[QUOTE="35years, post: 3434384, member: 60822"] When on a open highway and I am traveling faster than group of say 5 trucks, the last truck in the group will intentionally move to the left lane at the last moment to block me from passing. This is unsafe. He will then travel only 1/2 to 1 MPH faster than the 4 trucks in the right lane. Sometimes the truck in the left lane will travel at the same speed as the trucks in the right lane for many, many miles, blocking traffic. This sometimes causes road rage in other drivers. I assume it is done so that cars do not pass the trucks at a high rate of speed. I think the truckers should at least not jump lanes at the last moment and the left lane driver should travel at least 2-3 MPH faster than the right lane trucks. Two questions: Are these "convoys" illegal? Does UPS discourage feeder drivers from doing this? [/QUOTE]
