Does anyone else find this strangely erotic?
I'm sure she's an OWS'r so she'll get no sympathy here.

As a 25 + year truck driver . I will never get tired of saying how much I really dislike 90% of the DISPATCHERS . Childish lowlife liars . They threaten the drivers to drive too quickly to meet a deadline that usually does not exist . They are sadistic diseases that God placed on this planet after he ran out of locusts. They would gladly endanger 1000 people a day just to kiss a pimple on a rich man's a$$.

Are you sure you are a trucker? I have found most of your posts far too articulate to come from such a surly bunchFor the third time...(WTF is wrong with the system today?)
1. I have observed that no act of courtesy goes unpunished, consequently I have been disciplining myself not to indulge. My favorite example is when approaching a slower-moving vehicle and observing another vehicle approaching at high speed from behind, patiently waiting for the faster driver to pass only to have them slow to match speed with me and box me in behind the slow mover.
2. The industry is infested with people who can't drive who are driving on account of both free-standing driving schools and more commonly and worse by volume and quality, larger trucking companies which would put a chimpanzee in a truck if they could teach it to steer which run their own training programs. In both cases, putting asses in seats is the pay item with no regard for the quality of drivers the are turning out.
3. The passing at 3/16 mph difference is often made far worse by teh aforementioned companies having their chimpanzee trucks governed at or more commonly well below the speed limit.
4. The application of the word professional is laughable. I am unaware of any other occupation being micromanaged by the .gov right down to telling you how long you have to sleep and whether it must be done in one sitting or in two 5 hour periods separated by 5 hours up (they have gone back and forth on this one). Professionals are generally left to police themselves until such a time that a given individual proves incapable of that and is then dealt with individually.
5. When my grandparents learned to drive, the quality of driving was taken with the utmost seriousness, less so with my parents' generation, not at all now.
6. The general prevalence of the self-serving attitude is greater in our society than it has been at any time past, with courtesy receding in inverse proportion.

I'll only say that I've really felt like my life has been in danger by really bad truck driving in the past. There are some who use their trucks to intimidate. I had one once who swerved to run me off the road. I still think that the majority of them don't participate in this kind of road rage. Most do seem to be just trying to do the job by getting to where they need to go.
There are real jerks in all jobs and professions and some of them are on here. They seem to get off by grinding their axes. It gets old quickly when "adults" can't accept that they made mistakes and got caught. My advice is to get over it.
One other thing I will say, is that anyone who has a job that puts them in a position of authority over other folks had better not be there because they think that they are going to get a lot of "love". If you want "love" then get one where you rescue kittens from trees.

I can't count the number of times I was cut off so that a trucker could driver .0000025% faster than another and take 20 minutes to pass. ..., going 55.1mph while the other guy is only going 55.05mph ...

In the OP, this is a VALID complaint that I see over and over EVERY TIME I drive on the Interstate.
Truckers DIDN'T USED TO DRIVE THIS WAY in years past.
In years PAST, when a trucker passed somebody, they just pulled in the left lane and just passed normally like everybody else.
Why the change?
There's no conclusion other than they INTENTIONALLY do this that I can come to.
If I was a police officer I would pull them over and ticket them for intentionally blocking traffic.
It is against the law.
IC 35-42-2-4
Obstruction of traffic
Sec. 4. (a) A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic commits obstruction of traffic, a Class B misdemeanor.
(b) The offense described in subsection (a) is:
(1) a Class A misdemeanor if the offense includes the use of a motor vehicle; and
(2) a Class D felony if the offense results in serious bodily injury.

But that raises the question to me, are they really impeeding traffic if they are doing the speed limit or above?
Seems to me that in order to impeed traffic you would have to be going under the posted speed limit.
