    Courtesy goes both ways dont run up on another truck especially when we're already in the right lane theres no reason to run up on someone that you obviously see is slower......if u wanted in front of me, Leave earlier instead of sleeping in....

    Your an idiot, your a maniac. Mostly it’s a combination of stupidity and lack of attention.

    I will say not to pee off anyone but some of you also go way too fast then blame the slower governed company trucks as being in the way, we have just as much right to run and pass slower traffic as you do.......too many billy big riggers on the road is actually the problem....just my two cents...

    I will always run the middle lane through cities at the speed limit. I dont care how pissy other drivers get about it.

    Honestly, I'll also run the middle if I am at, or 1 MPH below the speed limit in towns. UNLESS there is a truck restriction for the left lane.

    I was running 60 MPH yesterday and today. Seems to be the sweet spot in my current truck for MPGs. There were times I was still passing other trucks. There were also times when I went to pass said trucks. That they sped up to match and not let me pass. Then slowed back down when I got back over.

    I also see way too many trucks flying up in the hammer lane and tailgating whoever is in front of them. There is for sure no need for that. Plus it is dangerous as heck. I'm just waiting for one of these 4wheelers to brake check one of those idiots and cause them a world of hurt for their stupidity. No load has to be there that fast to be an a-hole.

    I agree with you about the #######es running up and tailgating. They’re flirting with a long extended stay in prison when they end up hitting someone doing that.
