I still enjoyed the video 😁
Please just use a plain black or white font. The double line fonts can be hard to read on a cell screen.
@Robert Leonard I have no problem with the speed--and you can just hit pause if you read slowly--but with my lousy eyesight I struggle a bit with fancy fonts.
ya me too, at .57 he would have been toast
No need to apologize, thank you for your efforts!
I love the way the first guy used his turn signals. Very polite of him.
A polite arsehole?
So many petty people
@James Olelo so cutting a semi off isn’t stupid?
@James Olelo I take it you’re not a driver and didn’t read what the message said, he went around the guy cause he was driving slow, I see no where where the semi cut him off, plan and simple if u play with semi truck u get hurt, it’s happen to me before but luckily my dash cam was working, insurance scam avoided.
@James Olelo read very well actually 3.5gpa but like I said Ik a cutoff when I see 1 and see no cutoff by the semi
I will never understand people that cut off and brake check semi's. I always wonder if they have a death wish or just stupid. Stay safe out there and God bless you!
Trucking companies have big insurance policies. At least that's what one lawyer commercial i saw said.
They are very stupid.
I never understood why people brake check at all. Your pissed someone slowed you down so now your gonna slow down more than they did to get back at them?
i only did it once to a truck that was tailgating me on a two lane road at night. i was doing the speed limit so i guess he wanted to go 80 and for me to drive on the shoulder and let him pass, which i may have done in the daytime. i slowed him to nothing and left his ass sitting at the bottom of a hill. i was younger and dumber then, probably wouldn't do it now.
From the description it sounded like the trucker cut them off first.
A million THANKS to all you truck drivers. Without you we never would receive the products or groceries we need and desire especially during the lock done for covid. GOD Blees you guys.
Also curse you, because retail stockers have to stock a shit ton of stuff as a job lmao
"How much signal do I need to change 8 lanes? None? I turn now. Good luck everybody else!"
Family Guy. Nice!
Exactly what I thought lmao
Not gonna lie that first trucker had tremendous patience, at around the 0:57 mark I woulda just knocked him off the road and kept going.... guess that’s why I’m not a trucker lol
Walamo I was thinking the same!
Yea it’s frustrating sometimes when you got people like that to deal with.
I was in a military convoy here stateside many moons ago I was driving a duece an half cargo, had a car playing games with me, What he didn't know was load I was carrying was considered a secure load. We were told not to let anything stop us (police cars in every town stopped traffic for us ) Captain seen what was going on and had his driver fall back to me and said get rid of him.
Guy in the car cuts me off again about 3 miles up the road and I grab 4th high and hit the gas, (35mph ) knocked him right into the ditch.
Captain radioed for MPs to come check it out, thats all I was told. scratched my bumper dammit! But it ruined me when I came back to civilian life, I couldn't start driving truck after I had the satisfaction of giving an idiot some payback with no repercussions.
@@TheWabbit But you had one moment of joy that most of us will never experience.
Yeah I'd put him in the wall several times same with that ram truck with the rear lights
When I was learning to drive, 40 years ago now (ouch!), my dad said to me, "Always assume the other guy's an idiot ..... because he probably is!"
Best advice I ever got. And videos like yours here suggest his advice applies equally (probably more so) today.
AMEN
My dad to me a rhyme.
He knew he was right as he hurried along.
Now he's as dead as if he'd been wrong.
Sometimes it's better to give up the right of way.
Andif he’s not an idiot he’s a drunk . Today who knows?
Same. And given that ½ the population has an IQ under 100... not far from true!
same. They like to call it 'defensive driving'. Ha, it's really 'guess who the idiot is' at every moment. At every moment I'm making educated guesses about the drivers around me. This kid is driving daddys mustang, this lady has her phone up to her left ear, this guy is going 5 under--either hes about to turn, looking for something or is old.
I can’t imagine doing anything to make truck drivers’ jobs harder. We rely on them to bring the things we need to grocery stores and retail outlets and yet they’re so under appreciated. A big thank you to all truck drivers!
