To those who are not truckers and are not familiar with the culture, here's something to consider. Truckers as a whole are there to serve everyone. Everything you own was hauled by a trucker at one point or another. They work hard and spend a lot of time away from their families to make all of our lives better.
Passenger vehicles (damn 4 wheelers as I call them) can drive anywhere but trucks can't. When you're around them, give them plenty of room to maneuver. Especially on city streets. Many of the streets that trucks have to travel do not provide enough turning room and trees along the side are ofter inadequately pruned so they have to ride the line to keep from damaging their truck. I try to think of the interstate as a truckers domain. Let them do their job and the 4 wheelers need to spend as little time as possible there. On surface streets, let the trucks do their job so they can get you your food, dry goods, etc. then get out of the way.
Now that I drive a truck, I owe a big apology to all the truckers I didn't accomidate when I could have.
The next time you buy something, anything, thank a trucker for bringing it to you.
