This is a simple short post..
HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO BACK OFF THE THROTTLE FOR 30 SECONDS AND LET SOMEONE PASS YOU...
This is Especially a problem from what i have been Victim of with Owner Operators, They can go what ever speed they want i can only do 68 and when i try and pass they either do not let out or they Speed up i get back behind them and they slow down again..
PLEASE LEARN TO SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND JUST LET THEM PASS!!
Its not going to cost you any lost time or miles

Also let's add this. When starting a hill, you know you are heavy, don't grab the hammer lane and try to pass in a low power truck. You will slowdown, get side by side with me, and I am not going to back out of it because you decided to pull a stupid move. Your company pays your fuel, drop a gear and drop back. I pay for my fuel, and will not drop a gear and burn more fuel because you were an idiot. If you don't belong in the hammer on the flats, what makes you think you belong there on a mountain climb.

If what I read what the trucker paper said a few weeks ago. That petition that 6 companys signed to get all trucks to have limiters set to 65mph. Gonna be alot tougher to pass. God help us if that happens.

Truckin Juggalo,
Your 68mph truck will never be able to catch me, but if you ever get an ungoverned truck and start to pass I'll let you by! Just don't pass me and then slam on your brakes to take an exit.

Yep.
I had time to spare and did 64 to my destination. I let several trucks speed along and backed off. Still pissed the pumpkin truck didn't thank me tho. -
90% of the time you’ll still get the finger or the look even for letting them pass.
