Passing someone in a closely governed truck is the ultimate showdown. After five miles, who will back out of it first? Is the traffic behind the left lane truck calling his company? Will the 5k pound lighter difference on the hill be enough to help him pass? Will the extra 5k pounds help the slower truck on the descent? Will they eventually come up to an on ramp that forces the right lane truck to slow down begrudgingly?
Any time you see two trucks drag racing side by side for miles, I hope you realize it’s two drivers exemplifying courtesy and professionalism.Joetro, RustyChops41, spyder7723 and 5 others Thank this. -

Love it when the ####### is on the phone and his speed keeps changing.
You pass the #######,then a minute later he goes flying by you again.
I constantly try to keep traffic around me flowing smoothly.
I'll slow down and help a guy get around me.
Most drivers I see just care about themselves.MachoCyclone, Sirscrapntruckalot, classic_150 and 9 others Thank this. -
I have no problem letting off throttle to allow you to pass. My strategy is since I only run two lane highway you will be in charge of corralling oncoming traffic into their own ####ing lane, getting them to dim ####ing lights and spotting ####ing moose
Brickwall, Dan.S, QuietStorm and 5 others Thank this. -
Why should I have to back it down? If you can't pass me then why in the hell did you try. Most of the time I'll back it down and let them go, Don't want to be caught in a pack
I cruise the right lane at 64 ish, But have 3mph left on my pedal, If I catch someone I'll pass them like I mean it..Crusader66, classic_150, AZ Pete and 1 other person Thank this. -
I see that crap all day long and drives me nuts. There isn’t much more annoying than the guy that floors it as soon as you appear in his left mirror.RustyChops41, Brickwall, spyder7723 and 10 others Thank this. -
