GA… left lane is NEVER ok unless there is only 2 lanes……

Numb and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
And this all circles back around to the guys on here that defend their reasoing why its ok for them to spend 10 mins in the middle lane trying to pass another governed truck because they can run 62.5 vs 62 mph in a 65 mph speed limit or they feel they don't need to be in the right hand lane because of traffic entering or exiting
They are the snails that were referred too in the OP

Michigan defines a truck as a commercial vehicle over 8800 lbs gvw or gvrw. Not made up, it is codified.
this is not just semi trucks, it includes box trucks and service pickups.
it isnt enforced when it should be. For some reason the cdl manual isn’t but should be more explicit on the issue.
The law is simple.
On a three or more lane freeway, all trucks are allowed in the right two lanes only except for exiting left and can enter the left lane with in a mile.
There is an exception for emergency vehicles but not for passing.truckdriver31 and expedite_it Thank this. -

If you are not sure then just stay out of the third lane(or fourth lane in some places).
ncmickey Thanks this.
