    If the company you are delivering to has you doing this, then simply tell the others do talk with the company as it’s them telling you to do this, either they’ll get it or not, some are just small minded, not worth you arguing with them! Thankfully I’ve got off the road back in 2015, I drive for myself now, and at times where I get loaded, depending on who I’m hauling for the instruct me to pass other driver, they tell me this through the CB, and the other drivers hear this, and most times never give me any grief, but from time to time, someone gets a little upset, and asked plant “why are you giving some driver special treatment” and they are informed it’s not the driver getting the special treatment, but the company they are hauling for

    Seems that oneday, someone who cuts into line, is going to find they are pulled out of their truck, and hurt. Then it will not be something laughable.
    Just not worth doing it, unless staff are out there explaining why to the others.
    Unless they have a death wish, in which case, go for it.

    Wouldn't catch me doing something so ridiculous.

    Although I would give serious consideration to being one of those who pulls the clown from their truck.

    A very good friend of mine is an Owner Op, I was talking to him just this evening about this thread. He told me an interesting story that took place at a refinery. Somebody decided to play God, and cut ahead of the line. Shortly there after he was told to move to the back of the line, and he said no. While 2 beat the snot out of him, 2 more pulled out their pocket knives, and cut every exposed airline on his truck, and stabbed every air bag.
    It just doesn't pay.
    Honestly, I would fully expect a #### good beating for cutting in.
