re: Truckers are the worst drivers and possibly the worst people

I wish truck drivers were confined to the right lane like in Europe.

I think truckers are the one job most people hope gets automated.
If they all just stayed in the right lane and didn't try to speed it'd be a lot better. I think we are ten years away.

Pig Pen, this here’s a Rubber Duck, we gonna clog that left lane up, 10-4.

Cause we got us a convoy trucking through the night,

Yeah, we got us a convoy, making Korkstand want to fight,

Convooooooy

Just kidding, drive I-70 and you’ll be outnumbered 20-1.

Yeh, let's ban truckers and starve to death.

Who said anything about banning them? You're about 5th person to suggest that they simply can't do their jobs without being assholes in the process.

why it's required to cut off a passenger vehicle before making a pass.

Is it possible that they let several other passenger vehicles go before finally making their move and you were simply late to the situation?

I was behind one yesterday in the left lane. We were both passing. He didn’t move over to the right, so when I got enough distance I loved right. There was a car in the right lane, but way in front. As I was passing this idiot, I actually saw him roll coals trying to speed up so I wouldn’t have room to get in front of him. First, he should have moved over into the right lane. Second, if he had enough arse left to punch it so I couldn’t get in front, he should have been using that to drive the speed limit in the first place.

They are a bunch of arseholes and I truly believe that there are a few good ones in the bunch of assholes as opposed to a few bad ones amongst a group of good ones.

Nobody but the truckers themselves will be upset when their job gets automated. Y’all act like we would all starve if truckers weren’t assholes. I can guarantee that guy passing me did not get me my food any quicker or cheaper than if he hadn’t done it. That’s just justifying a-hole behavior.

oh you just don't understand how the trucks handle

They don’t handle too terribly. I’ve had several on I22 jerk their rig over into the left lane in front of me, damn near dragging the Mansfield Bar across my grille, to get in the left lane to pass that rig going a half MPH faster. Then the idiot in the right lane holds it against the Governor instead of just letting the other truck pass. Then the race is on! To be settled 5 miles down the road while the road rage flares up behind them.

Give me a road full of truckers instead of pickup truck drivers any day. No bigger assholes on the road than dudes in pickups.

This is true.

Well we all know that automated trucking is on the way so in the not to far future it won’t be an issue anymore. We will have to start thanking Elon Musk for our groceries instead of a self important trucker.
