That space in front of a truck is not for you to grab, especially if passing 1 mph. Oh, you can grab it, but you slow down about 8 trucks who will now ride your can and not too happy they slowed down to 50mph.
Not everyone has the same equipment, the same load, or even knows if you checked your brakes today coming down that hill at 75mph, or if you know what psi every tire is.
Share the road safely please.
Tailgaters slow down all

Good luck, that's one of the reasons I came off OTR. To many "brain"dead idiots out there. We still have a couple morons locally, but for the most part its ok.
GetRid70hr8dayRules Thanks this. -
Guy.......... You've thrown down on a bunch of posts in a mere two days of membership, these are old, beaten, topics.... use the search option and see what's already here.... you might be a troubadour, but new ground isn't being broken. Don Quixote attacked windmills he thought were monsters in an effort to save his community... fool ended up riding face-towards his horses ###.... So just slow down.

I presume the OP is trying to express legit concerns he has with / has experienced within the industry. But gum-flapping always inhibits auditory ability.
Time will tell.

God I am glad I came off the road. Selfishness, stupidity, arrogance, and entitlement. "I'm here and I can go 1mph faster, so slow the hell down so I can pass you"
Yeah, you guys can have that crap... -
I can drive faster than you, therefore I'm el jefe for this entire road segment and you'll just do whatever it is you have to do to accommodate me
Did I say that out loud?Last edited: Jul 11, 2017