Love how the last shot is ALWAYS FedEx being FedEx.
At Least It wasn't SWIFT
I drove truck for 34 years and gave it up at 55 because of this kinda crap. I will always respect you guys because I cant count how many times another driver has helped me out when I needed it.I still think of truckers as my family and will always show respect for you guys. Without you there would be no bread on my table. Prayers to all you professional drivers out there. keep safe and keep us safe. Mike
Amen!
I too gave it up several year's ago only because of family matters, I Loved my job but i did notice an increase in road rage happening on the daily in every state I went to.
I pray 🙏🏼for my fellow trucker's out there, I know what they have to endure from every angle, can't be a sissy and drive a truck. I guess it reallly does get in our blood. Thank you to all the hardworking driver's who keep America going......👊💥
When my Dad taught me to drive when I was 16, the first lesson was - you always yield the right away to a trucker, always slow down and let them merge safely & if their turn signal stays on a and they have cleared you, blink your brights so they know you’re giving them the room to merge safely.
Then he took me out on the major highways near Cleveland Ohio during rush hour and at night and he first demonstrated to me the correct way and then made me do it night after night and day after day.
I have always had the utmost respect for truck drivers and I continue to drive the same way I was taught at the age of 16.
@@debbiegrasse3920 well your dad was a great man to pass on to you such skills .
Why do people do this??!! It seems so stupid: car vs semi!
"Stirred his Cheerios the wrong way", heh. I'm using that...
Think that was Johnny Be Good (JBG Travels) driving by the sound of the music, who on earth could be a jerk to him, he is always considerate. Someone else might have spun that punk out.
Kaasmeester yeah because the “peed in your Cheerios” that’s been being used for years can hardly compare. Like saying idiotass instead of dumbass and someone thinking it’s brilliant and clever.

@@briankennedy1313 whoa watch out, he’s triggered
Good reminders especially of how we car drivers need to give these guys and gals plenty of time and room and how much they have to deal with being on the roads with each other and the rest of us. Thanks, drivers, for all you do getting our goods to us. There should be a national appreciation day for you.
Good thing I don't drive a truck. The first time someone did this to me, they'd be off the road with a waffle for a car.
That last one was painful because you KNOW what was coming lol.....
He was following the line that the much smaller truck in front did.. thinking he could do the same
@@dubious6718 Also it's Fed-ex... they seem to have something of a reputation apparently, gotta wonder how they get their licence for those big rigs in the first place.
Muskoka Mike
, he just saved the local FedEx driver the headache of smashing the deliveries by tossing them over the recipient's fence. Right now it's a close call as to who is doing a better job of smashing packages, FedEx or the USPS.
@@richardcline1337 At least FedEx and USPS gets you your package at a decent time. UPS will say it's coming today, then give no updates until the next morning when you inevitably didn't get your package the day before and say it's been delayed from unforeseen circumstances.
And that FedEx driver should've known better too...
I used to love to drive, particularly out West, in empty country. Now, I avoid driving anywhere, if I possibly can. People have gone absolutely nuts.
It's that GTA5 syndrome !! They take out their aggression on trucks ( cause they're jealous) and think they are safe in their cage, one day they'll brake check the wrong guy , or wrong place , and wind up with a truck goin right over their car !!
I so totally agree, luckily I can arrange my schedule to travel when the least amount of folks are up and about. I totally stay clear of big cities any more.

Absolutely terrifying video, but I'm sure this happens everyday. Respect.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for truck drivers. These guys/gals are the backbone of our Nation🙏🏼🇺🇸
26 years ago when I was a young lady a trucker saved my friend and I from a creep that fallowed us from a truck stop, I wish we knew who he was , we want to bless him or her,
How did he save you?
Just look at the guys on death row or doing life those guys never change.
It's a nice thought on your part, but humans cannot bless humans (nor anything else)---only God can bless anyone/anything. The most, and best, thing you can do is thank that trucker.

