    Professional driver, right ? We're the professionals, 4 wheelers aren't. So we give "an inch" sometimes. (to avoid an accident) Much easier to avoid an accident and get down the highway, I say, rather than crunch the other guy, stop and do paperwork, deal with police/insurance/safety guy. That's trucking....ya' gotta' love it !

    It’s easier for them to maneuver around us,than it is for us to maneuver around them.

    That's a very good point, Henry.

    And in my little car I always am worried if I piss someone off they'll force me off the road. Being in an 80,000lb big rig, I don't have that fear. They try to force me off the road I'll crush them like a bug.

    No. It don't work ok. All you'll end up doing is going slower and slower as cars WILL get in your space.

    No one can stand being behind a slower vehicle. So they come around you and right back in front of you.

    It's a no win scenario for us. Ain't nuttn we can do about it.

    I HATE traffic lights on the freeway. By the time you get to the light. 100 cars have jumped in front of you. Common scenario in Cali.

    So maybe it really is better to be a rock in a stream! Trucks sitting in the middle lane driving slow.
