I fucking hate truckers. I can't wait until they get replaced by self driving trucks

Oh the irony

I fucking hate highways. I can't wait until they get replaced by monorails.

Ex-Trucker here! Schneider is usually capped at 65 for company trucks and 69 for owner operators. When I drove I never tried to pass another semi unless I had at least 5mph on him, otherwise I'd just slow the fuck down. Yes, that 5mph can make a big difference in when I got home or where I made it but eventually you get your chance and it's not SO big that it's okay to be a dick and fuck the entire highway for 10 minutes.

The biggest problems are hills.... Yay, I can go 70 and you can only go 65! Time to p-... Oh shit, we're both going 65... Oh shit, I'm now going 60... Oh shit, all these cars hate me now... FML!

Yep, frustrating times it was. Fun fact, these trucks can easily go over 100mph and have mountains of torque, their RPM and top speed are both governed by the companies. I've had a couple ungoverned trucks and blew peoples minds when I went past them doing 85~90 (In Texas mind you).

Why?

90% of semis are speed-governed between 62 and 70.
The faster truck does need to be in front. Otherwise a dangerous convoy/pileup gets started (imagine trying to merge into one off the on-ramp)
The slower truck SHOULD bump down a couple mph for 15 seconds but if he isn't paying attention or doesn't care about saving you 20 seconds or is super obsessed with fuel efficiency, he won't. They get like 6 mpg and weigh up to 80,000 lbs so altering speed a lot does cost money.
Everyone gets mad at the left truck. But the right truck is the dick.

tire wear says otherwise

I have driven through half of the US for business. There is nothing worse than i85 in Georgia.

I swear those truckers have an extra two chromosomes when they're on i85.

The road can be open and no traffic, and there's ALWAYS two truckers side by side. Then they wonder why i85 is backed up worse than my colon after eating a 42oz steak.

I don't know where you learned to drive in just saying how it works on our roads. Problem is most idiots don't understand this simple concept, like user, ride in the middle lane until their exit is 5ft away and then they have to suddenly jump over and slow down, inconveniencing everyone around them. But they don't care because they're the only car on the road and everyone else should make way for them. A lot of better designed roads have temporary exit only lanes and acceleration lanes to accommodate for retards like you 2 who don't know how roads work.

Thats why once you get infront of him you jake down and slow his ass up.
