If a trucker is passing me at a slow rate and holding up a mile of traffic I slow down so they can get past me and in front. Why don't they do that for each other?
I ask myself the same question when 2 or 3 trucks are running side by side up the road blocking all lanes of traffic so one can go one MPH faster then the other.
I used to give truckers all the courtesy on the road I could but anymore they are just as bad as anyone else on the road. I have no problem leaving them hanging on a steep grade or fighting to merge as they show very little courtesy they once showed. Funny how truckers talk all big about being the life blood of the nation and if trucks stop the goods stop, ya well they forget that if they stop there pay checks stop and if a more economical way to move goods comes along then truckers will be a thing of the past. But I guess you have to have something to think about all day while setting in the seat driving down the road.
