you should come up on one of these highly trained truckdriving school graduates at 75 dragging 40 tons and have him pull out in front of you with one blink of his directional after following the otehr truck for 2 or 3 miles.  some of the words i tell them on the cb arent fit to print.

JTs as a trucker i have a question....

personally during rush hour here the biggest problem is rigs that get slowed down by something, and can't accelerate. ther eend up being huge gaps (1/2 mile) in front of the truck, and then a bunch of morans who dont pass, or are stuck behind the trucks.

i know in some cities trucks are not allowed in the left lane, but not here. many times it will be 3 across trucks, all going 30 trying to accelrate, but in the meantime 2 miles of cars are stuck behind them.`

should trucks be limited to the 2 right lanes in places like that?

dont get me wrong, i know that trucks are extreemly vital to shipping in the US, and i don't want to make things harder on the truckers, i am just thinking common sence.

These are all good ideas. I think we should pass a law that there has to be 2 adults in each car while driving; One to steer and one to operate this lane changing mechanism. Kind of driver and co-driver

yes keeping the trucks in the right two lanes inside major city limits is a good idea.  in this industry common courtesy went out the window long ago.

I still try to let truckers into my lane when they signal. A quick double-tap of the high beams work. At night, I flash the headlights by turning them off then back on.

I like it when the trucker flashes the tail lights back. :aok Most do, and some don't. It depends on the driver, I guess.
