So are you one of those truckers who drive 60mph right beside another truck going the same speed and blocking the interstate?
Or a double trailer driver texting and swinging both trailers across 2 lanes?
Is that you?

I’d rather they built a bypass around Atlanta for those of us passing through who don’t stop to keep us moving and away from the commuter traffic.

Build it with NO exit or entrance ramps for 30 or more miles north of south of the city. Just let me drive through there without that hell traffic for 2 hours. Please

I’ve never had truck that couldn’t max out at less than 70mph. The truck I drive now is set at 75. A Cat C15, 6NZ version (probably the best combination of power, fuel economy, and reliability that Cat ever made, and is turning close to 600hp as set.)

When I see that I actually get on the cb and chew out the granny lane trucker, that won’t kill the cruise long enough to let a truck in the hammer lane get around him. There are many trucking companies that have their trucks set at 65. The driver whose truck can do one mph more than another can’t help it if the block head in the granny lane won’t slow up a couple mph to let the other by.

Ha! No, I don’t pull doubles. And if I am in traffic, texting doesn’t happen. If I am in light traffic, a short text might go out. It may take miles to type it using my thumb, and my eyes on the road.

It’s multitasking, while driving all sorts of vehicles, that effectively kill.
