Between OP's picture and the hills, it's a living nightmare.

The faster moving trucks behind the slower trucks generally don't want to slow down and match speed.

This is because truckers generally get paid cents per mile driven. The faster they drive, the more quickly they earn money. They also have strict regulations about how long they can drive at once. And because they're driving semi-trucks, and because they have to rest for several hours between drives, they have very few good places to stop when they hit that regulated time on how long they can drive. So, they want to make their way to their destination, or to a known good place to rest, as quickly as possible to ensure they don't have to break regulations or stop in a poor location.

Meanwhile, it's common for fleets to install speed limiters on the trucks to keep them from speeding. Now, due to the inherent inaccuracies of speedos, even if two trucks have speed limiters set to the same speed, they can often move at slightly different real-world speeds.

This is where it comes from. The guy behind can go faster than the guy in front, even if only slightly. And because the guy behind can pass him, he will. He doesn't want to slow down and risk having to make the choice between driving past the legal limit or stopping in a location that doesn't want semi-trucks parked there. He also wants to reach his destination and start the next delivery as soon as possible because that's how he makes his money.

>why do truckers like to pass each other at a 1mph difference
becuase hard acceleration uses a fuckton more fuel, you fuck.

I shouldn't have laughed at this

Honk at them and flip a bird when I pass them.
Trcucks and taxi / uber fags will always get triggered by the littlest things for people being that much on the road, it's hilarious.
Fuck 'em.

it's shitty for us too, guys

>why do truckers like to pass each other at a 1mph difference

sometimes the trucks can not go any faster especially with a heavy load. Or they'll be loaded down, go to pass, then they hit a hill and they can no longer pass.

or they have speed limiters, most fleets limit trucks' top speed to 55-65mph
