    yep that is what we'd all like to do to the princess passers who don't have the power to pass. They remind me of those little bitty dogs who think they are big rottweillers lol.

    The guy was out there almost 45 seconds not making headway against the pass. The guy who hit him figured, poor little governed truck boi can't catch me anyway lol. Rubbin' is Racin'

    That step deck taught him a lesson right there.
    Later the step deck learned what a disqualifying offense was.

    That's why everyone needs a dash cam, he swung the the trailer at him to wreck him, he should never be allowed to drive anything again

    I think you pulled out a bit too soon to pass the other truck. Therefore you were hogging the left lane and others couldn't pass you. Next time plan your pass better. And yes the drop deck probably should have shook his fist at ya not his trailer.

    That not the way i c it,he changed lanes to let the stepdeck get in from the entrance ramp he wasnt trying to pass..the stepdeck driver should've let him get off the hammer lane than attempt to pass.happens to me all the time but luckily my truck is not governed.
    The problem here lot of drivers dont know or ignore driving etiquettes.

    1) GTF out of the left lane if you don't have enough pedal to pass.

    2) When you got hit, if you don't have the pedal to pursue, pull over & dial 911.

    3) If you DO have the pedal to pursue, turnabout is fair play, and I don't believe in "getting even". I would've pulled up slightly ahead and put him in the ditch as I moved onto the shoulder...none of that "bump & run" BS.

    I don't think he had moved over to let anyone on. From the guy who posted the video on YouTube...

    "For the record I was about to pass another truck."
