Hi. Just started with a company. Their trucks are set at 65. Was wondering why some big trucks fly up on you and pass. Then ride next to as if they can't pass. Why??
They slow down

They're looking to see who is driving the rolling roadblock.LoneRanger, Art Vandelay and Bakerman Thank this.

A small tap on the brakes takes care of it. If they hop in front and cause a block, then the lawman will take care of them.
There is no telling how many drivers rage at the company governed speed. Sometimes in a much faster truck which is a problem.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Did they come flying down a hill with alot of gravity assist then the road leveled out so they slowed down??? Or were you loaded heavy and climbing a hill when they tried to pass you, then you gained your speed back at the top of the hill, to match thier speed???
Or are they makimg jestures at you trying to tell you some thing is wrong with your truck, trailer, brakes, tires, tail-lights, ect, ect...???x1Heavy, D.Tibbitt, LoneRanger and 5 others Thank this. -
LOL. Really? Speed limit is 65 where I run daily.
They have a clear pass. Why would they be hanging out on my left for a couple of minutes? -
I'm governed at 67 mph... I get passed by these faster trucks all the time... Then a few hours later the SAME EXACT TRUCKS are passing me AGAIN... Sometimes the SAME TRUCKS will pass me a 3rd time later the same day.
Last summer I had my doors blown off 7 times (always doing 5 to 15 mph faster than me) in 2.5 days by the same exact truck, a very nice KW with a one of a kind custom paint job... Turns out he was delivering to the same place I was... I beat him there by 25 mins.... Lol -
good advice
was just wondering
some have a jeolous look on their face
was just wondering if they think its cute to try and slow some down, as if it matters since im hourly -

I avoid looking at them but may glance next time to see thx -
Lots of reasons. Mayby they like the way you look and want to be your friend?D.Tibbitt, Omega1, FlaSwampRat and 1 other person Thank this.

That driver that passed you 7 times. Were they sitting real low in the seat, with a gear shift up by the ceiling?
