    conversation at a DOT scale..

    "Hey Chuck, that truck coming in, looks like a full inspection to me"

    "Chuck, nah, just another clown trying to be funny"

    You did the right thing by not flipping them back.People love to turn trk drivers in and chances are they would believe the other person no matter what the reason is a driver flipped a 4wheeler off.I do the same thing smile and sometimes wave.

    I just figure that the person is telling me that they have an IQ of 1. I just let it go and keep on trucking.

    I hit a switch on my dash

    Headlights flip up, nuclear tipped Stinger missiles pop out, and the idiot finger gets vaporized....along with the idiot it was attached to. All those "potholes" you guys have been dealing with? Not potholes, craters. Evidence I've been in your territory dealing with the idiots so you don't have to. Ain't I a nice guy?

    Just a dream, but what a dream!

    Yes, but have you seen the prices on nuclear warheads? Darned Iranians and N Koreans have driven the market into a seller's paradise!

    Yea driving slow in the middle lane will enrage a lot of people especially in states where the law is 'Trucks right two lanes only'.

    Yea so quit riding the middle lane if you're a slow poke and if someone's trying to get around you let them around and get on with your day.
