Trucks aren’t supposed to go over 75 on that stretch of highway - yet they will pass, uphill, knowing they are going to have a slew of cars blocked for miles. I give truckers a lot of respect as well, and try to be aware of their needs on the highway - a good defensive driver should - but blocking a major highway in a hilly area is stupid on their part.
Around Pittsburgh, especially on going up Greentree hill out of the tubes on the Parkway West, I’ve seen trucks pulled over by Da ‘Burgh’s finest and ticketed for being in the left lane. Its forbidden on some hills here for trucks to go in the left lane for any reason, (unless the right lane is closed), regardless of how it screws with their shifting....and rightly so.
I’m sick of their arguments. My highway taxes are just as good as theirs, and most aren’t even from in state.
