Hi guys. New here.

Hey,

I work for a company that specializes in heavy vehicle taxes. Just dropping by to introduce myself. I don't drive a truck, but always wanted to take it for a spin.

Where are you guys from?

Tom

Welcome Tom. We have members here from all over the U.S. and few from around the world.
We have other members here that are not truck drivers here too.

Nice to see people on here that don't drive truck as well as drivers.
Again welcome to The Forum! Have a look around there is something here for everyone.

All I can recommend is to keep your distance in front and behind. When passing don't linger beside a truck, Get it done and leave space before moving back over.

A good rule is when you can see the truck tag on the front bumper in your rear view mirror that is a safe distance.

If you see a blue Freightliner pulling a tanker, stay out of his way. Rumor has it there's a crazy guy running around Arkansas in a tanker.
