I normally don't post on other people's boards, but I'm making an exception this time, and am only speaking on my actions. Not everyone does this, every time another truck starts to pass me regardless of how fast they are going or how fast I'm going, I lift for a few seconds just to get then around me, we are the professionals, (using the term loosely) and make our living doing this. 4 wheelers on the other hand are part time drivers for the most part, IMO we drivers should show a little more common sense than just sitting there holding up traffic in the left lane. If someone catches you and then starts around it means they are faster even if it's only a few mph, once they get around, unless the are truckstop jockeys you probably won't see them again and they aren't in your way for long. WE ALL need to use s little common sense out there. Sorry to invade your board and and thank you for letting put my 2 cents in and be safe out there.

Why is it that only the people that don't need to apologize are willing and wanting to apologize ?

Great comment and I sure the hell hope to share a stretch of the road with you some day.

Very well put and I agree 110%. I back it down to 60 when a guy is struggling to pass me, unless we are both on a hill. Then it's every man for himself. Well I take that back, if nobody else is behind me and we're close to the top of the hill I'll lift and let the passer go on by then too. It's so much easier on me and everybody else just to let folks go by. I can only do 64. By the same token, if you give me a 64 mph truck and you get a 70, if you beat me home by more than 10 minutes I'll buy you a steak dinner. Keeping the left hand door shut is the key.
