Hell must have frozen over. A filthy democrat finally made a good, educated decision! I'm a professional over the road trucker. I have over 2 million accident free miles. I haul produce. Last year I was away from my family for 305 days. I made 83k. I paid 16k just in highway taxes. Please check out ooida.com to find out more about truckers. Its a tough job. I'm not complaining, I'm proud to have a job that every American relies on. My family shares the road with truckers too. I keep that in mind while I'm working next to yours on the highway. I usually drive around the speed limit. My truck is designed to get the best fuel mileage at 67-72 mph. I live in Ohio and only travel to the state to go home. The troopers harass us too much. We affectionately call them revenue collectors. We are always in a hurry cause the deadlines are always tight and most of us get paid by the mile. I personally Don't want your respect, I just want you to respect the 80,000 pound machine I'm driving. It takes 300 feet to come to a complete stop at 55 mph. Leave us space. Don't drive in our blind spot-we can't see you. Give us a courtesy headlight flash when we pass you. Pass us on the right. The majority of us care about you, and we pay attention to your driving even when you don't. Thanks- gravytrain
