without doctors, the world stops  
without computer nerds fixing stuff, the world stops  
without construction workers building and fixing stuff, the world stops…

Truckers have a job like everyone else and are no more important than anyone else.

I just got back from the Outer Banks and the worst thing about highway driving this year wasn’t the truckers. It was the fucking morons driving slow in the right lane and moving into the left lane to let cars merge on. If it is a 2 lane road, fuck the merging traffic, there will eventually be a break in traffic. There is no need to slow up the fast lane 10-15mph because you want to be nice to the merging traffic. You may be nice to them, but you are fucking the people actually driving.

> When a truck literaly almost stops in the left lane during a merge point to block traffic, it just drives me crazy. Since shooting is not an option… can I call the police or something? Write down his plate? Im sure this has to be illegal, someone correct me if im wrong. I can’t stand most truckers. I do appreciate a trucker that knows how to drive tho… they are very curdious people… It just seems like there is noone nice in the middle… its either a trucker is extremely nice and considerate, or a total fucking prick.

I could not agree with you more here. Especially when there are signs that say “USE BOTH LANES TO MERGE POINT.” That means, if you get in the lane 2 miles before you need to, there is no need to be a dick and block the people that can read.

It’s not just trucks, it’s anyone. I come across it all the time and there is nothing more irritating. Why does everyone merge so damn early around here? it just slows traffic down worse, causes congestion much further back then it would if people used common sense.

I always go as far up as I can before merging, but I never go fast. I’ll just slowly creep up to the merge point and someone will let me in. Going fast in this situation is a great way to piss people off.  
_puts on flame suit_ Ok, now I’m ready for the haters.

I do that everyday going to/from work. And I even do it when there are no signs that say “Use both lanes to merge point”. It’s stupid to sit there when there is a perfectly good lane to drive in. 😃

For the same reason that we have to drive through two lane tunnels to get into the city. Most people around here become idiots when they hit the road.

Without the supplies from trucks the doctors have no use.  
Your Point is no where. Go back to driving school.

it’s a moot point.

I personally think big trucks should have their own roads so that cars can actually get somewhere on the highway in a reasonable amount of time.

Leave earlier :stick:

I love holding up traffic on 2 lane roads, Especially when i get the finger.  
they speed off and pass me illegally and only to catch the next redlight.  
Makes my 2 minutes of the day and makes you look like even bigger idiot.:kekegay:

You spend a day in a truck, you would have a different view. Until then shut it.
