Trucks Use Right 2 Lanes

You've seen those signs in some states: Trucks Use Right 2 Lanes.

I've been driving a truck for six years now and still haven't figured out how to comply. Can someone help?

My truck is only 8.5 feet wide. It fills one lane but even then leaves a few inches of open space on each side of the truck. How in the heck am I supposed to use two lanes when the law limits truck width to 8.5 feet?

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?

while we are on this mindset ... how do they tech deer to cross at the signs?

I have always heard that the Fish and Game are responsible for those signs. If you live next to or near deer crossing signs if you call fish game and act nice they will move them so you no longer have trouble with deer.

Another good one to use is when parking at Wal-Mart where signs are posted " No Overnight parking" Since we are not with Overnight Trucking we are fine to park at all of these Wal-Marts.

One I also laugh at is Watch for falling rocks. Boy do I watch but we must not go through at the right time as I have not seen the falling rocks.

Why do they call it a truck stop ,
if so many of them have no place for a truck to stop.

(OK , this one also kind of out there...)
