I still flash them over but I noticed a change in the way drivers are today. When I started driving back in the early 90's it seemed like everyone was willing to take the time to flash you over and everyone thanked everyone.
Now days you will be lucky to get 2 out of ten drivers to thank you. Or before you have a chance to even flash them they have moved on over and 2 feet from your tractor.
Dunno I still flash and when I don't get thanked I just say oh well must be one of the new generation drivers.
No more flashing!

I'll flash you whether you like it not. If your a lazy selfcentred piece of meat wheel holder that chooses not to say thankyou, you've got the social problem, not me. If you decide not to call me back, that's fine as well, but don't get bent out of shape because I flashed a thankyou at you, for all I know you may have, I've only got two eyes, and sometimes they move in tandem.
Geez, grow up people!! Watch out!!!!! I might look at you!!!!!!!And if you get too close, I might breathe on your arm!!! Mom,Mom, he's breathing on me again!!!Wwwhhhhaaaaa!formertaxidriver, trucker_101, AfterShock and 1 other person Thank this. -

Driving a Pumpkin, I get passed a lot, if your flying by me I don't flash but if for some reason its taking you a while to pass I will flash.
-
what i notice a lot is people dont even see when i flash them over. they just stay there forever before they even look in the mirror. thats the explanation i have found way more often than anyone just being rude.
i dont flash everyone, if someones flying by me and theres no traffic behind us i trust them to be able to handle it.
if its a slow passer, traffic behind them, or in bad weather just to say go ahead and come over and dont worry about spraying me, always. -
johnday Thanks this.

Many times I've been flashed to come back, however, I hate leaving too little of space, so I flash my running lights as a thank you, and keep going until I feel safe to come back.
The written invite would have taken too long to wait for.formertaxidriver, johnday, Tenspeed70 and 2 others Thank this. -
It could be some of those guys waiting for the invite, aren't looking in their mirrors. I know we've all seen it.
trucker_101 Thanks this. -
For me, it's become a habit, and one I am loathe to break.