To the truckers who do their job respectfully and well, thank you so much & I apologize on behalf of these idiots
For those few truck drivers that do Drive professionally and respectfully. I experienced MANY rude and very Reckless thoughtless truck drivers every time I drive across country... every season. They'll run your right off the fucking road and pull right out in front of you as you're getting ready to pass, if not run you off the road doing it. Many of Truckers should lose their license for the way they drive, if I wasn't his quick-thinking as I am I'm certain I would be dead many times over because of these thoughtless bastard I think they fucking on the road sometimes I just want to let them run me over just to fucking sue their ass.

4:01 i dont really see anything wrong with this one lol, gave the truck enough of a warning before he went into his lane.
Yeah, a little tight, but not crazy bad
Could be just how hard the guy braked
And he could’ve moved over a tad more into the side lane on the road
I really appreciate these videos. I see stuff like this all the time. It makes me realize how dangerous people are on the freeways
I don’t understand what people think. I held a guys hand, while trying to tell him he wasn’t gonna die and he did. He got t-boned by a non Cdl cat in a farmers bean truck. Bean truck ran a stop sign and hit the guy. He was pinned in the vehicle. Please be careful out there!

The most amazing thing I ever had was I installed two electric actuators to automatically open my tool box lid. I had a 52" 300W LED light bar installed so I could park my trailer at night and see the stupid thing in the booneys. One day inwas heading to a job with trailer in tow and the road merged from 2 to 1 this idiot in a mustang tried flying past me on the right but the lane ended to soon and I didnt let him in since it would have put me into oncoming. We get to a light and he is slamming his horn, flicking me off the works. I just flipped the switch opened the lid and gave him a light show. Light turned green I shut the lid and drove on my wayward son. It's the little things in life.

Totally awesome.
I hope you don't mind if I steal this idea
lol I'm subbed to you, didn't think I'd see you here!
on second thought.. hmm..
Thanks for the commentary - that's a real good addition to these vids.
I try not to ever ride up on anyone ahead of me, just keep to the old rule I was taught as a young driver: one car distance ahead for every 10 miles per hour. Works well for me. I also don't care if people cut in front when I'm doing the speed I choose, which is usually about 5 mph over whatever limit.
I try very hard to let semi's have the room I know they need. My father drove one occasionally and I rode with him a few times. Sometimes traffic isn't so forgiving and there are multiple A holes on the road. I did chuckle at the "stirred his cheerios the wrong way" comment. 😆
What have I learned.
-In America, if you buy a gallon of milk, they throw in a driving license for $2 extra.
-Situations that can easily be avoided shouldn't be avoided at all cost.
-It's better to be right, crash and kill someone than acting sensible.
-When you're at fault, either drive away and act like nothing happened, lie about it like a scumbag or just blame everybody else.
-Always brake check when your feelings get hurt because that's how a princess should behave.
-Never use common sense while driving.
There are many more stuff
like that out there. So sad to what is happening, not just on the road.

@The Farting Cell-Phone Videos they complain because being cut off when you're in a 50k pound vehicle can KILL SOMEONE. ever seen those videos of people brake-checking semis and getting hit? Complete crunch. Death wish.
I lost my son 11-2-2020 because of a brake checker like these idiots. My son wrecked because of him, and witnesses say he had avoided hitting the car that brake checked him. Brake checker got away scott free. People in cars & pick ups need to show respect to you professional drivers. Thank you guys for putting yourselves on the line every day.
"Mustof stirred his cheerios the wrong way"! 🤣Best line ever!
The way I see it is, trucks are working, I’m in a car, I’m going to work or shopping or shit that can wait a minute or two so I give the trucks a bit of space & a bit of courtesy as I want the items to be trucked to the shops.
Keep on trucking.
And the folk that don't are the ones who ALWAYS complain when their deliveries are 3 seconds late.
I am the same way but that being said, even though they have the right of way, I hate truckers that dont get over to let you merge on the highway if no one is around. Also the ones that dont speed up or slow down if they are passing another tucker...
