No video, but on Thursday i was a quarter mile from a clover leaf off ramp, i was still doing 55 (ground speed) and some usf Holland guy who had been on my icc for 3 miles, (he had plenty of opportunities to pass) decided to monster it around me, i just laughed... and enjoyed the smell of cooking brakes as he all but smokes em to make thw tight ### turn.... why? Just why? We were getting onto a 4 lane 60 click road... way before or just after no troubles, but he picks the worst time...

About the only video I feel is eorthy to save is dumb stuff, like Swift carrying his laundryDave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
I drove a governed truck, 58MPH on the pedal, 62MPH cruise. I always backed off to let drivers pass me if there were cars or fastrer trucks behind..... Might affect my MPG a bit but it's the the right thing to do.

Funny you mention that st beat. Decades ago when I was a pup learning to truck. A old hand schooled me for a few months. Teamed firsted then run together. OS loads. He said the most important thing in trucking. Patience! You are a top hand in my book.
Lepton1 and street beater Thank this. -
Daddy had a saying, "who had the right of way in any situation", the answer is, "the one that wants it!"
There's a good lesson there!Dharok Thanks this. -
I'm governed at 62 - if some guy going 63 wants to pass me I'll back off a little and let him by. I hate getting drug into snail races.
