Feel free to add your own of course.
As soon as you change lanes to pass a slow ### they will speed up.
Once you're within 2 miles of your exit ramp, there will be a truck driving 10 mph less than you.

The car behind you, taking the next exit, will pass you before doing so.
The car in the acceleration lane, travelling as fast or faster than you, will brake at the end of the merge area, regardless of the distance ahead of you it may be.bottomdumpin, walstib, Slowpoke KW and 2 others Thank this. -
There won't be a car for ages, anywhere around, but once you slow down to look for an address so you don't pass it there will be a car right on your bumper.

If your truck is governed st 62 (like mine), you will end up behind a truck going 61.
If you wash your truck, it will rain or snow later that day or the next day.
If you deliver to a receiver with only one dock door, as soon as you check in, an ltl truck will materialize and back into the dock ahead of you.
Where there's one ltl truck, two or three more will be right behind him.
No matter where you park in a customer's yard, you will always be in someone's way.
If you park in front of one trailer in a yard with hundreds of them, that's the trailer the yard driver will need.
If you go number two before eating anything at Denny's, you will be going number two again right after.
the nicer the name of the truck stop, the dirtier it will be.peterd, 426yankee, Bob Dobalina and 4 others Thank this. -
Absolutely positively must be there for over an hour before the 1 person shows up who can unload the drop.
Another; business is on a dead end that isn't in the GPS. Telephone is answered by a service that will forward your message,asking for directions, and the business will.not ever return your call.
That's what experience is for.White_Knuckle_Newbie, walstib and thejackal Thank this. -