@@MrGaiden100 I quit moving over to let people merge because 9 times out of 10. everyone will start passing me on the right holding me in the middle lane. Even other trucks will hold me instead of slowing down a little to let me back over. So I don’t do it anymore, it’s up to the person entering the highway to merge safely. Speed up or slow down.
Truckers are carrying food and goods to make our life better. A douche in a pickup truck who decides it is a good idea to brake check people is only carrying his head inside his ass, which does not seem to benefit anyone.
Totally agree, I always give trucks the right of way, it takes nothing from my life!
I’ve never heard that before lol “must’ve stirred his Cheerios the wrong direction.” I love that.
1:20 I immediately thought the same thing, I am damn impressed that guy stayed upright on his motorcycle hitting all those giant traffic Barrel
OMG the motorcycle rider running theirselves out of space into the safety barriers…..awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
brake checker: *[brakes in front of me]*
me: *[speeds up]*
brake checker: no, that's not how you're supposed to play the game!
Reminds me of Megamind
I’d do the same thing. 😂 I’d slowly gain speed and see what they do, if they then break again then I’ll slow down, if they don’t, I’d still slow down

1:52 "Never Pass on the right." In a perfect world, yes. Unfortunately left lane campers pretty much force people to pass on the right. Though clearly in this case moron was just an impatient moron, as the truck WAS getting over.
I have been driving fifty years and at no time did it ever occur to me to pass on the right, it's like the 'yellow line' you don't mess with it.
@@guynorth3277 I guess you are content to stay behind the vehicles camping out in the left lane then.
Yeah. And it's possible to pass on the right safely in certain circumstances - i.e. if you can do it quickly enough that the left lane camper has no time to accidentally move right into you, and you won't have to cut him off after either
@@MushInSkull no... by this guys comments, you can tell he is the one holding people up in the left lane.
I feel like you might have misunderstood… he was saying it’s ok to pass someone who is camping in the left lane by using the right lane. Not by going off the road… two different scenarios from this video.
I appreciate everyone who moves over, speeds up/slows down, or stops short at an intersection, so I can move over a lane, merge, or make a turn. I can't always thank you, but I really do appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you!
Absolutely loved the “tune” on the first clip…awesome 🎸

Respect truck drivers!!
I see so many people driving stupid around trucks. I wish I had a bumper sticker that said... "If you buy ANYTHING show respect to those bringing your stuff to you!!" I taught my kids how to look ahead and make room for trucks for variety of reasons. Middle lane is where trucks go if there's anything on the shoulder... Middle lane is responsible for making room. I even taught them how to tell trucks they can come over. Wish more people would be more grateful and responsible for driving with trucks.
Dang!!! God bless you truckers for being so patient with the jerks on the road... Stay safe
Its mostly the ignorance around the physics in play with a semi. Your average car is about 4000 lbs a pick up truck is about 5600 or so. Now Just a Tractor( The Truck isself) weighs in at 28 to 36,000 lbs give or take a couple thousand. A dumptruck empty can easily be 40,000. You average loaded truck is 60 to 80,000 lbs rolling down the highway. Wanna take your car up against that mass? The average weight of a loaded dumptruck by me is 90k I give them all the space they need.
Honestly, I've seen fellow truckers also doing some really stupid shit. Last week on the Jersey turnpike, a tanker hauling fuel was drifting all over the place. I passed him on the right, he drifts into my lane, pushing me on to the shoulder. As I pass him, I look over...he's texting on the phone.
Carrying 400,000 gallons of fuel and texting while driving....unbelievable
Stay away from trucks -- 'cause they'er too big, cannot see around & their tire pressure is about 100 PSI. Think about that???
Hello Susan
@@michaelseidl5240 dude everybody acts stupid on the NJ turnpike.
When I was taught to drive in the 1980’s my instructor really focused on driving around 18 wheeler’s and other trucks. It was instilled where there blind spots are.. how there braking is slower than a car. How to be responsible and respectful around these trucks.
