Road Rage or Self-proclaimed highway vigilante..

He says lesson learned and you choose not to believe him just so you can say your piece.

God I love all the perfect truckers we have here on TTR who have never made mistakes or can't possibly believe drivers actually learn from them.

 

I hear where you are coming from. I too remember those days. This is where dispatch comes in, if late get a new appt. If told to break laws, say no. Get fired? Bring documentation to the unemployment office including names of who told you to break your laws.

Ive been fired so many times for standing tall on the laws and also on the other side of it as well. It does not matter except in situations where you can sink a knife into the employer who fired you for wrong reasons for which you can nail him to the door.

 

How many jobs have you had? I stand my ground and have never been fired.

 

About 40 plus related to big trucks. Half or more are fly by night laws be ###### ... and drivers who try to follow them are eliminated as liabilities and misfits.

Im still here, those companies are not.

 

I'm out!!!

 

We can't even maintain speed in our designated lanes now. Could you imagine prime(slow company to make a point) 3 deep holding up traffic. All cars and trucks.

No thank you.

Might have been me - and I stole it from LS.

I think it's been pretty well hashed out here - my thought was the 'brake checker' was possibly a trucker - past or present - in the 4 wheeler. Most other road users these days are blissfully distracted by devices and don't get involved in these games.

I won't preach - I've been THAT guy before to some degree. I think the OP has probably figured the best course of action for next time - just go with the flow. The less lane changes the better. I'd advise against following another truck at any distance in traffic, as I like to see WAY down the road for stopped/slowing traffic.

 

May have been you. I dont remember anymore. I think it is right on though. I agree with what you said. Oh I've had my moments too. I wont judge either.

I should have clarified that I was referring to the guy that brake checked sni to teach him a lesson.

 

It isn't just commercial drivers, it's everyone.

Driving my pickup truck through town, and everyone is in a hurry to get to the red light before me. I see the light turn red an 8th of a mile ahead of me, so I go ahead and coast to the light, saving on brakes and gas, and everyone feels the need to hit the gas and go around me just so they can stop before me. I just look at them like they're nuts, which they are. It's people like these that one day we'll have self-driving vehicles, like that movie Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock.
