They come booming up behind you, tailgating, driving too fast - do they think they are indestructible? I think the guys who drive these huge trucks are short and insecure - what do you think?

I am not referring to commercial trucks, good buddy - I would have named them. I'm referring to the 4-wheel 909er rednecked monster trucks out there!

Lady let me tell you something. If you would get out of the hammer lane like you are supposed to when a big rig comes up on you, you would not be tailgated. Those drivers have schedules to keep and cant waster precious time playing the passing game with people that dont have a clue as to what these drivers go through. If I had to guess I wouldnt hesitate to guess that you dont seem to realize that almost everything you own was delivered by one of those giant trucks.
Your idea that "those who drive these huge trucks are short and insecure" is my proof that you are very ignorant.
So the next time one comes up behind you, please have the courtesy to get the heck out of the man/woman's way and let them pass.
OH and one more thing for your safety. DO NOT follow behind the rear tire of one of those huge trucks, if that tire were to blow out, you would be seriously hurt.

I think your stereotyping.
Don't sound so intimidated, they are responsible just as much or more than everyone else on the road.
If they tailgate, brake. If they hit you, just like everyone else they are at fault. You'd be best to just get out of the way though, the road is theirs as well and you might be in their way. If everyone would yield to the faster vehicle I bet 90% of our traffic problems would be fixed.
Even though most of these trucks owners are ignorant assholes does not mean they all are. There are still plenty of responsible off-roaders. I will say though that most of the time the best performing off road vehicles are mid-sized to compact trucks and jeeps.

I just would love to know just how much you do know about the trucking industry. You say its not made for girls, you are right. WOMEN drive them. Little girls like you wouldnt last 5 minutes doing what they do. The next time one comes up on you like that, have the courtesy to get out of the way and then you wont be complaining.
Do you have any idea of the schedules these
men and women are on???? Do you know how many hours they have to drive???? Do you know how many scales they have to go across? Do you know that if it werent for these Semis, you would not have all the luxuries you love?
Grow up and learn a few things!!!!!
Oh, one more thing. Please dont think that these trucks can stop on a dime. They weigh out to about 80,000 pounds.

I think that generalization is not very nice. My husband drives a
"giant" truck and he is 5 foot 11 inches tall and he is very secure in who he is. Not all truck drivers are bad ones. But unfortunately their are enough of them out there that give the rest of them a bad name.

Compensating for small penis is my guess. I hate those kind of guys and girls that drive that way thats why I just stomp on the gas and let my Mopar leave em in the dust.

You mean these huge pick-up truck drivers that act like @$$ holes on the free way - bully-ing everyone around? So, I thought Michigan drivers were some of the rudest - is this more wide spread than I thought?

All people who drive large vehicles seem to think they are better drivers than they really are. Part of the problem is their ability to see above other vehicles. It gives them a false sense of ability.
I believe this was a NSF finding.

These guys flatter themselves by calling themselves Rednecks, but they're actually just hillbillies. They are definitely compensating for something; small brains, little buttondicks, insecurities, self doubt from being inbred, who knows? Basically they're just rural as'sholes and you should ignore them. They're just trying to impress you, but are pissed off because they know they can't have you, I guess.

They do this to intimidate you. One got behind me one day, and I put my brakes and slow down, he the came beside me, and said do you know how big this truck is? I said yes I know you hit me you go to jail. And then he left me alone. On the road I don't get intimidated easily.

Yes I hate when they come barreling off the on ramp and force you to drive of the road to get out of their way. The interstate need to make them drive in one specific lane instead of terrorizing all of the other drivers.