Hi there
That's a good idea and kudos to that instructor. I didn't start to really pay attention to a semi's limitations until I got my CDL, and now I share what I know with anyone who is willing to listen; it really sets apart the good drivers from the "steering wheel holders"
Same idea as trying to beat a train at the crossing, the can’t stop fast. Semi trucks are heavy when loaded and they can’t stop easy so it’s really stupid to pull in front of one and go slow or brake check them.
Yes, I got my license in the early 70's and the same instruction was given, along with a video of what can go wrong in the time you take to sneeze.
Carl Jacobs sorry you felt this needed to become political. There’s more in life than picking sides and blaming others.
I am borrowing that! 😄 "must have stirred his Cheerios the wrong way".
I love your videos, Happy New Year!!
2:40 why would you turn your brights on him? He was just passing you and you get behind him then flash your brights. Not cool. Could have caused an accident. When you have brights behind you, especially from a big truck. It isn’t safe. I don’t blame him for getting mad at you.
I'm still trying to figure out the context of that clip
I believe the dude the passed has little LED squares on his rear bumper that he turned on after going past
You can see it get a tiny bit brighter after the first light up and you can see little white squares after the lights have been turned off/down
@@pattyofurniture100 Yup, cammer was being a huge moron there. If you blind someone like that he is gonna stop cause he can't see shit cause you blinded him. That is not brakechecking.
Most of the time when I am cut off by a truck to pass another one it doesn’t bother me I know once you slow down a semi it’s hard to get back up to speed but if you’re going to pass another truck then freaking do it I’ve been behind trucks that are side-by-side for 5 miles
Some trucks have speed and rpm limiters. My company is set to 63
I'm usually really nice to truckers, giving them extra room, letting them in, and taking into account their loads.
But there have been times when my eyes started twitching. Like the time a truck got slowed down behind another on a big hill, cut me off to pass, and then couldn't get up any faster and I was stuck going 20 in a 65 for several miles.
Not much in the grand scheme of things, but I flicked him off when he no doubt couldn't see me (pretty much the extent of my road rage).
@Kimberly Woodbury I agree, it sucks being in a car watching that while also being stuck behind them.
But its a bitch to downshift on a grade, and if we lose turbo boost while shifting, we just lost most momentum and are now doing 10mph or less up a hill. Multiply that by all of the hills on the road, and we can lose much of our valuable government controlled drive time of 11 hours per day.
Yup see it all the time 2 trucks acting like pace cars. The Delaware Water Gap on I80, they will have 2000 foot trail of cars behind them and zero fuc#%$ given!!!
@@eamonngreenan7410 Most trucks are speed limited and, again, our drive time is regulated so 1 or 2mph really does matter for us to get paid. It's bullshit when one truck or the other won't yield and let traffic pass, but I still want people to be aware of something call a speed governor.
4:40 sounds like my man is underwater drowning 😂
😂
I have great respect for all our truck drivers on the road. Even on my bike I let them in when merging plus just help them as much as possible. Without them we wouldn't have the things we possess. .....think about it. I sure do appreciate them.
Same here, been m/cling since '75. I ALWAYS give 'em room/respect.
Road rage leads to nothing but either having to call the cops or call your insurance company
Very true
Or call the funeral home
3:46 that other trucker said: If you can't beat them, join them" lmao
Pmsl @ "stirred his Cheerios the wrong way" not heard that one before 😘😂😂
Just sayen....if you breakcheck a trucker he/she should be aloud to just push you off of the road and keep going(then charge you for the damage to said rig)
I agree, if you have evidence (dashcam video) that shows a perceived threat to you personally or property, then "stand your ground" rules should be applicable. Unfortunately, this would not apply to the vast majority of single celled organ donors (aka morons) waiting to be immortalized on RUclips.
Can't charge them for the damage unless you get their info. You can get the tag and they'll swear all day long it wasn't their truck (stolen tag, how convenient) or them driving.
IMO charges should be levied on the owner of the vehicle, regardless of who's driving.
