A 65 mph truck is passing a 64 1/2 mph truck. Right as the faster truck is catching the 64 1/2 mph truck? Steering wheeler flies up on the right like he thinks he’s going to squeeze through. Proceeds to fall in behind 3 feet from the 65 mph DOT bumper. Starts NASCAR weaving and flashing lights. Those lights ain’t making that truck any faster. And the more you do it the more stupid you advertise yourself to be. Running late? Gotta run bawlz out to make decent money? That’s 80,000+ pounds worth of a you problem.
Well that and the fact that your flashy flashy doesn’t work. In fact it could seriously have the exact opposite effect.
I swear back in my younger days? Ya know what? I’m about to have some fun for the next 50 miles. Then BRAKE CHECK and mash that gas
Steering Wheel holders and their magical lights.

Bah. I had that happening all the time. If Mr. NASCAR wants around me, he can tell me by moving into the hammer. I'll slow down so he can pass on my LEFT. I'm not gonna slip around back behind him by moving slower in the hammer myself, though

If you’re the truck in the right lane then you could have not been a douche a long time ago and let off the accelerator for 30 secs to let the slightly faster 65mph truck get in front of you. Just my two cents.

Personally because I’m getting older. I rarely get in much of a hurry these days. Especially on this laidback dedicated run. It’s a case of you get back what you put out. And rarely but occasionally there are some dogs out here that will and have backed up their bark.
