    I agree Hardly. WHY in the WORLD do the 62er's get in the left side-by-side with ya, and EXPECT YOU to slow down and letem over, if you do that NOW your tailgating them....duh.

    If it's 55 degrees outside, you dont need to idle. Turn the #### thing off! If you must idle unessacarily, then dont park next to someone who has his truck turned off and all the windows open. And dont complain when your company WONT LET you idle when you NEED TO STAY WARM OR COOL!

    I think you meant to use the word "behavior" instead of "ethics." trucking companies are the ones who need to work on ethics.
     
    FriedTater Thanks this.

    Yeah, it kills me when I see a truck with the windshield all frosted over.

    "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". Not so in trucking. Newbies just because you see another driver cut another off, DOESNT mean "Fine, if this is trucking, I'll do it too".....paleeeease.

    If you hear a driver BLAST out your CB cause hes cranked WELL over 5watts, dont rush to CB Repair and ask for the same thing. Its annoying and certainly doesnt impress "umwauh". The echo, squeak, and that STUPID "beep" after hes done keying "beep" will drive "beep" you outta "beep" your "beep" tree.

    Playing music over the CB is well, opinions vary can be relaxing with your feet proped up in a rest area. Beats "I aint got no panties on".

    When a driver is holding the 4 wheelers back in the left lane of a backup,wreck,construction bottleneck, hes ONLY trying to help to keep the traffic flowing.

    YES, I know MANY states it is illegal, but a very small thanks to him just MIGHT get ya to deliver on time especially when the MORONIC 4 wheelers are shooting up the left, running down the right rumble strip just to make matters worse...dont forget...let him back in.
