    When I get those idiots who should have waited to pass, I think I'm doing the folks stacked up behind him more of a favor than the guy passing me. Know what I mean!

    My truck is governed at 75mph which isn't bad. However I do get annoyed with the 2 mega fleet trucks having a governor race to see who has the fastest 62mph holding back traffic. I appreciate them about as much as I appreciate the guy taking his 30min break at the fuel island.

    If two trucks are that evenly matched, the Craptastic clown in the left lane, never should have attempted to pass.

    Or the guy that passes you.......just to slow down and take the next exit 1 mile ahead!?

    I admit that I have been guilty of that. Normally I try to be in the right lane within 2 miles of my exit but sometimes the only opening I can find when there's traffic is in front of your truck with less than a mile to spare to my exit. Sorry about that.

    I understand that scenario......Im talking about the guy that passes you on wide open highway. What you described is a different story.

    And then rather than wait for the gap in car traffic, they jump right out in front of them and now the back up ensues while they tortoise by with no consideration at all.
