I just dont understand why truckers have to ride side-by-side on 2 lane highways. Take I-45... I drive down to Houston from time to time, and I am willing to bet tons of money that I will see at least 5 instances where truckers are driving side-by-side doing the same speed.... with NO cars in front of them. What the hell is up with that?

To who all of you hate truckers... I appalaude your own opinons... I personally am not a trucker, but I will tell everyone that they do not get enough credit for what they do, or the bullshit they have to go through with so many drivers. As a driver I myself deal with dumbass people on the roads in houston, but o well they will learn there lessons one day.. And to all of the truckers on this forum... thank you for the service you provide and the patience you have with most people on the roads, but you are getting paid for it as well. So take the good and bad for what it is...

I drive and have never been in an accident and I am always passive to civillian drivers but just like there are bad drivers (4 wheelers) there are bad 18 wheeler drivers too..

Hey avenged. Who do you drive for? My dad drives a frac tank winch truck out of Bridgeport. He drove a cattle truck for 25 years before he started this job. Never an accident and he put 1.75 million miles in about 8.5 years on his '86 Peterbilt that he bought brand new. Kept rod and main bearings in her and did only one major overhaul to the 3406B Cat at 1 million and then sold the truck for 26K to a salebarn in East TX.
As far as all the people bitching, truckers can be a big help in a lot of situations. People should learn courtesy such as a light flash when the truck is all the way around so they can get back in the slower lane.

I just drove back from Tenn. a few weeks ago. I thought all the trucks did a great job of staying in the right lane. It was a little tough when one would pass the other but that was because I was going 14 mph over the speed limit. I had more issues with regular cars staying in the left lane and not moving over. I know I did after I passed someone. Thanks.