@@amzarnacht6710 Well their arm being broken and their jaw wired shut maaaaaaay look suspicious, but it wasn't them. It was the one armed man!
Its a messy paperwork and a huge mark on your endorsement. Not worth it.
@@UnchainedAmerica -There are times when paperwork and overall costs just don't matter as much as providing so sweet payback to those who imagine that they are worth more you are. It would come down to a Dirty Harry line, "A man's dot to know his limitations".
I love the truck at 2:00 with the horn that sounds like a locomotive!
Such respect for our Truck Drivers! Thank You all, for all you do! Cause what we just saw it isn’t for the weak! 🙏🤗🙏
Dash Cams are a driver's best friend. So many 4 wheelers are to stupid to realize almost every truck has one now.
These are the many reasons I hate driving on highways and interstates, really, driving in general. Props to all you truckers for dealing with this on the daily! Stay safe out there!
Hi Kitskitt
I’m definitely using “stirred his Cheerios” phrase!
I've watched a few of these videos and I gotta hand it to truckers - they seem like the calmest, most emotionally intelligent people on the road. Not a single cuss word!
@Carl Jacobs Trump rallies are full of hogs.
@8:18, the FEDEX driver must've been asleep at the wheel that day ! How did he think that turn was gonna be successful ? ?
2:25 the heck with that dude? Brake cheking and blinding truckers for no reason
Honestly it seems like the semis were being the pricks here. Someones high beams arent that bothersome when youre so high up. That and they dont even look like his brights are on... My ruling is the semis are being pricks and deserved it.
High beams are still bright as shit from a semi 😂 No excuse to have rear facing white lights and brake check 40 tons at 60 mph. rolling an entire hurricane of coal like a dumb asshole 😂😂 he got corrected by some dudes behind the wheel of a real diesel
I’m a trucker and it blinds us in our mirrors
I mean its possible they mistook his lights for high beams? My trucks lights are bright as fuck and there isnt much of a difference between my low and high beams and i constantly get flashed for it lmao
Yeah i know that’s a problem with the new silverado 1500s 😂 i get flashed like every night in the ol work truck. never seen it on a 4th gen dodge truck though, the only way would be if the headlights were way out of alignment or if they installed some shitty aftermarket LEDs
I've been Trucking over two decades I had a guy brake check me once he'll never do it again he is physically unable to drive
Same here, l drive b doubles and you cannot pull them up in 30 seconds fully loaded
I’ve been driving cars for a very long time and it had honestly never even occurred to me to do something so stupid until I watched videos like this.
@B0omer96 l hate to say it but with dead lines and more an more vehicles on the road patience is wearing down a bit, I still really enjoy the job but some practices l see from truckies and car drivers really make me wonder what the hell are they thinking.
@B0omer96
Yes. They are more aggressive.
This is my 33rd year out here and it is getting demonstrably worse every year.
There are deadlines and hours of service regulations that are more strictly tracked than before which play a part somewhat, but it's no excuse.
The REAL reason is the huge influx of new drivers to the industry that just a year ago were Carpenters, or warehouse workers.
The ads promise the world and a boat load of money.
Lots of them have been driving less than a year and drive the truck the same way they do their cars.
For the most part your seasoned pros won't behave like this.
@@Samuel-I It may not be so often the case nowadays but many of the seasoned pros of 2 and 3 decades ago were often drugs.
"Stirred His Cheerios the wrong way" I dont know why but i really like that phrase.
That maniacal laugh at the first rear ender is priceless
Yeah, very good job I'm not a trucker. "He brake checked me, then died in a wreck." would be my tale to the police every few months.
clear sign of immaturity and stupidity to brake check a 18 wheeler.
I drive for a living, I see this stuff everyday, and it makes my piss boil... Hate to say it, but the sooner autonomous driving is perfected, the better!
Lol the last semi truck driver trying to turn left... Was trying to turn at the exact same radius as the truck Infront of him (which had no trailer) lol
Where exactly in this video did truckers unite the block a brake checker in?
