I don't think of them as jerks at all. I do think of them as professional drivers that for the most part have a low opinion of RV drivers.

I'm sure any professional driver has several stories about stupid stunts performed by an RVer. Also, they are required to sleep after x number of hours on duty and yet they find parking spots filled by RVers.
I'm not saying we don't have the rights to use the roads and the rest areas but if you think about it, the pros have good reason to disrespect RVers in general.
I flash or give a shout on the CB when appropriate.
