This, absolutely. There’s a word that perfectly describes drivers who speed up when you try to pass them, but the profanity filter here won’t let me share it.

I have to add this as well... When boneheads don't turn their headlights off while backed in to a dock, or parked across from the docks.RockinChair, tommymonza, rachi and 4 others Thank this. -
When we arrive at a job site to pick up a piece of machinery it's supposed to be ready to go. If the tracks and undercarriage are full of impacted mud and rocks that will fly off going down the road they have to be cleaned. That's agreed on by everybody.
Everybody that hauls construction equipment in this area does it the same way.
90 percent of the people we haul for will at least make an effort at this and it's appreciated.
The other 10 percent do nothing at all and if the driver has to spend any time cleaning we bill the customer for it. The customer then usually screams like a gut shot bobcat.
Too bad. If his operator had the time and opportunity and stood around with his thumb up his butt while our driver did his job for him somebody is going to pay.
We've lost hauling over this but after the customer has pulled the same stunt on everybody else in the area that hauls machinery they come back to us. -

My biggest pet peeve is picking up a pre loaded trailer with noticeable defects, bad tires, lights, missing mud flaps, the works. Things that dont take long to fix. I never drop a trailer at a customer if I know something isn't right. I'll get it fixed, so the next driver dont have to waste time under a load. We all have to learn to help each other. Those are little steps that can help your fellow company driver, then it translates to helping your fellow drivers on the road.
