I agree with you Crazycuda. Truckers also box drunk drivers in and bring them to a stop, and hold up the idiots in cars at lane closures (the ones trying to race down the closed lane to the very end) to get traffic moving again.
Truckers have CB's and usually are friends with other truckers who may be close by. And if you piss one off may find yourself surrounded and blocked by trucks! They can round up a bigger posi than you can and faster!
To quote Ron White, "I didn't know how many of them it was gonna take to kick my @ss, but I knew how many they were gonna use... That's good information right there... Overkill... So I backed down..."
