In order of importance on the road…Class one full time
Class one agency
Class two full time
Class two agencyYou need to learn and accept this,if you are class two agency you should actually count yourself lucky you’re allowed to share our roads.
Agree with Conan; Drive/cruise just under the limiter then when you do start passing trucks you’ve got another few clicks in reserve as a boost should you need it.
Christ I’m only a class 2 tipper driver with a day cab and no spotlights who’s worked for the Carrot Crunchers of Ogbourne St. George and I know this.

Do you lot think I’m thick, I’ve been driving trucks for 27 years. I know about the momentum aspect, I bet all those replies come from Class 1 I own the road brigade, the three instances I quoted were all on flat sections It’s a game you lot like to play & of course you’re never wrong!I call it baby games!!!

Worse when you get some clown trucker who decides to come up your inside and join onto the bumper of the truck your attempting to overtake !!
this!
Evil8Beezle:
A few minor incidents and before we know it, we all start feeling like the world’s against us.
How many trucks did you pass that didn’t hang you out to dry?
The problem is that as humans we all focus and dwell on the negative, often making more out of it than it really is.
Just chill, knock off a couple of clicks and turn up the Bob Marley!
+1
If you cant/don’t pass fall back, pull in behind adjust speed, turn up radio

+1. You look like a ■■■■ if you keep at it, even though you know the game is lost. Blowing your horn just adds to the tragedy.
Give up, know your place, fall in.
I think you have length envy.

I’ll tell you what I’ve noticed is happening more a lately, the not flashing in from other drivers once you have passed them. Even more so when it’s dark
Just where has the drivers etiquette gone these days? Also the bell ends who stay at the side of you once you have pulled out to let them on the motorway from the slip road or even worse will just undertake you and not give you any thanks or ■■■■ all You can come to expect it from your normal car drivers but from other " professional drivers" it boils my urine
I used to flash in but never got a thanks, so now adopted the policy of flashing started with lorries from the 1950,s that had small mirrors that vibrated .
With modern vehicles the mirrors are large enough so you should move over when you think it is safe, not when being flashed in .
What if the guy flashed you in too early and you pull in and hit him ?
