    I don't know how you guys and ladies do it! I just got back from a long trip and the drive sucked. Knowing you do it day after day....traffic, 4 wheelers...I saw so many cutting of trucks, not letting them merge, etc. etc. Gotta be awful. I always let you guys in front of me or even wave if you let me in and use my signal.

    Seriously...I think if people only really understood. My cousin drives, and sometimes he's wore out!

    Yup. Just something you get used to...

    Although granted, some areas are easier to deal with than others.

    As many people are cutting off my bumper or rushing by in an ending lane, it's the few times people do voluntarily let me over or give me room that balences it out.

    Thank you for noticing the dangerous & disrespectful driving that goes on around us.

    Keep in mind though that there are equal amounts of dirt bag dangerous truck drivers also so air on the side of caution when around any truck.

    Cheers

    It is called being a "professional" driver.

    Yes. And I appreciate you're noticing. But the really troubling thing is this bad behavior is noticeably worse with each passing year.
