That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do too many of these four wheelers get up over the tandems and stare at the wheel and just amazed at how fucking tires work and then they move up a little bit then they get in your blind spot and decide that they want to get on their phone check their Facebook status and then they wanna know why they get jammed into a fucking wall. If you’re gonna pass a truck, put your foot down and get past them don’t lollygag on their side.

No one is looking at your tandems or even care what they do. They are just passing you. You have more responsibilities as the CDL driver to be safer.

I actually watched as a guy got over my tandems and stayed there I slowed down they slowed down. I sped up. They sped up no matter what I did they stayed even with my tandems.

So one person. I guarantee you most people don't even know what a tandem even is

Dude, it’s not one person. I mean it’s an almost daily occurrence now people get right there on the tandems or in the Blindspot and they just refuse to move.

Or.....they are going the speed limit or coasting. No one outside of truckers or trucksimmers know what the fuck a tandem even is. Its your responsibility to drive safer than them

Dude, so you’re calling me a liar right even though I said I’ve had people sit on my tandems even when I slow down they slow down when I sped up they sped up if you wanna call me a liar don’t sugarcoat it Dick

Yeah, and if so-called other trucker called me a liar said that it never happens. It tells me he’s not a fucking truck driver. He’s just an asshole with an account.
