    So 11 miles farther up the road, 11 miles closer to home. Just kinda wondering out loud but is there truck parking every 11 miles or something? I can't see being able to take advantage of 11 miles but hey whatever blows his skirt up makes him sleep at night night.

    I'm old school, mine will run pretty fast, if I'm coming up behind someone running say 65, and he wants to pass one running 62 or so, I'll let him pass, then go around!

    Here we are in California, 55 speed limit. I'm going exactly 55, not sure why this guy felt that was too slow but oh well. He tries to pass but gets bogged down in the uphill. He was mad at me for not slowing down. But if I had slown down, I would be sucking dock dust behind this guy going his snail speed up the hill because he's heavier than me. He would have been better off just maintaining 55 and proper following distance behind me which is what happened anyway SMMFH
