Sorry folks.  Yet another one in favor of the truckers.

I've spent a LOT of time driving across I80 in Pa, and Ohio,
and on I81 (NY to Virginia), and I've had about two incidents
where I was even annoyed at truckers.  Most of the time, I stick
in a convoy, and don't run into 
	1) Officers of the Law
	2) Cars
	3) Rudeness

There are certainly a few BAD BAD BAD drivers, but if I stay
clear of them  I've found that truck drivers are
safer, more polite, and more helpful than 95% of auto drivers.
The experience shows in knowledge of where their vehicle is
, what it can do, and what SHOULD be done.
