All semi trucks must drive in right most lane at all times. No passing. Ever.
One thing we can all agree on?

Generally speaking, truckers know how to drive on interstate highways. Way more than I can say for our friends from Wisconsin.
Naw, there has to be an exception. I was on I-10 yesterday in a 70MPH zone. There were semi's running 70+, but there was also a very old Toyota, loaded like the Beverly Hillbillies, driving about 50 in the right lane.
The one that drives me crazy is the guy that decides he has to pass the other slow truck going uphill in the mountains. 50mph is too slow! So I'm going to pass him at 52 mph and back up traffic for six miles behind me!

Imagine a country with long stretches of three lane highways and interstates. Where a true fast lane existed and trucks were required by law to remain in the center or right lanes.
This board couldn't even agree on Kate Upton being super attractive. That's when I lost all faith in us all agreeing on a single topic.
That may have been true at one time. But in recent years trucking companies have been forced to dig deeper to find drivers. Now a significant percentage of truck drivers have no business being on the road at all, let alone behind the wheel of a 40-ton rig.
The worst is when semis get in the left lane to pass right before a steep hill is coming up.
I mean: if you want I-80 between the river and Iowa City even more jacked up….then sure.
I'm fine with them passing they just need to hammer down or get the eff out of the way
I've never been on the autobahn but my understanding is you HAVE to be passing to be in the left lane. I'm OK with that.
how often are semis hammering down?

Oh right, never.
This board is still obsessed with Selma Hayek like it's 1998. So I don't really trust any of their takes on attractiveness.
We have those all over and idiots from Wisconsin still drive in the left lane.
When they’re exiting the interstate and are engine-braking on the ramp because they’re douches.

To be fair, the company's they drive for track all this.
They don't hammer down because it can impact their pay.
I hate it when they move into the passing lane and take 10 minutes to pass the car (or cars) and then get back into the right hand lane
There was unity a few years ago on Joes Place "tripped out" truck being a WOB.
I wish we would go ahead and begin to add an additional lane to our major interstate system. The additional lane would eventually be designated for autonomous vehicles only. Self-driving cars, semis, busses, etc. would be able to more safely and efficiently travel the road system. The automated freight could end up at regional hubs to be unloaded and distributed locally as needed.
Nothing I love more than watching a pick up with a camper try to maneuver through morning traffic.
and require us to double our transportation funding (interstate projects are obscenely expensive)
As much as they can I would guess. It’s the governor installed that limits the truck’s top speed.
People that have no idea about the trucking industry crack me up. Drivers are not going to sit behind a slower moving vehicle when their production is based off of their pay. Pass all you want truckers, we're behind you!
