While not a semi driver I have spent a great deal of time on the highways of America. You just can't take that shut to serious.
The ones that I get a kick out of are;
The same two semi's that pass each other 20 times in a 15 mile stretch of road. They always seem to time it so the next batch of traffic has to get on the brakes hard.
The driver who will pass a semi at 1 mph faster than the semi, but do 25 over getting to the next semi so no one can pass them.
The guy who drives ten under in the left lane so he does not pass the state trooper in the right lane.
The semi driver I follow for 20 miles at 5 under suddenly finds a gear he can do 20 over on a passing stretch of highway.
The expression of the semi drivers face when the state trooper pulls the one who has been in the left lane right next to his co-worker in the right lane for the last 30 miles with 4 and a half miles of traffic backed up behind them. (that “what I’d do look”)
The driver that comes screaming up past you, just to slam on the brakes and cut across two lanes to make his exit.
The driver who upon entering the highway will cut out across 4 lanes just to get to the left lane. Of course this is done at 25 under the limit with everyone one else hard on the brakes. (this is usually the same guy who comes screaming up on you and exits a half mile down the road)
The driver who is riding you @$$ and when you move over, refuses to pass you until you hit slower traffic. Then suddenly is doing 5 under until you pass them and it starts all over again.
And my favorite is the driver that just must be in front of you and either slows down once there, or does not have the balls to pass the trooper parked in the median at 5 over slamming on the brakes to get down to 5 under so he does not get a ticket. (if you’re going to speed, have the balls to do it)

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
