    i find it amusing how many drivers think they actually get there quicker by driving pedal to the metal all day, but the slower more consistent drivers are always parked at the end of the day when these "race track" drivers stagger in at the end of their exhausting trip...

    They are doing the minimum speed limit for the road are they not?

    I think if I am in my car and your truck gets in front of me and causes me to slow down, you should be given a ticket......

    So, now where does it stop?

    Or are you not a professional driver?

    That's why I set my truck at 62 or 63 when I can so I don't always have to be out in the left lane. I make sure there's a lot of room b4 I jump out in the hammer lane then I mash on the motor to do 65 my governed limit.

    Always amazes me how fast you can catch somebody, but once you get in the left lane. It takes all day to pass them. Then once you back in the right lane you look in your mirror and there 3 miles behind you. Things that make you go hmmmmm

    Wow! I am surprised anyone even responded to this clown. One post, and his screen name is "Truckers suck"??? Don't you guys have better things to do?

    For the record I hate when governed toliets ride side by side too, but thats what you get by hiring niwits. As old saying goes "Pay peanuts you going to get monkeys".

    And by the way, those guys are not "Truckers", they are just steering wheel holders wearing sweats and flip flops....

    I don't care if they're doing more than the minimum speed, they are still obstructing the flow of traffic when traffic is flowing 75+ mph.. It's unsafe regardless.
    And as far as me pulling out in front of you, I have a brain in my head that I use so, if someone's coming up at a higher speed I'm not pulling in front of you.

    Matter of opinion. Every truck driver has a schedule to keep.

    Keep complaining and you will see the result in the future.

    Trucks right lane only. Many people want that already.

    it should be right lane only if you can't do the speed limit.. And how much time are you reall gonna make up by passing a truck that going a 1/4 mile and hour slower??

    to many people these days think that they have to follow the herd...just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it safe or right.

    I'm failing to see how driving within the speed limit is unsafe.
