Think about what I actually said, not what you assume that I said. Remember, words have meaning.

POLL: Do you think truck drivers know what they are doing when they side by side block traffic for miles at a time going the same speed?

Love to see cops give tickets to them for this

I love seeing cops given tickets to eradicate car drivers too.

Capital punishment seems excessive in this case, even if the cops have been given tickets that authorize it!

Were you speeding?

Of course, and if your response is “wELL THATS YoUr pRobLem tHeN”, then it will

Speeders tend to get very upset if anything hinders their law breaking.

charles

Lol. Oh wow. This is probably one of the guys

gurt

Nah, he's one of the guys that camps in the left lane to prevent speeding.

The problem there is the road itself. I couldn’t manage trying to drive one of

No, I've never seen truckers do this.

charles

I agree, have I seen a truck pass another truck somewhat slowly.

I would love to join the planet you live on

gurt

Like how long are you talking about? 2 trucks side by side so no one can pass.

You must be blind or don't drive on two lane roads. This happens a crap ton on the way to Boise.

Give 'em a break. They're headed to the BSU truck driver school to get educated.

Give them a break. They are some of the few on the road who are working.

Let them obey the traffic laws like everyone else. 😉

Driving down to St George yesterday and a semi got caught in the left lane

I have much less patience for right-lane passers than truckers. Truckers seem

Tricky

I for sure have, but I think it’s accidental. I’ve seen a truck pull out to pass coming to a slight incline and then

I absolutely will resort to using the Utah Fast Lane (aka right lane) when idiot

Truckers are the most aware drivers on the road. They plan way in advance.

I drove a truck with a flatbed trailer a few times after my mission

Tricky

FYI, You hit them with the emergency flashers after you pass to say “thank you”. I’ve had them do this just when I was

mvtoro

I've never used the flashers for this, just tapped the brakes. But makes sense

Tricky

This was true back in the day (I had my chauffeur's license - prior to CDL) and

Part of the problem is that a lot of truck engines have governors now so they

More likely they try to pass, grade changes, and just can't quite get it done.

This is true. I hacked you in a post above.

Who is the long haul trucker on CB? He could probably offer insight.

I think I found him—rtNelson. What say he rt?

I’m a long haul trucker.

The painful part is when the momentum ends with out passing the other semi

Yep. It sucks. Happened to me outside of Laramie on the 80.

Mathew

4/19/21 9:41am

Does this happen very often? In my experience, truckers usually pull right when

Tricky

4/18/21 10:48pm

They'll last for miles and miles. Sometimes 10-15 miles.

Division Bell

4/19/21 4:52am

They know they are holding up traffic but it's not malicious. The worst is when they go to pass
