Most Truckers are extremely curtious and treat others with respect.
Unfortunetly they have timelines, log books, and delivery dates in conjunction with low hauling rates which all combine for a tough haul for the truckers.
My biggest problem is the lack of driving skill and road knowledge which results in holding the truckers up or not allowing them the speed with which they want to approach a hill. I pull over whenever possible and do speed up when possible.
On one Cross Canada trip pulling a 15K bumper pull trailer with a 96 dodge diesel with a camper on it [ gross 24K ] I spent some evening truck stop time talking to one of the fellows with whom I'd been playing leapfrog all day. He indicated I'd not done too badly and did note I was way overloaded.
