Trucks Use Right 2 Lanes

The 'twilight zone' in VA always got me, where I81 and I77 meet for a few miles. Could never tell where those southbound/northbound bears where coming from. And I think there are two Flying J's in that "zone"

i grew up in that "zone" yep there is 2 j's there but one of them use to be a petro. it's hard as hell to give directions there. nobody believes you have to go south to get north or vice versa

I always thought those signs met drive in the center of both lanes effectively keeping all trucks behind you. Do you know something different on how to do this?

Did you ever train drivers @ SWIFT one of those idiots did just that over in Pa in a construction zone he said he didnt want anyone to pass him in the construction zone.

Now that is scary that someone has actually done this and as a trainer.

How odd swift is one of the short list of companys who's drivers appear to think that the 45 MPH constution zones is the place to catch up to the drivers without goveners.seen many a swift driver doing 60-65 in an active marked constution zone,as a matter of fact most the lines that have goveners appear to do that

Nobody in Indiana knows what the yield signs mean

i am thinkin there are a lot of folks who have no idea that when merging it is possible to press the skinny tall pedal down enough to actually merge ahead of me rather than into my right side.
they can push it down well enough when they are behind me so why not push it down and get ahead of me?

Always gets me when I have to slow down for someone merging especially a car ie Corvette, that you know can accelerate fast.
