Do you really need to pass?

i just remembered why I stay to myself

 

That's geography too......

 

Yeah geography but even before the hill. He sees he's obviously going to get passed....the truck is already coming around before the hill....so he whips out the camera and records. But hey we all do things how we want so its all good.

 

IMHO the only rude person in the video was the guy getting worked up for the video. Do you realize that if you had slowed to allow him to complete the pass in the first place you wouldn't have had to slow as much after he passed? By the end of the video you have the same end result, but you ended up getting all worked up for nothing at all.

Try this next time (with or without the video camera going) just as an experiment. As soon as a slow pass begins, slow about 2-3 mph to allow the pass to happen. You might be surprised that after completing the pass they will have plenty of room ahead to get back over.

By the end of the video you are ranting about the Kennesaw driver's rudeness as he's disappearing in the distance. Do you not see the irony here?

 

WHAT!? You mean two drivers, from two different companies, actually communicated and were able to safely accomplish a common goal? Who'd a thunk it??

When folks actually use their radios and act like human beings, it can be a beautiful thing. Nobody gets all worked up, stress level stays in check, and everyone gets to go home to mama one more time.

I don't know where we lost that kind of work ethic (it used to abound in this industry), but it rarely exists nowadays. It's all "me me me."

And, yes, I NEVER pass an oversize load without requesting permission for a fly-by first. No, it's not the law. It's just common sense.

 

It's all about the views not the substance.

 

True that.

Lots of folks watched Honey Boo Boo. But did she earn respect?

 

Bottom line the guy took a long time to pass me; he was frustrated being behind me obviously too slow for him. Once he finally got past he decided to play the slow down game- slower than he was going when he was behind me forcing me to slow down to prevent the following too close trick. So I jump out to pass, he speeds up and takes off in warp 9.

True I was ranting but understand it is all an act, I really don't care what Kennesaw did here, I deal with crap all day every day.

 

Any of it self imposed I wonder?

 

I was about to go that route lol
