I pay attention to truckers and what they are doing. I have never had that to happen to me because I look out for them and change lanes to get out of their way. They are on a time table and it will not bother me to be a few minutes late. That is a whole lot better than causing them to be behind some driver 45 mph on an interstate. My biggest peeve is drivers who are in a great hurry to get in my lane and then slow down to a crawl. I have had near misses with those nuts.

There not perfect so there are some pretty bad drivers both truck and car. Doesn’t matter what time table there on, they have no business endangering people lives by riding right up on your bumper.

Ditto that. Give them a wide berth.

When I was learning to drive back in the early 60s in hilly Western Pennsylvania, I was taught to avoid forcing a big rig to hit the breaks or downshift by cutting in front of him even if you technically had the 'right of way'.

If he was coming up hill, let him pass rather than turning left in front of him forcing him to shift back to low gear to make the grade.

I know their equipment is much better today, but I still give them the most room possible, yet I see the majority of '4 wheelers don't. Probably why some of the truckers show no respect for the '4 wheelers.'