Yeah should have been truckers unite to stop stop brake checker not block they never once block that guy just stopped them from blocking the other truck
damm click bait
No Trucker would do that they would without fail gets tickets and higher insurance once caught. Most state DPS monitor RUclips for these things now.
@@jasonjohnson-gl9sc both truckers and cars do boneheaded things, we even saw it in this video like the trucker who tried to do a U turn on an interstate.
In the middle of the video... the dually truck
I was really hoping the driver of the Ranger, at the beginning, would get his. Sadly, no.
I agree! What an idiot, he needed a brain check!
The trucker was acting aggressive too.
@@UnchainedAmerica how, exactly? When the pickup slowed down, the truck did too, to the best of his ability. And the truck tried to get around him, to just get away. So, he flashed his brights at the pickup? How's that "aggressive"?
@@UnchainedAmerica You do realize that because trucks easily weigh 30+ tons, they can't stop on a whim like smaller cars can. He wasn't being aggressive at all. He legitimately had a harder time slowing down because of the sheer weight.
It takes longer for bigger creatures to slow down. As the saying goes: The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Here in Brazil the Truck Driver would just pass through the car and follow with his life haha
It's stunning that people are willing to risk their lives, and those of innocent drivers, just for their ego. These types of offenses need to carry hefty penalties to deter this reckless behavior.
Yep it's what we deal with daily out here and it's just getting worse love the videos keep it up great stuff
I don't brake check it's dangerous and rude. I respect Trucks and happily give them space.
Sorry to hear that but not surprised...be safe
@@nanachick05 thank you so much and you be safe as well
Kyle Smith it takes a long time for one truck to pass another at 2 mph difference. A lot of times I just wait until there is a lot of space before I make a move such as this. But before you know it, they all just show up very quickly. I am governed at 66mph. In a 70mph zone it doesn’t take long for the faster traffic to catch up. Usually at 80+mph. But all I ask is keep in mind that this is not a race, first one there receives no cash reward or prize. Just your life and we all get to keep that when we relax. Thanks for understanding. I’ll get out of your way now.
I don’t agree with brake checking truck drivers bc I understand it’s harder for y’all to slow down like that but I grew up in an oil town where there were a lot of truck drivers and some of the ones I had experiences with were the truck drivers just being complete a holes and cutting u off and stuff bc they were bigger.
6:15 This trucker was cut off in his prime🤣
I see. And I understand. 😆
Booooooo😎
He only did what all truck drivers do funny the truck driver is mad for it I bet you he's done that on multiple occasions 😂
This is pathetic what these people do. Their stupidity is awful. When I’m out, these truckers are number 1. You all got my respect
What the general public doesn't understand is that different companies govern the speed of thier trucks at different speeds, and as a trucker it makes it really hard to pick and choose when we have to hit an opening to pass. If we don't take an opening to pass sometimes we could be stuck there for an hour fighting with another truck.
My dad always said "just because they use a blinker doesn't give the right to cut you off".I said that to a driving instructor and he called me aggressive.Maybe true,but don't cut me off!
@Randall Davis
Your father and you ARE CORRECT...
Your former Driving Instructor sounds like they have no business BEING an Instructor of any kind.
3:40 is it just me or were those semis trying to run that guy off the road and the only reason i can think of is because he was going to... Pass them? I guess he shouldve known better than to drive on their road huh lol
I'm guessing you're the type of person who has flood light add-ons on the bottom back of your truck and loves to break check semi-trucks too.
Anyone who brake check a semi needs to committed to the stupid house.
I see 4 wheelers merging onto the highway without even looking. A lot. It blows my mind.
For some reason people think Semi's can stop on a dime. Pull out in front of them and expect them to instantly stop. They need a course on how to behave around Semi's and motorcyclists.
You mean insurance can't just pay for thier idiotic acts.
Well, many they should also get lessons in being human. Disability can be a bitch!
As a bike rider for 45 years, I've learnt that you have to ride like you simply don't register to car drivers.
