    Still in the Pete.

    Well I have a beef to vent out. Why is it many Truckers loves to crowd another when they are getting passed. Meaning the crowd over to the center line where they are touching if not crossing over. I passed one truck, really nice painted up Truck, the Gambler. well passed her twice. Apparently she went through the center of St Louis I went around. First time she had what looked like a towel over the window, and came in my lane by inches twice as I was passing her. She not the only one. Some I had to slam on breaks or hit the wall one.

    The wheel-holdin' lead-foot supertruckers are back in the hammer lane... had one pass me in a construction zone the other night. Narrow lanes, and not dealing with where his trailer was - a good foot into my skinny lil' lane!

    When my lane gets thin in a barrier area, alot of the time I'll pop the 4 ways and drive both lanes until it widens up. No one is paying trailer damage but me, and if someone lights up my radio I can always shut it off.

    Fine by me.

    I'm talking about the jerks who scream up the hammer lane 20 mph over the posted construction zone speed limit in a narrowed lane, and then take a foot of your lane because the wheel holder looser doesn't know how to control the rear of his trailer.
