Keep in mind that there's plenty of things 4 wheelers do that upset us. And I do believe KS can confirm most of what I say.
I'm not going to say all truckers are angels. Just like any company around the world, you have your good and bad.
1. Cars fly by like a bat out of hell, move in front of me, and slow down for no apparent reason. Why?
2. Four wheelers ride my ass like they are drafting in Nascar to save fuel. Sorry to break it to you, but your not saving fuel. Also, you're putting yourself at risk if my trailer tire blows out, or something falls from the trailer.
3. Speaking of having to wait while a truck is passing another vehicle, why can't cars wait those few extra seconds behind me to take an exit, instead of flying past me, then cutting right in front of me to jump off the exit?
4. When a car is upset with a trucker, why do they get in front and brake check the truck? Do they realize we can't stop that damn quick?
There's more, but I don't want to make this a tl/dr story.
Come on, it's all common sense here. I'm out here trying to stay safe, and in the process, I'm trying to keep you safe so you can get home to your family, or wherever it is you're going.
On a final note, if you hate trucks that much, there is a solution to getting us off the road...
"Stop buying gas. Stop going to Walmart for food and clothing. Stop going to Lowes or Home Depot. Hell, stop ordering online. Don't buy anything for that matter. NOTHING."
