    Personally, if your end up in a meat wagon due to your negligence...I have zero sympathy for you. 85 in a loaded truck is negligent. Plus I'm not aware of any max posted limits of 85. I know 80 in Texas. Majority of big rig wrecks are directly related to speed. Blame cars all you want, but a car can stop safely in a short distance traveling 85. What's the average stopping distance of a semi at 40 tons doing 60, probably roughly 400 feet after you include human reaction time plus the half second for air brakes to apply. Honestly have no idea what that distance would be at 85mph

    Well my "arrogant ###" doesn't have a GPS or a Qualcomm and my phone stays on the passenger seat. Your ### is in everybodys, way plugging up all the traffic, you've just said you're going 15 to probably 20 below your average four wheeler there, how many accidents have you caused by now?

    Obviously you have people thinking going 15 mph an hour slower than all the other traffic in the area is safer, #### drivers ed dropouts, did you even have a drivers license before getting that wild hair up your ### to go be a truck driver?

    No you look it up on Google maps and then remember where the hell you're going. Could you do me one favor, spell trucker right, I don't know how that irritates me seeing as I hated every minute of every day in school, but apparently it does.

    I wish the people who drive 10-15mph under the limit would bother themselves to look in the mirror at the traffic jam behind their slow ### and see the problems they cause by forcing two lanes of traffic into one just to get around them.

    Man, you must have a photographic memory. I wish I had that. Maybe one day I can be a cool twucker like you. How long have you been a super twucker?

    Well why don't they just go around me to the lane on the left? Isn't that what it's for? Or maybe just maybe they should have left earlier. I personally do not care if people are getting irritated at me. There's a passing lane use it. You don't dictate my deeming of a safe speed....I do.
