speed,, make sure your not impeding the flow of traffic, even from entrance/exit ramps. other than that screw them, its your money. stay safe

    If the us blowing so hard you and only you can't go above 45mph while flow of traffic is 60+ then you are the danger, not the wind. Just park it and go home. You are going to cause a crash.
