    I gross OVER 100K per yr and never exceed 65mph save for the occasional downhill overspeed.
    But I also have full benefits, med/dental et all, including PPE, outerwear, pension plan, 401k with match, 4 wks paid vacation, and home every night.
    But my boss only speaks one language so you got that going for you.

    If I catch another vehicle I pass.
    I will on occasion wait for a better opportunity so as not to impede the flow but being professional out here means being able to adjust and adapt.
    Bottom line is if I am using the lane to pass and you come up behind that's on you, there is only room for one and when I complete it I move back over.
     
    Dan.S, Tb0n3 and Crude Truckin' Thank this.

    And is there any Man will explain WHY to stay with a slow moving trucks/company. I'm not flying all day long most often stay below speed limit on a right side. But why those slow moving keep blocking left side?

    With all due respect, can you not understand the less expenses you have the more you CAN get paid? Not caring on fuel mileage is not caring care of he rig as your own.
    Pretty sure if you approached your owner with some basic math he would agree to give you something of what you save him. But if all you are is a steering wheel holder then hold on and keep the petal down.
     
    Dan.S and Ougigoug Thank this.
