    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy and dirty and mean


    It's how I live my life
    I can't
    Take it
    Any other way

    The term 'lane' comes from the days of regulation, where 'freight lanes' and 'authorities' were granted by the government.

    I drive on the right lane like any professional truck driver should and use the left lane for passing and return to the right lane once I pass.

    Man... One year we just at the last minute decided to go to MATS in Louisville. We drove all night long in the Jeep and all throughout West Virginia there was a radio station that played Metallic all night long, no commercials.

    Absolutely correct.

    Nothing worse than getting behind a produce hauler talking on the radio about how they have the hammer down when they are in your way.

    I run in the lane with the least amount of panty trucking company trucks in it. They run too slow and are always in the way. As if pertaining to lanes of freight, i run all 48. Mostly Midwest, west coast, and some East and southeast.

    Yup. Freight lane is the correct answer IMHO.

    I run any lane that pays really well. Just say no to cheap ### freight.
