you made him spill his coffee.

You probably didn't do anything wrong. Keep in mind, there's many truck drivers with serious mental health problems. An example is the one that was posted about yesterday; he cut in line at the fuel pumps, then when another driver confronted him about it, he shot the driver, then killed himself.

Here is what happened.
You moved over a lane and allowed the other truck unimpeded entry to the interstate.
In his mind, you are in a fast truck, thats why you moved over.
When he got along side and started to pace on your truck. After a minute as he was getting ready to set the cruise control and noticed the speed your truck was traveling at.
That speed was less than he thought or wanted to go.
And in order to save his dignity, he put the shizzle on you.
It was your fault he was going so slow, so he had to make sure you are fully aware of the problem. In order to do that, he must make sure he has your attention. -
You read my mind.Shock Therapy, Lepton1 and Chinatown Thank this.

This is very true. A lot of OTR drivers have mental health issues.
I would say the flatbed driver is the most affected.Rowsdower, misterG, Snailexpress and 2 others Thank this. -
Ya what ^ he said. You looked like some dude just lollygagging around in a passing lane next to him. Since he’s mentally unstable you were the last straw that day and he had a seizure.
Snailexpress, fargonaz and Trucker61016 Thank this. -
Sounds like someone pissed on his steak and he took it out on you . I also can't get why do other drivers have to pass me while climbing a mountain, so close to the zipper . Sorry im not driving on the shoulder and getting crap on the tires. Be courteous and give a slower truck some space please. Ok that's my rant today.