@@bryanfarrow914 It never fails to amaze me how blind people are when it comes to bike rider's. I've sat at stop signs and watch cars pull out in front of a motorcyclist when they are just a car length or so away. Dangerous and rude. We have a side road that turns off the highway nearby and it's a favorite for motorists to just barely slow down to stop or look. So a few of us got together and went to the Sheriff told them they needed to go watch. Didn't think they did until an off duty cop on his bike saw first hand what happens. A few tickets were written that day. Semi driver's dont fare much better. The 4 lane ends and goes to a 2 lane. Car's will speed up to pass the semi and then slow down. Or they pull out of a side road where the 4 lane and 2 lane meet and slow down.
People who try brake checking a semi should try it on a freight train
I used to drive a 35 foot Class A motor home and drivers treated me the same as they did truckers. Cutting in front with only inches of clearance, passing me then slowing down, flipping me off because I was driving the speed limit in the right lane. Big motor homes don't stop quick and can't change lanes easily!
I’ll never understand why people get so mad and start harassing other drivers
6:15 you know it's Los Angeles when the hills are on fire.
I lost count of how many pricks do that to me anymore.
It really gets old doesn't it Kelvin.
I can't believe these idiots temp going up against a Hugh Semi loaded or not. I grew up in the Midwest and the truckers know how to drive usually felt safer driving alongside semi trucks. Drive safe and thanks for sharing
People be watching Madagascar on their phones and find it so funny that they wanna merge without looking.
could someone please help explain to me what was happening with the clip that started at 2:30? From my perspective, it would appear that the semi driver who's dashcam is recording the clip is the aggressor. The dually seems to be passing without issue until the semi starts flashing their hi-beams at it, and then it starts playing the brake check game.
Pretty sure they're all at fault, lol. They were likely all over the speed limit (assuming its America) so the pickup was flyin'. But I think the transport switched lanes and flashed him because the pickups lights were blinding him. The pickup also seemed to have trouble staying in his lane and didnt seemed to care much for his own or anyone elses safety for that matter.
This makes me respect the lorry drivers across the world even more.
In China, small vehicle drivers have a common fear on semi trucks and tend to stay as far away from them as possible.
I never knew there were so many idiots that would brake check semi trucks until I watched these videos.
I love these.
I was going west on 40....traffic accident...3 mile backup..left lane closed. Of course no one paid attention. Thats when two truckers blocked both lanes and rode side by side till the site the one let the other in.. Team work!! Otherwise we would have been waiting on those people who went by trying to skip and get in at last minute causing mote traffic..:)!!!👍
Is that like when the moron truckers in complete disregard of the merge signs clogged up I-81 in PA going into the construction zones?
@@michaelh2034 Not sure if same situation...
Last video. I’m on the interstate quite a bit and have the most problems and/or have seen the most problems with FedEx drivers and XPO drivers.
You know if it wasn’t for the truck drivers we would have nothing on our Shelves or in the stores or wherever because they are the ones that get the stuff from the warehouse to the stores so show some respect to the truck drivers truly 👍🚛🚚👍🚚🚛👍
The first is just a typical Washington driver. Especially the ones from Crackima. Damn the 2nd one is also right next to me and again a Washington motorist. They had construction right there for over 2.5 damn years!
Honestly, I thought Washington drivers were bad. But then I moved to Minnesota lol.
Sometimes I feel like just buying an old semi with a bull bar and wait for someone to do this to me and just plow into them, and then I'll be like, "welp that's your problem, semis can't brake as quickly as you :)"
I like how in a rush people are, only to take twice as long to show how childish they are lol
me eating cut up strawberry slices while watching Dashcam Lessons videos: “yo this shit’s fire”
At 6:18 Amazon is like Swift, They hire anybody: No driving experience required.
Amazon uses primarily owner-operators to move their freight. This means the driver is his own boss they do whatever they want
I’ve been in a bad accident because of this
@@aaronroesch5043 same
Anybody??? Hell, Swift has reps sitting in parole hearings trying to sign ex-cons up at 24 cents a mile.
