Pet peeve: no matter what you do in a truck someone gets mad.

You’re either driving too fast or too slow. You try to stay in the slow lane but catch up to the person going 45 on the interstate who speeds up as soon as you get next to them trapping you in the fast lane until you give them ‘incentive’ to let you back over.

I could go on and on but my government mandated 30 break was over six minutes ago and there’s people to annoy on the two lane highway I get to drive on until Texas.

People are generally oblivious idiots, but I've also seen some truly insane truck drivers on I-84 in CT, stuff like tailgating people in the left lane at 70+ at night.

I’ve seen countless truly insane car drivers over the years where I honestly thought people were going to die. Some did die.

I’ve also have seen some truck crashes where I’m like “how is that even possible?”

The thing with truck drivers is the bad ones don’t last very long. It’s almost impossible to get another driving job after getting fired for being a shitty driver.

—edit—

And law enforcement holds professional drivers to a higher standard so there’s no talking your way out of a ticket if they see you doing something stupid. Most of the time that’s when they get all up into the logbook and full on level 1 DOT inspection on the truck.

Indeed, it's as if some truck drivers are guilty of the same bad behaviour as regular car drivers.
